The Seminar

Nov 12, 2009

So October 1st came and my husband Chris and I went to the seminar at the Frank Jones Center. I was excited and nervous to go but once I got there I realized it was just more of an informational thing and then I became anxious because I wanted to sit and talk with the doc :)  I had my application already typed up printed with a copy of my insurnace card there and I turned it in to Gail that night. I know it sounds a little obsessive but I am just a very organized "lets do this" kind of person. I went home that night thinking to myself this is SO what I want. The next day my husband and I talked with my 3 teens and got feed back from them. I tried to answer all their questions and alieviate any of the anxiety they were feeling. I had in my mind that my son (Jake age 18) would be like  "mom what the heck do you need to do that for?" and I thought my oldest daughter (Kristina age 18) would be "well good mom as long as your safe I support you" and I thought I would get from my youngest daughter (Danica age 16) "MOM thats a great idea!"......    after the talk .....from Kristina I got exactly what I thought (I know her sooo well LOL) however from the other two I got the opposite...Jake was like "mom I think thats a good idea and if it is going to keep you healthy and happy I am all for it" from Danica I got "WHY mom its too dangerous you are beautiful just the way you are" I had to take a step back and remember that she was my baby and she was scared at the risks I was taking. So I spent some time educating her and now that it has been a while I think she is more comfortable that she understands the procedure and how badly I want this and I have agreed to let her be my nurse :)
