Just a couple of new things to report. The first is that I have my pre-op appointment on July 2nd at the surgeon's office. They will do some x-rays, measurements, and take impressions for my splint. After two weeks of phone tag with the surgeon's office, everything is finally in order. My payment in due on July 11th, so I will probably just pay it when I go in for my pre-op appointment. Now I am playing phone tag with the actual hospital. Everything is set on that end as well, but I still need a price estimate. I was told there will multiple different bills, including: hospital, surgeon, anesthesiologist, and lab fees. Once I have all these compiled, I will be sure to let you all know what to expect. Expect to play phone tag for awhile because you are busy and the people you are trying to coordinate with are as well. Try to leave yourself at least two weeks to get everything lined up. You will be a lot less stressed... I promise!
