I got a date!

Feb 27, 2009

Becki and I staggered our applications to OHIP. As I have enough comorbidities to qualify in a heartbeat (now that the forms have been filled out properly) I went ahead and sent my 2nd appplication off  for approval. Becki was waiting on some test results and sent hers off about  10 days later. Though she had doubts, I was sure she'd be approved.i recieved my appproval in about 10 working days. A week later, the Barix Clinic called to set up a surgery date. I postponed so that Becki's Approval  would get back and we'd book  together. It was a 3 week wait and I was getting frustrated watching my surgery date options move farther away. At last it arrived and I made all the calls to be able to coordinate the surgery dates only to find out that Becki would have to wait til sometime in June. Her baby adoption came through finally but coincides with the surgery time.We discussed it and i'm going ahead with April 20th.

It seemed like a long process to et there but this surgery is becoming a reality at long last. Its hard to fathom that this time next year, I  could be down at least 100 lbs. It still seems like a foggy futuristic prospect. Every so often i get a chill of excitement but theres also a sadness that I am  doing it alone when Becki and I planned to do it together for so long. Yes, I still want it and i supppose I can help Becki through hers as i will have  a couple of months on her.
