Thanks everyone. I feel that it's too long of a wait also. I called today to talk with someone about the surgery but could only leave a message to be passed on with the promise of someone calling me back. The lady answering the phone offered an excuse that they have to wait on the approval from the insurance company. I asked if that was the problem but she didn't know. So another thing to be concerned about? ! I am going to look into some other options but how do you know if the new doctor outside of a CCC is any good and how do you find them. I feel so ignorant of what to do and where to go. I will never ever take it lightly again when I hear people discuss finding good medical care. I am mentally and physically tired and lost. Don't mean to sound down about it. Wish someone could take me by the hand and lead me step by step. But I guess we all felt like that at first. Okay no time for self pity. Tomorrow I fight. Thanks again your help is a Godsend!
