Hesitation at the end....oh my.

[Crosby 303]

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!

@@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.
