Hi Jodi, you havent been around in a while.  we miss you!!!

Hey Ryan,

Way to Go.  I commend your dedication.  I remember people saying, just go for a walk or something so you wont eat,  I wanted to slap them LOL!!  Its so hard, I know.

I forgot, how long has it been since your paperwork was submitted to insurance?  The approval is pretty quick usually.  Its the time it takes for the doc to review your chart and then get it to the schedulers.  arrrggggghhhh. 

Hang in there, we are right there beside you!!!

The time will go by quickly.  You may want to take this extra time to find a hobby that you like to do. 

I have cut back on the amount of time I spend in the kitchen.  I love to cook, but find it hard to experiment and cook alot since my surgery.  I have taken up jewelry making and crocheting.  My son now has scarves in about every color, and I have more jewelry than anyone should have.  It keeps me busy so that head hunger doesn't get me.
