....continued

During my last post about me being upset, I forgot to mention the little glimpse of hope. But VERY SMALL GLIMPSE! Captain Johnson did call me back after I plead my case with him. He said he would present my chart to another surgeon and see if that particular doctor would see my case differently. What I don't get is if you go to their particular website and read their acceptance criteria, well I DO in fact qualify. Why is everything so difficult for me? So, I realize its a long shot, but we will see. Even Captain Johnson told me not get my hopes up. Should I call them and request to meet with them? Should I bug the crap out of them until I get what I want??? =)
So anyway, just an update from my last post. I was in such a "pitty" mood, I failed to mention that little glitter of hope. He said he would get back to me this week, my guess is not till Friday. They love to make you sit on pins and needles.
I am "proof is in black and white" kind of gal, so here is a link. How can they deny me?
By the way I have asthma and dejenterive joint disease.
