Waiting, waiting and more waiting....

I know it's only been one week since my packet went in for insurance approval, and I'm pretty sure it will pass muster anyhow, but it just seems that time is now moving at a slower pace. I've been looking at my monthly planner and speculating how much time I'll have from approval to surgery, thinking about time off and how much PTO I'll use (probably every hour in my bank), and even "what will my diet be like at the holidays"...... Nevertheless, there's nothing I can do to hasten time, so I wait. Never have been the patient one (pun).....

Jeff You are right it is out of your hands right now. I know this is the hardest part of our journey. I had my surgery last Nov 8 and managed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years just fine. I was on the shrimp kick for Christmas and New Years and that helped me. Dan

DAN..........someone snuck their pic in there where yours goes........... oh my can't wait to see you...........looks like you been kicking butt..........with weight loss........how is your back doing?

10 days after my surgery was my birthday along with this fancy dinner from eds work.......bless their hearts they even brough me out a birthday cake....LMAO.........then in oct i have a bon fire party and all those wonderful foods....i still cooked thanksgiving and christmas dinners....i guess when you are they new it just does not bother you as much as you would think it does............ You will do just fine and hope you hear something real quick...............

I LOVE the holidays now and so do my kids.. I eat my cup of food.. (actually to quick) and then go play with the kids who are NOT interested in eatting and let the others eat in peace without me lookijng at them. Linda
