Thanks, everyone! Of course I still have to go back to the surgeon and get insurance to approve this... but he thinks he can and says he will fight them if they don't as it is medical (causing back and shoulder damage, muscle/skeletal, etc.). But at least I am doing my part.

Oh Misti, what great news from the DR. I dream of the day my DR tells me the same news.

That's terrific!! You're doing all the right things. Congrats!!

That is wonderful!! Congratulations

Super yay!!!!

Such exciting news! What a thrill it must be to have your doctors be proud of you. Congrats!! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!!

Congrats Misti!! That isn't a mini goal at all.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That is absolutely incredible!! I am so happy for you as well! I agree...nothing 'mini' about this at all!!!

Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments.

WTG!!!

Thanks!!! Today my chiro told me the same thing!!! wooohooooooo can't wait to see the surgeon

Congratulations! And good luck with the surgery. Once you've recovered, a little shopping spree will definitely be in order (or maybe a big shopping spree -- you've earned it!).

Congrats!!!! That is fantastic

congrats, and fingers crossed for your appt with the surgeon!

I agree with Betsy! Sounds like an excuse to go shopping to me!

Congrats!!!
