Everyone is right and part of me was expecting this. It was still awful to see 'denied' pop up. They did send the letter of denial to my portal overnight which is better than having to wait fir it to come snail mail. I forwarded it to my surgeon this morning. The first issue was...wait for it...the referral didn't indicate whether or not I use tobacco.

Then, it was PT which I was nervous about. I ho0enthey accept what I did last October. If I have to have 6 more weeks of PT, this could drag on forever.

Wasn't tempted to eat over it. It's too hard to get back on track. Let's hope that holds.

Love you guys.
