I really need some extra prayers....Road blocks keep popping up
I have the money for my surgery....10,000. The rest is about 3,000 and the 250 that was mentioned the other night about dumping the extra stomach for tests....
Tomorrow is my pre-op tests but I can't go because 1. My new insurance hasn't kicked in but should cover the tests part, it should start any day..., but also # 2. My daughter is beginning to go into labor this evening and I will get to care for the 2 grandkids. She is 3 weeks early, but they think it will all be fine. It's not false labor....they have confirmed that. So I have to reschedule all my stuff.....I have to have a stress test before I can do the tests that the new insurance should cover and get the cpap too....Which would make me feel better I'm sure...I can't do any of that until the insurance starts.. and now I have had chest pains for 3 days now..I am fearful that I won't even make it to the surgery..Great!! Stupid fears filling my brain!!
I have 3 stents and don't want 4. Fear is doing goofy things right now....I'm trying to lose the preop lbs and mad because I carry a keg...I have to lose 22 lbs. That is 1/4 of what I want to lose total!! I had a friend that was 350 and he only had to loose 8 lbs!!!!!!!! How do they decide how much you have to lose for preop???
Ok, Im having a hormone crisis, I suppose or blood sugar ups and downs....It just seems like road block after road block! I won't give up, but could you pray that God starts to open a few windows before I flip out here....I know there is no real hurry.....but these fears are making me desperate! Wow what a rant...Just pray that I don't go crazy here before I get to take my place on the bench! Please.....I promise not to rant anymore......maybe...Sherry One more thing....I am getting dentures after the weight loss to protect my health further....Well a tooth broke off yesterday and I look like a hick or bumpkin.....I have to figure out how to fit that into my budget too! i almost have to laugh....I may super glue the thing on for now!! ....What a mess..I can't pay for a cap then turn around and pull all my teeth....Oh just pray general, that should cover everything!! I''m having a pity party and no one came so....lol I'm hanging on though!
Please know that I'm thinking about you and will include you in my prayers tonight. I think you've got so many things on your plate that maybe you're not able to focus. Don't flip out on us, just get bac to basics.
Get thyself on a diet. Get militant about it.
Get to your benefits co-ordinator and ***** to high heaven.
Get focused on the important things, make a list that puts things back into perspective.
And trust that people are thinking and praying about you and your situation.
You're a terrific person that we all think a lot of, so hold your head high with confidence and overcome these issues with determination instead of panic.

I am so sorry for everything that you're going through. Man, do you have a full plate! But Thomas gave you great advice. Try to break it down and deal with one thing at a time. Don't worry about the tooth - your surgery is more important right now. Get your insurance situation settled first. With better health, all things look brighter.
Look at this angle - you're getting a beautiful new grandchild. That is pretty special!
But don't mess around with the chest pains. Maybe it's just some acid and maybe not. If you think it's getting serious, go to the ER. They can't turn you away.
Please know that we will all be thinking about you and praying that you get some positive news. Hang in there - we all need you!
Sherry, I am praying for you and your situation. I'm praying for a healthy new grandbaby for you...what a blessing...new life!!! God is good and He will not close one door without opening another. He already knows what you need even before you ask. Sometimes it's hard to understand why there are all these roadblocks but there is a reason. Take care of yourself and all will work out. You know that God is not the author or Fear....let your Faith kick in and know that He is in control. Debbie
Sherry, I am so sorry you are going through this. I know my road blocks are not nearly as much as what you have but when I was in the middle of it all I started having chest pain, hence the stress test and heart cath. Turns out stress and anxiety will also give that some type pain in the chest. I hope and pray that is all it is for you too. I'm praying for you this morning. -Amy

Sherry, hang in there. You have probably seen all the "road blocks" that a lot of these dear people have experienced on this journey. The wonderful news is that God does bring you through them. He has a plan. The temporary set-backs may just be His way of making sure the timing is perfect for you. Keep your eyes pealed for that open window! Praying for you. ~w

When I'm feeling wayyyy overwhelmed, I pick on thing I can do now, do it, and that usually calms me down. Seems like the universe is saying not right now-which is not the same as saying NO. One of the things I'm learning about is that I can't control the timing of everything, I just stay on course and eventually get there.
