My SI Joint Fusion Surgery is covered!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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. Cindylou

Too often things don't turn out the way we want them. We wonder what is going on. When they do work out, you just sit back and smile
 or as some women prefer, we cry. Hope all turns out well.
