Talking Today is a whole new beginning

Hi everyone.

Today I was approved and give my surgery date. I go in on the 28th of this month. I am so excited. It was weird at first to get the news I can't believe it. Then I was a little bummed because everyone was so busy that I didn't get to really share my excitement with anyone. I did call Dionne. She is like a buddy, but she just found out her date is the 21st of this month. So that made me feel better. I told my boss and he is scrambling alittle because he I am the only one who does what I do in my office. Maybe that is a good thing. I look at it this way absence makes the heart grow fonder. he he

My life is changing all around me. My daughter and son-in-law are buying a house and want me to move in with them. I have mid-terms and 2 guys that like me but drive me up a wall. My sister says that all guys are like them. Gee I hope not. I know I am rambleing on but I just need to talk and there is no one her to talk to and it's too late to call anyone. Boy what a life. I am going to slow down once this surgery is done. I have already cut back my hours with my second job. Boy I guess I am really a busy person. Never really thought about it before.

To evreyone out there waiting I am praying for a quick process. Just call everyday to those people that your waiting on to send the test to your doctor. If you have to call the place it is coming from and ask them to fax it to you and then call your Dr and stay on the phone until they get your fax. Call your ins. company and see if they have recieved your claim. If they have then be sugary sweet and let them know this is the last of your process and could they see where you are in the process. It really helped me.

Well I'll write more on the day I have my last pre-op before surgery. Soon I too will be a BIG LOSER. Yippy Oh and Dionne Congradulations girl. I knew you would make it. Everyone keep up the good work.

Bye for now.
Bec

Wow, busy gal. Great timing for the surgery. Sounds like you need some down time for yourself and for some inner reflection. Foucs on your own needs for awhile. Try not the let the needs of others get in the way of your recovery.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the encouragement from you all, Dyann, Mike and Marie. I is really been a rollercoaster ride. First you do all of the running around iththe doctor and stuff, then the meetings, then the insurance. Boy your emotions are on such highs and lows. Your excited then impatient, fruastrated, then happy happy happy. I can't wait to see what next God has in store for me.

Thanks agian, everyone in this whole Forum has been so incouraging.

COngrats on your date! Your life sounds like mine! School and work-no one where I work really knows my job like I do. They kept calling me at like 10 pm or later to ask me for help while I was off recovering. Finally, I told them I was going to charge a consultation fee if it didn't stop (I was kidding but the calls did slow down some). Take your recovery time for yourself. Rest, relax, read a book, or watch ssome movies you have been meaning to see. I did a lot of school work (I love school and had to do 3 weeks worth of catch up, god bless my professors they were great). It'll be nice for you to be able to slow down for a bit-even if you are recovering from major surgery!
