Zippity do da!!!!!!!!!!!  My SI joint fusion surgery is covered!!!!  I couldn't take the torture anymore with waiting, and called Dr. Stark's office late this afternoon.  I was truly expecting a "no" since they said they would call me yesterday with the answer, and I hadn't heard anything.  So, imagine my surprise when she said she had just gotten off the phone with HealthPartner's and it was a yes.  I so needed a yes.  Honestly.  I have been so down in the dumps, on top of my pain levels, on top of our dear friend's inevitable demise.  I just cried, I was so relieved.  So, surgery is set for March 9th!  Yikes!  It is 1 day before the baby is due, altho, Christy is 75% effaced and dilated 1.5 centimeters.  So, come on baby!!!  

  Let's get this show on the road!  

  Thank-you for all the prayers guys.
