The beginning story

Dec 29, 2008

October 1st, 2008:  I finally got my approval!  I got an email from the HR person I have been working with, and she was able to get United Healthcare to approve my request.


December 4th, 2008:  Surgery was 4 days ago.  I came home last night, and for the most part, I feel OK.  I'm still pretty tender when I stand up, and a little foggy from the pain meds, but each day is getting better.  The staff at Middlesex was phenomenal.  I don't have a lot of personal experience with hospitals, but I have been witness to some less than great care.  Not the case at all here.  From the woman who checked me in and got me registered, to all the nurses and techs, everyone was great.  I'm looking forward to my new life and hte adventures it will bring!

December 18th, 2008:  I had my two week checkup yesterday with Dr. Aranow.  Things are going very well.  I feel great, I'm down almost thirty pounds since surgery, and I'm off the liquid diet!  He cleared me to return to work on Monday.  It was so nice to eat semi real food yesterday.  I had a scrambled egg for lunch, and a little shredded chicken for dinner.
