Molds, CT Scan & Family Appointment

I had one last appointment to go to before my surgery today. I had to go in for my molds, a CT scan of my jaw and a pre-surgical split. I had DH come to help out with the boys as well as to hear it 'from the horses mouth' just how actually horrible the surgery is. I wanted him to hear the details and recovery info from the doctor before the actual surgery so he knew what we were getting into. I needed him to understand just how major a surgery it is. It was ironic really, because one of the papers I had to sign said as much. Paper signed and everything worked out through the office and all 4 of us went back to the room. The doc came in to talk to us and tell DH just what I hoped he would and to look at my mouth one last time. He answered some questions and then I was left with the nurse. She pulled me into the next exam room away from the may-lay that is my family to do the molds. We had to do two sets. I was so scared of it because I'm so claustrophobic but she went fast and I did OK. I guess the reason they do two molds is because one has to be sent to the manufacturer before surgery and then the doctor likes to have one to perform a mock surgery on. That made me feel much more confident. After doing the molds I was done. We were out of there. I just had to have the LOA papers for work signed and that would be the last time I saw anyone in that office again with the current face and jaw I have. The office staff filled out my papers with a 2 week leave after talking with the doc. He was hesitant to only let me off 2 weeks but after I said I'd be able to work from home the 3rd week he backed down with a "as long as you realize you can have more time if needed". Yea, yea, yea...I thought, I'm a quick recover-er, and I had stuff to do! I also asked the office staff for the CPT and ICD-9 codes for the surgery I was about to have so I could do a little insurance investigation of my own. Just for anyone's reference that cares, they are:

Dx codes- 327.23 Obstructive Sleep Apnea, 524.03 Maxillary Hypoplasia, 524.04 Manibular Hypoplasia, 524.12 Other jaw asymmetry

CPT codes- 21141 LeFort; single piece without graft, 21196 Bilateral Sagittal Split, 21199 Genioglossus, 30520 Septoplasty, 30130 Turbinectomy, 21085 Surgical Splint- to be done 2 weeks prior to surgery.

When I got home that afternoon I IM'd my boss to tell him the news and date. I apologized profusely for the timing but we agreed it'd be OK. Phew. Thank God! Now, to hurry and finish my quarter at work and learn a new system all in a 3 week period! Sigh...
