Met with the anethesiologist and she was awesome.  She said I was good to go for surgery and had Connie fax over her report to my insurance companies doctor so they can make their final decision.  I should hear something sometime this week or next.

Got word today that I have to have a consult with the anetheologist.  I have to have approval from this doc before they can approve the surgery.   Another trip to Seattle, ojoy.  I hope that this doc will be onboard with the other docs.  I haven't had any problems from waking up from previous surgeries before, so I don't see any problems with another one.  I just don't want this one to say no, if they say no, I don't get surgery.  I have come to damn far for this doc to say no.  this would devastate me. I can't think this way.

I started a walking program yesterday.  I am doing a dvd in home and walking .25 miles yesterday and today.  It hurts my right hip, but I am working through it.  Small steps, and as weight comes off, I will go further.  I have a cylcler that I am doing when I am on the couch.  Joy joy.
