TexasguyEP 56 Posted January 5, 2017 Alright guys, just like the title suggests, I have finally been approved! Just waiting to hear from my surgeons office to see how much I have to fork over and be able to have a date set. I have to admit, this is pretty exciting. Just at arms length it feels like.

TexasguyEP 56 Posted January 7, 2017 Everyone, thank you very much. Yes, I am psyched, I'm excited and definitely cannot wait until a date has been set. I'll be expecting to take the full month off work, I don't know that I will feel that I need it, but if the surgeon is requesting it, I'll definitely go for it. I need the time off and I'll be able to be more active on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
