Well, my mom didn't have time to call yesterday, so she said she'd call today. It turns out that whole bit with the insurance is they had on record that we were still with a secondary insurance that we canceled in 1999. They were going to try to make the other Ins. Comp. pay, if so. But we told them that we were no longer with that comp., anymore. SO, now they are finishing the reviewing. Although, I don't have an answer, yet, I still feel relieved 'cause I'm one step closer! It's just a matter of waiting, now.

Well, Happy Thanksgiving!! I ate like a pig on steroids, today! Ugh!!! I have GOT to lose this weight before the surgery. Lord, give me the strength!! LOL I'm goin out of town this weekend, so maybe that will get the whole ordeal off my mind. I'm hoping it will make the weekend go by faster, so the insurance can call me!!!  Aaaaah. Anyway. I bought a cute little bra, today from Target. It's my first, and I can't wait 'til I can wear it! I thought that having that to look at occasionally would cheer me up! It's gotten to the point to where I can spot a 36C from across the store. LOL That's my ideal size. Well, I'll update more, when I get back into town. Again, HAPPY THANKSGIVNG! 

Hello. Well, I was dreadfully sick for my trip. I knew I was allergic to cats, but I've never had a problem with my dog. My host had 3 dogs and a cat and I was sick the entire time! Ugh! I also was on one of the worst periods known to women around. You know the type where you have to frequent to the ladies room every 10 minutes, literally! The way I look at it, I got it out of the way, so I won't be sick or have my period during my surgery! I'm going to call my ins. comp., tomorrow. Wish me luck!!!

Love, Alecia

I GOT APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called my PS office, today. Initially the news was bad... The secretary began to tell me the story she told me last week about how the insurance wouldn't pay if I had a second insurance company. After we had already called and told them that we had cancelled that insurance in 1999. I said I'd call back and told my mom what was up. She was about to call to straighten it all out, when the lady called back and said that there was a mix up (on her part) and that she would be calling my insurance, today, for an update. Then about 10 minutes later she called back and I was APPROVED!!!!

There is one downer, though. She had already set up my appointment date FOR me, and didn't bother to ask what would be good for ME. It was set for 01/08/01. I really needed and wanted to get it done DURING the holidays! Yes, I'm bummed about that... :0(, but I'm still freaked  out about it, though! Yippee!!! At least, I finally have a set date. I WILL try to set it for earlier, if possible, and if not, I will tell them that I will take a cancellation if it comes up. Otherwise my date is on January 8, 2000! I hope this all turns out well. I will pray for and have everyone in my thoughts who are considering, waiting for or recovering from BR Surgery. Love you, gals!

Love and much respect to all of you!
