The Grand Snip: I may yet get my date.

The story as of yesterday morning: Dr. Bowers' office was worried that MyCo's benefits people would refuse to consider my shrink letters, etc. until after I reach my year of full time on December 10th, which would necessitate rescheduling my surgery from December 13th to a few months into the future. Dr. Bowers' folks said they'd have to hear from insurance by November 7th.

So I talked to a (low-level) human for MyCo's benefits. He didn't have the authority to give a definite yea or nay to Dr. Bowers regarding my date. However, he did say that all of the paperwork that Dr. Bowers' office sent (including my shrink letters) seemed to be complete. He also said that they'd make their decision by October 25th.

I think this is promising. Pretty please?
