Tentative surgery date set and in good spirits.

Yet another date, this time for March 14th. I am feeling really good about it. They asked for a few additional papers to be signed and it wasn't a denial without much review. My doctors office manager has been wonderful and kept me up to date. She feels the approval will come this next week.

I have to be honest. I am glad it didn't happen in December. I don't think I was ready. I am still not pleased with the reasoning but I had gotten really sick the week before. Something somewhere knew that it wasn't the time. I've done a lot of research since and feel even more in the know about what I need to do physically and mentally. I believe things happen for a reason so I am at peace with it.

I am starting the prep Monday with a VLC diet.
