I bought four six-packs of isopure at a salvage store in our area today. I paid a grand total of $7.50 for everything. What a steal!

Christen, the nurse from Anthem, called me and said my surgery had been denied, but not to "wig-out" or anything. She said Dr. Pinson needed to do a peer to peer and everything should be fine. She said I should have surgery on Feb. 14 as planned.

My four year old opened EVERY single present under our tree this morning, today was the last day of school until Jan. 9 and my steroids have played out. Lord help me to have a hair left on my head by the time this is all over!

Hi favoredone. Just checking in on you sweetie. Hope you are coming along well. Big(((hugs))) and congrats. Hope to be there with you soon :0)

I baked four dozen cookies for school teachers today and ended up eating three of them myself. Bad mama! I sure did do a good job though..lol. :0)

Bought all the supplies for our Veggie Tales "8 Polish Christmas Dishes" party with my son's multi-needs handicapped class on Friday. We are going to have a blast with them :0)

Double dose prednisone + me= one happy, pain-free Mama :0)

WatcIng "The 12 Dates of Christmas," on ABC Family. Romantic..ahhh:0)

The Hubby and I went to the country auction tonight. I LOVE IT! ya just never know what you will leave with. Especially if you are me. Tonight I almost come home with an extra child. Sad, but true. We live in the Podunk South.

Ugh...we all have the crud. It is awful. Half the people we know are sick. It seems to get worse every year. :0/

You have the most beautiful face and sweetest smile. I am so proud for you to be on the road to a healthier life, but let me tell you something. If you are doing this to make you beautiful, you don't have to. You have a light that shines from within that makes you absolutely luminous!

Ok ladies and gents. I need you to send some requests up for me. My insurance coordinator is sending my new medical info to the insurance today. I need an approval letter. I have already missed one surgery date.

I had the most awesome day today; delivering all of that family's stuff, spending the afternoon with my son's multi-needs handicap class and playing with a guinea pig (I'm a big kid). After my shots yesterday and my steroid pills today, I have just been ecstatic. Haven't had even the slightest twinge of pain. That is a utter miracle for me!

Had a Dr.s appointment and was expecting a weight gain after all the holiday eating, but the scale showed me down 3 lbs from my last visit. Happy!

My Hubby bought me a Gold's Gym elliptical trainer at the flea market Saturday for $50! Now if I can just get over this fibro

I got a letter from my insurance company requesting "additional information" on my condition to determine "if your plan covers the requested services." this is a bunch of baloney! They know my plan covers it and that I qualify. They just don't want to pay up.

So, this morning my oldest son (autistic) pick up my bra, puts it over his eyes and says, " Mom, this is kinda like 3D glasses." I just laughed and said, "it three D alright (DDD)." Lol, never know what we will say :0)

I am addicted to you people! I just can't stay away. I want my sleeve * turning green* :0P

I was telling my husband's sisters and mother about you the other day because your starting size was the same as I am. My MIL looked me up and down and said, "you will never be a size 8." I just chuckled and said probably not (admittedly I am large boned and did look thin in a 16). But after I got to thinking about it, I got hot. I think I would ride an elliptical to hell and back just to prove her wrong. Maybe I need to put that on my bucket list..lol. Come on Feb.!

Surgery date moved from Dec. 6 to Feb. 14, 2012. Good luck December sleevers!

I'm really just feeling like breaking down and crying. I just kind of have this pit in my stomach that things are not going to work out. I'm still waiting!

Aggghhhh!! Please give me an answer!

I'm slipping into a funk. My nerves are bad enough already, I don't need them jerking me around over this approval. Just tell me yes or no so I can get on with my life. I have probably developed another co-morbidity or two just from the stress. I need this surgery. I want a better life!

Still waiting. My nerves are on edge. They need to hurry up. I don't know any reason why they would, but it the deny me I'm gonna freak. If I have it done before the end of the year, I don't have to pay for it. I hope they wouldn't deny me just so I would have to pay them more. AGGGHHH!!!! I'm going nuts!
