Approval

When my mom got home today, she announced that I had mail from the insurance company. Frantically opening it, I could barely speak the words in front of me: your request for a reduction mammoplasty has been approved and meets the requirements of a medical necessity. With tears in my eyes, I looked at my mom and smiled. It's finally coming together. In 23 days, my time of having severe neck pain will end. While helping prepare the table for dinner tonight, I had to adjust my bra straps on my shoulders about three times in order to ease the pain. I even asked my mom to rub my neck so she could ease the shooting pain traveling through my neck. It's as if my symptoms are getting worse now that I've been approved. After cleaning up the kitchen, I went to my room and propped myself up on some pillows on my bed. I'm sitting here now, leaning upon pillows, struggling to find comfort. The letter of approval was just what I needed to assure me that better days lie ahead.
