I finally finished 7 months of requirements but just can't get motivated to send in paperwork the office needs.

Reasons.....not sure of priority:

1. Just had hip replacement last month and I really just find the idea of another surgery utterly exhausting. ( still on crutches and limited.)

2. Mother in law came to stay with us in July after a fall. She is waiting on an apartment to come open and I thought she would be gone by now. She is a prejudice, self righteous, religious zealot, who knows everything and does everything perfect. No way do I want her to know anything about the surgery. ( I am already hearing how so and so healed quicker from the hip surgery than i have.)

3. Nervousness about negative consequences of the surgery. This is actually minimal but it is there.

4. Last weigh ins were right before and 3 weeks after surgery and I gained 4 pounds although overall I lost 18. Worried about insurance denying me even though my doc was going to explain about me being immobile, swollen etc.

Just typing this I realize # 2 bothers me the worse.

Anyone capable of giving me a big swift kick in the butt!

Consider my post just that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@Crosby, I think you're already doing what you need to do, which is take a step back and think about why you're hesitating at this stage. I completely understand both #1 and #2, and can see why they would make it hard for you to sign up for this right now. I suggest putting one foot in front of the other. The whole situation will take care of itself if you just take it one step at a time. You won't be able to go in for surgery TOMORROW, so it doesn't matter that you're not yet ready TODAY. Just keep moving and it'll be there when you're ready.

Thanks ..I finally made the calls yesterday to get the last few things taken care of.
