So, a few things have changes. My mom's surgery got moved until September 6. So mine has swung from earlier to later. I really felt uncomfortable having my surgery before hers. Hers is way more important in the long run. So my date is September 25th with Dr. Carroll. I met with him this past wednesday. I am really impressed with his ability. He explained a lot about what to expect during the surgery and how he has improved his technique. I am self pay so I going with Captial One and only 7.9% interest rate. I am very very impressed with that. So now I wait. But its funny, I am feeling patient.

My mom found out Wednesday she has a cancer tumor on her kidney and will be having surgery on August 21st. So I don't need to have the surgery before then. I am looking at having the surgery in September. Really depends on how well she does in recovering. I completed my psych eval and PCP visits this week. I am glad to have those over with. So right now I am praying for my mom and patience in my own procedure.

So I made my appointment with the psych eval today and I change my appointment with my PCP. I changed because I know I need to save my leave from work. I am 'intrigued' to say the least about my Psych evaluation because I have been a counselor for ten years so I am really interested in being on the other side of the couch.

hehe! I decided to look at other doctors because I simply did not want to wait till Aug 13. So I called several clinics. I think I have decided to go with CMMC in Jackson. I do like them but I am not crazy with the lack of phone contact. I spoke with Adam and he help me out with that. So he emailed me some forms. I dropped one form at my PCP's office and on Monday I will call to schedule a psych exam. I have an appt with my PCP next Tuesday. Not a big deal since I had a physical about a month ago so all the testing can be used for that. So finally some action!!

I really am trying to be patient.  I don't really like it and I don't thing I am good at it at all.  BUT... The question is Do I have a choice?  yes and no.  I could call other doctors and inquire as to how long their wait is and price?  But then I would be driving a lot more further so I don't .  I did call the Doctors office yesterday and requested they put me on the waiting list to be seen sooner if someone cancels.  But what's the likely hood of someone canceling and then me having the availability to go.  So here I am waiting for August 13th.  Sheesh!!    hehe!!

I will write more about my journey to this decision and such latter.  But right now I want August to hurry up!!
