Morning of mishaps & a happy dance

  • Popular Post

Last Monday I had my final dietician appointment & my paperwork was submitted for insurance approval. I was told it would be 2 weeks before I knew anything.
So, I wake up this morning in terrible pain with my back completely locked up. I have no choice but to call in to work. I end up leaving a voicemail so I’m waiting for my boss to call me back. That’s when I noticed the accident my pup had on the floor (stupid bladder cancer ?). I’m trying to gently get down on the floor but my slippers end up forcing me into a very awkward version of the splits. (ouch!) Now I’ve got my hand full of tinkle-soaked paper towel, while doing the splits, when my phone rings. I don’t recognize the number but it’s 7:30am so it has to be my boss. I answer & it’s not my boss, it’s the surgeon’s office. The lady says very blasé “I’m calling to let you know your surgery has been approved, congrats.” I proceed to internally freak out & start doing a happy dance, or I guess I should say happy wiggle since I’m still doing the splits. ?
I try to remain calm & take in everything she’s saying since I can’t take notes because I’m still holding tinkle-soaked paper towel! I finally get off the phone, ungracefully remove myself from the floor, WASH MY HANDS, then I do a proper happy dance all over the house!!! (to the extent my back will allow, anyway)
This was my very long way of saying I’VE BEEN APPROVED, Y’ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I hope I get a similar kind of call in about 5 months. Haha. Well, minus the pee and the splits. ?

Congrats! Keep doing your Hoosier Happy Dance, it's a lot of work & stressing to get to this point. My happy dance was sorta robbed by Covid19 like many others, but I finally have my date & am on day 5 of my 10 day liver shrinking diet!

Thanks, @mattk53! I'm so excited & nervous! I can only hope to be as successful as you!

@mil_unloaded? I'll have my fingers crossed for you!

@GreenTealael Thanks! I hope my results rock like yours! I know I've got to get my mind in the right place immediately so that's what I'm focusing on.

@HcatOh wow, the days are ticking down now! Surgery day will be here before you know it! I'm sorry about your delay, the world is so wild at the moment. Maybe soon we'll both be doing our Goal Weight Hoosier Happy Dance!!! ?
