Step 1, DONE!

Jul 19, 2010

Finally got around to going to a "first" meeting for OSF SFMC tonight.  This will definitely be the hospital that I have my surgery with.  As it turns out, the surgeons don't require the year waiting period like they do over at MMCI, so I'm ecstatic.  And, after talking with them and the staff, they said (but we'll see, right?) that they're going to do their best to work with me and my insurance to get me scheduled for Christmas so I can be as recovered as possible for my second semester in RN school.

It hit me as I was driving home.  In a year from now, not only will my son be close to 2 years old, but I could be 50, 75, maybe even 100 pounds lighter than I am today.  I could have my life back.  I could take my son to the park and REALLY play with him.  Not work up a sweat sitting in the sun, just watching.  I could be pushing him on the swing, chasing after him, going down the slide with him and have my hips actually fit!

I really hope this works out!
