Hey girl- what part of "You are required to do these forever" don't you understand? Don't you get that checking your latest update is an intrinsic part of my day? laugh.gif

That was what I have been mainly thinking until it turned to

Uh oh-are you ok? Are you passed out on the floor with a wine glass full of vicodin in your hand? ohmy.gif

Now I have to look and see when you last posted...

Oh dear oh dear oh dear...

oh wait...could it be, no it could not possibly be that you , say, have a life? blink.gif

OH my goodness that is not what I intended- I was joking! I adore Crosswinds daily updates and was merely expressing how sad I was not to find one- and it turns out I was right to worry about her. The vicodin in the wineglass, if you have been reading her updates you would understand what I was referring to!

I am sorry if I seemed offensive, I am mortified to have been interpreted in this way. I even mentioned my own presumptiveness in feeling she should put aside her own life to post for us.

No rudeness intended, truly. I have nothing but love for you all.

Oh, I totally thought you were funny...and spot on! I just found her daily updates a couple of days ago and went back through all the previous posts. She's incredible! She's an instant classic! She's NOT allowed to just leave us hanging while she gets an ear inception OR a life.

JK, crosswinds! Glad you're here and hope you're better SOON!!!

:). Okay I completely missed this post. THANK YOU Meggie for the compliment. It was nice to be missed. :). Not offended, glad somebody cares I'm alive.

Amber -- Meggie is an absolutely darling human and you should go to her vlog and see what an angel she is. She would never ever post with anything but the kindest of intentions.

But actually the reason I didnt post yesterday was because I was sick as hell. My head felt like an old salami.

:). Back now and LOVE you Megs.

I have no clue who anyone is and I thought it was supper funny!

Sorry! I read it a few times but kept seeing it as you saying she has no life. I was like "Dang, that's harsh."

:). Oh listen, chiquita, it's all jake. We'reall just a bunch of carb deprived maniacs without stomachs.

Yike. That sounds a bit ghoulish don't it?

As far as having a life, Meggie was most excellently wrong on that count. First couple weeks afer surgery as far as I can tell what you do is sit around thinking about what you can't eat. can't do and should not buy just because you're bored and cranky and also newly broke.

Thanks for sticking up for fair play and justice everywhere though. You may just be our ten thousandth maniac :)

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
