Kathy's journey

[Northern Star Girl]

My letter exists and is being faxed to my doctor as I type, with a hard-copy followup to me by snail mail.  It only took about 12 months to get the appointment and 8 weeks since then to get the letter.    Oh, well, at least I'll have it now and the rest of the process can begin.

@KathyLauren
Dear Kathy:
Finally! I am so glad that you received your important letter and have now forwarded on to your doctor so that your important step in your journey can be taken.... 

PLEASE.... 
...just as soon as you get a firm date please let us all know so we can count-down the days with you.

Yes indeed....
      SQUEEEEEEE!!

Hugs, well wishes to you, and congratulations!!!!

SQUEEEE! and YESSS! and WOOHOO!!

[KathyLauren]

Thanks, @Alaskan Danielle, @Anne Blake, @Donica, @Steph2.0.

It will be a few months yet before I get a date.  First, it will take a couple of months to get insurance funding, which has to be pre-approved before I can do anything else.  Then, my file gets sent to Dr. Brassard's office, where it will take about three months to do the preliminaries.  Only then will I get a date, which could be up to a year in the future at that point.

The wheels turn slowly, but the chocks are out and they are starting to roll.

Congrats Kathy.   This is such good news.  Have been following closely and hoping for you!

Great news Kathy!  I hope the rest of the process goes quickly for you.

Yay Kathy! Just knowing the wheels have broken off the rust and are rolling should feel better from here on out. We're with you all the way, er at least until the double doors where they wheel you in.

Progress!!  I still haven't received my copy of the letter (snail mail), but my doctor got her copy by fax, and it has already been sent, along with all the other required documentation to the insurance office for approval.

Once that comes through (probably a couple of months, being over the holidays), then I apply to Dr. Brassard's clinic, wait a few months for them to respond, then I'll get a date.

So pardon me while I SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!


...And in other good news, my electrologist told me that in the new year, I should start booking half-hour appointments, 'cause she is running out of hair to zap!  And she wants to do my eyebrows soon.

You need to post in the Happy thread. Congratulations! The wheels are picking up speed.

Great news Kathy, on both counts.

Dear Kathy:
I will say one of my patented phrases....  WOW-WHEE
........  this is very wonderful news !!!
The FAX worked out much better than the snail male post office for sure.

As I have mentioned to others that are firming up their own surgery plans, once you get a firm surgery date, we would just love to countdown the days with you.

Of course, please keep your updates coming relating to this and your general life endeavors.   We want to rejoice with you in the good news and we want to support you when the news is not so good....   
... we are your biggest fans and we are all rooting for you.

Hugs and well wishes,
Danielle

WOW-WHEE.....SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE is right.
Have you discussed down below to your electrocutioner?

Hugs and smiles, Jess

[KathyLauren]

Thank you, @Jessica, @Alaskan Danielle, @JudiBlueEyes and @RandyL!

Have you discussed down below to your electrocutioner?

No, I haven't.  Dr. Brassard doesn't require clearing, and I won't have an interior in which to worry about stray hairs that escape the follicle scrape.  (Whew, dodged a bullet there!)

Congratulations Kathy. Slow progress is still progress. Keep those squeaky wheels squeaking, things seem to get done the more noise you make.

Hugs?

Yay, my copy of the letter finally arrived by snail-mail!  I now have documented proof that I'm not completely nuts.
