At 4:30pm today, after everyone had already gone from the radiology center, sigh, the insurance FINALLY deemed me worthy to have an MRI. So NOW, because of Labor Day, I can't even make an appointment till next Tuesday....
OK, I'm breathing. In and Out.

Nice thing, tho....many people, for years, have been saying I should have my head examined.... lol

Hugs, Kathi

    Hi kathi,
    Think positively, at least insurance approved the MRI so even though waiting is the most difficult thing, try to have a fun relaxing weekend. Do something to keep yourself busy and to keep your mind off the whole thing.
    Take care,

    Hi Kathi, At least right now you have the peace of mind of the insurance approval, I know that the waiting is the worst, but nothing that you can do at this moment, what I try to do, is live one day at a time, and just for today I am not going to worry for anything, everything is perfect,I might worry tommorrow but not today, and then next day I do the same thing, anyway you know that you are in our prayers everyday, I am sending you my best positives thoughts,for a clear MRI, you deserve and you will be NED. Lots of hugs,Betina

    Kathi Glad to hear your insurance approved, even though it was 4:30 on a Friday before a holiday weekend. Sometimes.............people cancel their appts on the day following a holiday and you can "nab" one of those slots (just a thought) because it has happened to me. Heres hoping your MRI is NED!
    God Bless,

    Hi Kathi, Bet the insurance would respond if they didn't get paid their premium. I am so glad they approved the MRI for you. I know it is hard to wait but it gives us more time to send you our prayers and good vibes. Hang in there! Hugs to you, Mary

    Kathi, you're in my thoughts and prayers. Sometimes I think there must be a conspiracy afoot when holiday weekends and such stand in the way of needed tests and procedures. My husband was dx on 12/30/05 and due to New Year's holiday and waiting on the doctors, we couldn't consult an oncologist for about 10 days. It was absolute torture. You are one strong lady and if it helps, please know how many of us on this site are thinking of you and praying for good results.
