Waiting; it's not just a movie about waiters

Aug 31, 2010

It looks like I am waiting. I talked to my boss yesterday and they said it would be best if I had my surgery around January of this coming year. I asked them as a courtesy as to see when I could take time off so I could have surgery yet I did not expect a 4-5 month wait. I am a little pissed about it but I did open that can and I guess I should not be too made because I didn't get any cherries in my fruit cup.

I don't want to push the subject either because last year I was out for 3 months recovering from a motorcycle accident and I feel badly enough about it. As in most cases there are pro's and con's to this.  Waiting, well I am just not a good waiter and not in the aspect of spilling your breakfast platter on you but I am just so damn impatient. It's just more months of feeling like shit. Walking up a simple flight of stairs in a semi brisk fashion will leave me catching my breath and wishing I had a rascal. Fitting into my clothes or lack there of. Getting bigger and wondering if I should buy bigger or nit a burlap sack together and call it good.

I have a few pros though (remember lack of patience here.)  I will make my work happy and I do enjoy working here and I want to make life there as easy as possible because they are good to me and I respect them. The biggest pro and the one that makes me try to swallow a big gulp of patience is the fact that with my insurance and yearly out of pocket maximum, with surgey in January, all my health care will be covered without a dime out of my pocket for the remainder of the year. So any complications and follow up should be covered.

So while I can't see the whole picture about waiting now, I see a bit of it and I suppose what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Or so they say.....who are they???
