First appointment w/ Social Worker Friday

wickedme · August 5, 2008

:biggrin:I got a call this morning, they had a cancellation and asked if I could come in Friday afternoon to meet with the social worker... sooo excited, hope she didn't think I was a flake, I think I let a crazy giggle out!!! I went to the seminar June 18th, it took 7 weeks..wow Sad thing, I don't feel like I had anyone to tell that would be really happy for me or that would understand the significance of this but all of you!! I was going to their offices that day anyway to attend a support group, now I can do both... Do they tell you their recomendation right away?? or do I have to wait?? I really feel like I am ready for this now, where a month ago I was still contemplating. I have had such a parade of emotions lately about what I want from all of this, and it comes down to wanting to be healthy and being part of the world again.

My husband hasn't said anything negetive lately, but when I mention anything he doesn't respond. I know he is worried, and has done his share of taking care of me through hysterectomy and a broken leg, but I do everything 95% of the time except go to work for him. I think part of him is wondering where it will take us. We have had a really rocky road for the past few years, mostly because of his daughter, but also because I dream of better, and he can't or won't... hes stuck in his own fears.

Anyways... so excited and so glad this website is here for me to share!

yeah!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: I dont really know what you mean by social worker? Is this you psyc. Apt? Well whatever it is I know its a step in the right direction :thumbup: I had to do the 6 month diet before I could submit to my ins. And it was the hardest 6 months of my life. My dad passed away suddenly at only 44 and They found cervical cancer when I went for a pap. But I made it and I was approved and got the surgery. Its the best thing just to see the scale move in the right direction. Dont worry about your husband they are always worried at first for many reasons. But he will come around he has to :lol:

Yes, it is the same as the psych eval.. and thanks! I was getting discouraged and needed this boost!!

I am worried about having to have my gall bladder out.. I heard through another patient that they won't take it out during surgery if it is infected, but do if it just has problems.. would hate to have to have two seperate surgeries in such a short time...

I am glad for you that they found your cervical issues now,, I had a total hysterectomy and decided to have my cervix out, doc wasn't sure it was a good idea.. they found pre cancer cells during the biopsy.. glad I followed my gut!!

:thumbup: thanks... well they didnt take my gal bladder out either they said its fine.. My family was upset about that because mom had to have emergency surgery to get hers out she almost died and 1 week after my surgery my brother who is 26 only 1 yr older than me had emergency surgery to have his out. So they thought I should just have mine out now. But all is good right now :thumbup: You will love the band we all wake up and think what did I do ... but trust me once your healed you will love love it :lol:
