It's been 2 days. Awaiting discharge from the hospital. I have had no nausea no vomiting. Pain has been real at times excruciating. Managed by dilaudid and toridal. I have been able to drink fluids and walk no problem. Looking forward to what the future holds!

I had received paperwork from my insurance company that said 11/11... Due to my surgeons schedule changing I've been pushed back to Dec 1st. And at that I'm excited. It's after thanksgiving and before Christmas. I'll be travelling some ways south to my mothers for Christmas so it will be a good surprise. I haven't shared this journey outside of 2 friends my partner and sun. I'm extremely private, not ashamed, just private. If anyone asks I may share.
My Nutrition class is Nov 18th and I'll close this year with Surgery in December, Excited for 2017. Truly beginning a new chapter!

Tentative Date 11/11

So I have a tentative date: over the weekend I received a letter from the insurance company (Aetna). they were requesting more information... I called my insurance coordinator and she assured me that everything was submitted accurately and that leader is always generated when the insurance company logs the case in. The date was listed on the notification. So technically I haven't been approved yet... But, by the end of the week I should be hearing back from my Doctor's office. To top all that off - I bumped into my surgeon while getting lunch! Must be a good omen!

The dates been changed to Dec 16th... It has to do with my surgeons schedule! I'm ok with that. So before 2016 closes at 35 I will be on my way to a new ME. I'm in a wedding - and we tried on dresses and everything had me looking like a beached wale (in bright colors). I don't think i truly realized just how big I look. It forces me to do an emotional and physical inventory and to really think about my goals for my life. It's all positive. Progressive Movement & Thought!
