I'm kind of becoming obsessed

Any free time that I have now is spent looking up info on surgeons, hospitals, prices, or posts written by patients. Last night I was up until 2am.

When I finally went to sleep I dreamt that I was making an appointment for my surgery in Mexico over the phone... IN SPANISH. LOL!! Mind you I do not speak Spanish. I took it in high school. I can probably speak like a 1 year old in Spanish. Omg I woke up laughing at myself. I either need to just schedule an appointment or take a break from researching. ;-)

I've been lurking for some time, this is my first post. Happy Hump Day!!

Welcome Karla!

lol...it is hilarious that you were talking in Spanish.

I, too, get so caught in research that it literally takes over my brain. And I've been doing this for over a year!

It's going to be a fun ride! ????

When first starting out, it's kind of overwhelming it's so hard to know where to begin. I did not have a clue. I spent many a late nights trying to find out things. I had assumed I would be self pay for so long. It's amazing how many choices there are out there now.

my Español is at best kindergarten level.

Now that I think about it Helena my Spanish is probably at a kindergarten level too.

I was the exact same way ! Now that I'm post op thankfully it's easier to keep under control. Too busy trying to get in liquids and Protein and balance recovery with getting back to real life.
