new doc

Jun 02, 2009

Well, I've found another doctor that I'm very happy with.  It's Dr Ihde and so far I'm impressed.  He's also taking care of the hemorrhoid removal by banding so that I don't have to have surgery, NO PAIN and no lost time from work.  It's wonderful! I would recommend it/him to anyone with hemorrhoids.

As of 1 week ago today the request for pre-authorization was submitted to the insurance company.  I spoke with them yesterday and they said it could take 14-21 days for this to get in the system.  I'm still paitently waiting.  I think the waiting could kill a person.  I am so ready to get this done and move on to the next stage of my life.

I've recently started talking to someone from Eharmony and I'm very reluctant about it.  I'm going to be going through a lot of changes over the next year and may wind up having to find the 'new' me this time.  I don't know if it's really fair to involve a man in that. Plus, I don't know what I'm going to be looking for in a years time.  I'm not going to look for anything but I guess I won't shut the door on the possibility either.  I've been doing that for 10 years and it's time to stop.

I really feel like we're getting very close to surgery.  It's kind of funny because this is the first time I've felt like this...even when I was sure I would be having the surgery in April I didn't feel it like I do now.  I'll be attending my 2nd support group meeting this evening and while it's somewhat interesting it's also long and more than a little boring.  At least I'm only required to attend 2 but the opportunity will still be there if I need to avail myself of it.

I've really seen a lot of support from mom recently that has kind of surprised me.  She was very reluctant about the subject when it first came up so I thought that negativity would continue.  She's probably showing the most support of all and she'll probably never know just how much that really means to me.  She's going to come stay for a couple of days after the surgery so she can help me out and that's going to be very important.  Work is being great also! They're going to send a laptop home with me so that I can try to get some work done from home while I'm off.  I hope they realize the first week is vacation and the worst of the recovery period so I don't plan on doing anything during that time. :) I don't mind doing what I can the 2nd week since I'll be paid for time I don't actually have on the books.

Please God! Let this happen soon!
