Well the insurance company just called me and the surgery has been authorized.  Yahoo---yippe---woohoo, It sure took them long enough, even at 1:30pm they told me I would know by Tuesday.  Glad they called me back too after sending the info to the doc...Crystal is out sick so I totally wouldn't have known until next week had they not called.

I am so pumped I bet I could do the 3 mile walk with 5 pound balls lol.  Okay who am I kidding---I'm a puffer after 2 miles with only 1 pound weights. I bet that means that Monday or Tuesday I will get a date!   What a long process.  Thank you guys for being so supportive and always answering all my questions---I know I had a lot.  Make some room on that bench..... Lisa how long does your insurance supposedly take?

We built an in-law apt above our garage and my mom is living there.  It's an attached garage so she just comnes across the sunporch ad she's here.  It has been a HUGE help!  And I am sure she likes it better than living alone like she was.  My husband works until 1:30pm and my mom starts work at 2pm.  So someone will always be here to help.  When I have the surgery though my husband is going to take several nights off from work.  He doesn't think he can do the night shift (which just involves going in to reinsert pacifiers or rub backs a few times a night) and wake up at 4am for work.  It is funny how I have doen it for nearly 10 months now though ha ha.  I work from a home office too so it will be easier for me to get all my water and meals done.   It takes 2 peopl sometimes to take care of these babies (especially going out to the store or something)---I mean what do you do...lug one out  put them in the carseat (while the other is unsupervised chewing on cords in the house), go back in leaving one baby outside in the car all by themself to get the other.  Needless to say I haven't got out much this winter. My aunt is going to come help and I have a few friends too.  Good thing I can still play with them---just no lifting.  I would have serious withdrawal!

hey tanya,

i was thinking of you all the way home today. i must have sensed good news. i'm so psyched for you. after i got home i called the office to see if my paperwork had been submitted and kim told me cyrstal has been sick since wednesday so my paperwork won't be submitted until at least monday. i'll call again monday. my insurance is supposed to have results within 72 hours. there is still hope but i'm bummed i'm still on the back burner. worse case senario i'll be a week behind you. no biggie but i would still love to be roomies. i'd love to see your babies come and visit you!

You still never know :)  Even if we aren't roomies and are a week apart we can always visit you. You're staying at the arbour house right?  I have no idea how you feel after surgery, but I am sure towards the end of the week you start to feel much better and are able to be out and about....I have no idea though.
