I want to Scream!

I had what I thought was going to be my last consult and that today, everything was going to go to the insurance and hopefully, I would have an answer by the end of the week. Blah. I still have to have ONE more Pre-op / Post-op teaching with the RN. I didn't know that I had to have this before I could submit to insurance. Gah. I am so tired of all the hoopala. My main concern now, is, it is the end of the year, my deductible is met and I want to get this done. The problem is, do I go back to work for a week or two until I get approval and then take the time off again. I don't want anyone at work being upset with me about taking so much time off but, I am trying to get "me" taken care of. Hopefully then, I will be like new and able to not miss any more work and get this done.
