The surgeon’s office FINALLY got all their shit together and is submitting my case to the insurance company for approval. It should take about 30 days to hear back on whether or not it’s approved.
I’m so ready to be done with this, already. By the time I have the surgery, it will have been A […]

* Today is Maddie’s appointment with the pediatric opthamologist. I still think it’s entirely moot and will be 2.5 hours of sheer hell for all parties involved.
* Tomorrow is my last doctor’s appt for my WLS pre-certification requirement. I dreamt last night that I had the surgery and died on the operating table.
* I have […]

I had my fifth visit with my doctor on Monday. That means I only have one month to go before I can be approved for the bypass. I asked the insurance coordinator how long that process takes and she says it’s typically a month. That means I could realistically be having the surgery right around […]

Sadie is home from the vet’s office. (She had surgery on Wednesday.) She’s hopping along and seems to be feeling all right. We go back to the vet in two weeks to have her stitches removed. The vet says she ought to be feeling pretty good in a month or so. Fingers crossed.
I got a […]

I bought Easter candy. I knew I shouldn’t do it, but I had all sorts of justifications in my head. It’s only once a year! You can’t get Cadbury Creme Eggs ANY OTHER TIME OF YEAR! If I don’t eat it now, I’ll have to wait A WHOLE YEAR to have it! A YEAR!
So, I […]

Um, have you seen this? All I can think of to say about it is: WTF?
Speaking of crazy, I had the first part of my psych eval yesterday. It wasn’t nearly as glamorous as you might think. First of all, I got there at the appointed time and walked into an empty waiting room. There […]

My appt for the psych eval was canceled due to bad weather. The shrink wasn’t able to make it out of her neighborhood and I didn’t want to make the hour-long drive with the crazies. So, we decided to reschedule for Wednesday.
She told me more about the appointment when we had the rescheduling conversation. Apparently, […]

I’ve completed three months of my six month pre-surgery requirements. I have a psych evaluation scheduled for tomorrow morning that requires me to drive a very long way in Dallas rush-hour traffic. To say I’m not please about this would be an understatement. However, it seems like a small price to pay in the long […]
