Appoved, and on the accelerated track
Nov 05, 2010
I got the call today about being approved! YAY... So excited. But, I got into a car accident 3 days ago, (not too bad, they have more damage then me, and its 100% their fault). But, I have a bad back from an old horse injury accident. This tweaked my back more then I thought it would. I told the nurse about it, and how I cant go to the gym anymore due to the pain. I have lost 5 lbs in the last week or so... I thought for sure I would have to postpone the surgery which I was supposed to have on the 2nd of December. But, she got it cleared with the doctor, I am okay in losing what I have (I don't have to lose the full 20 now) and in fact, they want me in for the 18th of November! Thats 2 freakin weeks! OMG. So, I took it. I am going in on the 16th for all my prelab work, my 2nd surgical appointment, and then I am cleared to go. I cant believe it, I still don't. I am more scared then I thought I would be. Scared of having it, of not having it! There are alot of positives and negatives about this date.Good:
The kids are out of school the next week for Thanksgiving, so I don't have to worry about getting them to and from school. And they can help me around the house the first week out.
The doctor is being way generous with me.
I don't think I have to worry about school too much for me now. I take one day off, and the next week I get off anyway due to the holiday. I can be back to school the first week of December.
Bad:
My husband will have to take off of work 2 days to help me. Which means a smaller check on top of the ALREADY smaller check he gets the week of Thanksgiving when they have 3 days off.
I am not ready. Money is going to be tight, and I have to order all my vitamins prior to the surgery while trying to pay bills and save for next months bills and rent.
*sigh, I know it will all work out. And reading stories on here about all the struggles that some go through, or are going through, I should be more grateful, appreciative I know! I just am freaking out.
