Always Something

Well I thought I was done with my pre-approvals but of course I was not. I was told that the insurance company wanted Cardiologist and Pulmonlogist clearance before they would continue reviewing my application. Of So I went to see the cardiologist. Apparently my left ventricle is slightly enlarged. I had an echo done. I guess its ok because the the docotr signed my clearance form. I am psyched!!! ooo rah!!! :P Now for the Pulmoniologist. I have not been racing to get this done because I have homework, and work - work, and a five year old. I can't be running off to doctor's appointments all the time. So I decided to do one at a time. Now I have to find a Pulmonologist that will see me without making me wait a month to get an appointment. One wanted to me to gext x-rayed and somemore crap. I think I made an appoinment with them - but then again - maybe not. I think they wanted me to do the x-ray and other crap before they would set the appointment. Well I forgot I had an x-ray back in september. So I'f better go ahead and take care of that other thing they wanted so I can get my butt in there. I need to be ready for surgery by spring break. That will give me one week to get over the initial pain and be able to function. I mean even if I have to take two weeks to recover, at least I will only miss one week of work and none of school if I get this done during Spring break. The Monday after Easter works for me.

 

I am trying to spend this time getting mentally geared up. Its a good thing. I don;t know how people who get decided to get it done are getting banded within a month of making the decision. Gutsy (or crazy). Naw I shouldn't say that. I should just say that I need time to get myself mentally and emotionally prepared - other people may not need that - I need that. Hmmm, I guess I was trying to make my situation somebody else's.

 

So I'm visualizing and thinking. I can see myself looking and feeling better. Woo hoo to be free of back, knee, and hip pain!! talk about a reason to throw a par-tay!
