Finally approved - getting started tomorrow!

Alan talked to his contact at the insurance company late yesterday and was told that I had been approved for the SIR Spheres procedure! We need to have this in writing, though, before we can get started with anything, and we waited ALL DAY today to get the letter in hand. I had talked to the nurse coordinator at the hospital earlier in the day, and she said that I could come in tomorrow for the angiogram if we faxed her a copy of the letter before she went home at 4pm. The letter, of course, didn't come through until after 5pm. So I called and left her a voice mail, figuring we'd have to put it off another day. She called me back at 9:30 tonight, and we are on for tomorrow! I have to be there at 6am to check in. They will do some blood work and a CT scan before the angiogram, which will take 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. I should be home sometime in the afternoon or evening tomorrow. Wow, after all the waiting, things are moving fast! Assuming all goes well with the angiogram tomorrow, I should be able to get the SIR Spheres next week. I am so glad to finally get started, and I'm very thankful that my in-laws stuck it out with us so that we can get started on such short notice. After a thoroughly frustrating day (including me hitting a pothole and needing to get new tires for the van), I can breathe a big sigh of relief. Whew!
