Guess things have changed at Duke...

Mar 22, 2011

I received a letter from BCBSNC regarding approval for my psych/mental health appointments at Duke.  Not sure they will cover all of it just based on past history.  It was nice to know things have already been submitted to BCBSNC.  It's hard to believe my first appointment is fast approaching.  I remember all my partner went through getting approved and so on when she began her journey in 2008.  She told me it took her 9 months from first appointment to surgery.  I could not remember but I do remember how hard it was to speak with anyone at Duke.  My journey so far seems to be vastly different than hers, from a financial and communication standpoint.  I definitely look forward to this continuing on such a different course than she had to experience.   
I cannot say I am excited yet...  I am not sure I will be excited until I am down at least 40-50 lbs.  I am only impatient at this point but even that isn't too bad.  Actually I think I am kind of in a fog.  I am now into my 3rd month or so with no anti-depressant  of any sort.  I am still learning to handle life and experience life differently.  Mindfulness helps and I think it will totally benefit me with this whole process.  Oh the changes and possibilities....  Life is good even when it's blah...
