Pre-Op...Day Three

It was all fun and games until around 5:30, when that evil doer, Head Hunger, came around...I was stressing a bit, and I wanted food!

 

The urge to eat was a little overwhelming.....I was so desperate, I think I would have gone for a piece of cardboard with a little salt :( Instead, I had some water, kept busy, then had my shake at 7 p.m.....poor hubby, his dinner was an afterthought tonight....

 

I received a letter from the insurance company today stating they'd approved a hospital stay of 1 day...all conversations with the dr's said 2 days...so I called the ins. co. and yes, as it stands, I will be going home the day after surgery....a scary thought to be released a day after having [what I think is] major surgery.....hubby is wonderful, but nurturing just doesn't come easily to him....he's still in training LOL [and that's okay, housework doesn't come naturally to me] :D

 

 

They did say if another day is needed, a 2nd authorization could be requested......the letter was dated 7/22 and says the next review will be 7/24 (as in yesterday)... :angry:...I sent my dr's office a quick email and left it at that. I can't control it and nothing I can do about it.....

 

That's all for today. Good night!

The dr will take care of ins. I could have went home the next day but I chose to stay that extra day. Some have this surgery outpatient and many only stay overnight. You may have a very easy time so don't worry. I didn't need any help at home. You are supposed to walk a lot so not to get bloodclots. So taking care of yourself is your only priority. You will do just fine.
