Still Weak from the flu....

Well, I'm very weak from the swine flu. It's the second week. The sickness part is gone but I have NO ENERGY!! I had a little more energy today. I didn't have to stop but twice on the way in from the parking lot to the office this morning. I do not want to have surgery until I get my energy back. I called the doctors office and asked them if they had been notified by UHC that I was approved. The ins. cleck said she had been very busy and didn't know. She said why don't you fax what you have. I did that today. I didn't hear anything from them. Clearly, they must have a LOT of patients because I'm not a priority. I wonder if I ever called them again if they would care.

Oh well... I need to concentrate on getting better and I would like to find a support group in my town. I have been so consumed with working on the ins. appeal that I'm afraid I've forgot everything I knew about how to eat after surgery. I want to research that and find a protein shake I can drink and get some things in the house that will be OK to eat. With the Swine Flu, I lost over 11 pounds in a week. It was a really bad way to loose but they're gone just the same. I'm working hard to eat right and keep this weight off.

 

I'm tired so I'm closing. Hope you are doing well!! :thumbup:
