Another Day

On yesterday, I called my insurance company (Tricare) to ask a few questions regarding the requirements of the surgery. Of course, I knew the answers for a portion but wasn't sure about the hospitalization. During the conversation, the representative informed me that my surgeon actually submitted the paperwork that morning and it was in pending status. What i felt yesterday was a little relieve since I have been in the 200's the majority of my adult life. Being a wife and mother, i just want the healthy lifestyle of bein beneficial to myself and my family. With a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks and high cholesterol, it is time for me to be concerned about my health. My father passed at 44 from a massive heart attack along wiith diabetes and kidney failure. It hurts my heart each day because I don't want to leave my family so young like my father who I loved dearly. So this entire journey and process has so many values to me and i am just going to be patient and learn it is a lifetime committment to be a better me.
