It's really happening

#1 Post by science teacher »

Today I got news that my insurance will cover the SARPE. Which is AWESOME! :jump:

Yesterday, my sister-in-law agreed to watch the kids for the day of surgery. :D

Friday I got the cast off my leg because it was no longer broken. :-#)


I'm on a roll! Now all I have to do is get the RPE cemented in Wednesday, my mom has surgery Thursday, grade my finals, and plan for a sub. :D


I'm feeling good today!

Kim - I think you should go buy a lottery ticket. That is all great news. Sure does seem like things have gone really fast for you. Isn't your SARPE in just a couple of weeks?

Congrats! Sounds like your'e well on the way :) What type of insurance do you have? Did you have to do anything special (write letters, phone calls, etc) to get them to approve it or did you just submit the claim?

Good luck with the expander...keep us updated and hope things keep going so well for you!
