Surgery is scheduled....
This is a tentative date.. 90% sure it ¡s going to stay the same. Wednesday May 26th. He will be having the translab on the left side (unless they find something hinky with the CT Scan) We need to arrive at U of M in Ann Arbor at 5:30 is and the surgery should start at 7 am. Dr. El Kashlan and Dr. Thompson will be the ENT and Neuro for this.
My mother is planning on Driving out from CA and arriving the 24th and staying about 1-2 weeks as needed. My MiL will be flying in on the 24th also from CA and staying about a week. I will be staying at the Med Inn there at the Hospital while he is there. Since I have my mother and mother in law going to be here with our 3 kids ages 6, 8 and 11. Thank Goodness my Mother and MiL get along huh?
He has a CT Scan this Friday, and then the other PRE op Testing closer to the surgery. May 18th he has Nerve testing, for the facial nerve, the balance nerve, and a meeting with the Therapist for after the surgery, Then on May 20th he has an appointment with the Neuro and his Pre-op Physical..
Kind of feels nice to have that done. We have spent the last few weeks feeling like Eeyore walking around with a thunder cloud hanging over out heads pouring rain on only us.

Keep you all updated as things happen. Now to figure out how this whole Short term disability stuff works. Dh has 9 weeks full pay through work and another 14 wks at 60% pay.. Now is this the same as the State's Disability stuff or do we need to file stuff with them as well. Regarding insurance, do I need to call my insurance before the surgery etc.. we have a PPO through BC/BS and dont usually need any kind of referrals/ preauthorizations but you never know right?
THanks for all your support so far.
