Default finally moving forward

After 2 years consideration I finally made a step forward in May and talked to my doc who refered me on to a surgeon. Earliest appt. Sept 15. Which I have considered an eternity away all summer long. Finally I am less than a month away and have my psych consult scheduled for Aug30. I could have done the psych things sooner but when I had to wait so long I felt my enthusiasm drop. Now all of a sudden things are going and going fast. I have been to a support meeting and got a great recipe for Key Lime Pie. (I'll post that on recipe thread) I called my insurance today and they were soooo helpful and answered all of my questions. So it sounds like it will go off without a hitch. My surgeon is the consultant for Blue cross/ BS for GBS, he said at our meeting he will be meeting with them again this month this is for nation wide BC/BS, based out of Iowa. He is a great guy and has literally done thousands of surgerys. He is definitaly at bat for all of us all the time. I thought that was cool to find out. Guess why that is why He is hard to get in to see. Anyway I'm rambleing because I can feel the adrenaline coming back so say a little prayer for me. I think I've cleared the hump.

Looking at the first part of Nov. for surgery since I have a church youth group trip the end of October for NCYC in Atlanta.

Okay now I'm getting those nervous feelings again like I had in May. YEA!!!

Default Diane,

It's perfectly normal to feel the way you are. I've got you in my thoughts and prayers!
