Surgery Postponed :o(

Dec 24, 2009

 Ok I am in emotional hell here. I am not sure how much more bullshit I can take. Ok here goes. My husband was laid off of work right after thanksgiving on November 30th. His boss ACTED like he felt so bad about and told him that he would keep him active into December so that he would be able to keep insurance through the holidays so I could have my surgery. He also told him that he would be getting all his PTO and a still be getting his Christmas Bonus. Right. So to make a long story short, I am in the middle of all my preop testing and what happens. He gets taken off of Inactive status and we lose insurance. NO SURGERY. I was devastated. Completely. I don't have to remind any of you all how desperate one feels when you know that you have done all that you can do to lose weight and nothing works. I am completely lost in a world of emotions. So what happens next? He does not get his bonus. What does that mean? No Christmas. I am okay with that to a degree, I have 3 granddaughters and well you can imagine. I am just done people. I did get some good news today though. They are offering us COBRA that is somewhat managable. I won't be able to afford it until the unemployment kicks in which could be 6 weeks and that may be too late because the deadline for the COBRA is Feb of next year. So I am hoping and praying things work out. I know they will, but I am just really down and out. We have never had it this bad and I am not sure how to deal with it all. The good news is that my surgeons office assured me that there will be no problem once I have COBRA as I am already approved for the surgery, just didn't have coverage. Sigh. Of all times for this to happen. NOW. This too shall pass.
