Allison called last night to see what was goping on. She had not heard from me in a while. I explained to her again,that I had appt to see regular doctor on Tuesday, Aug.7th. Docotr was going to rewrite letter explaining why it was medically necessary for me to lose weight fast. She was also going to put in letter about me having a 8 month superfvised diet. Hopefully that will work. As soon as I get letter,which probally won't be until the 8th or 9th, then I will turn it into Allison.

We are keeping everything crossed that Voc Rehab's doctor will approve the WLS this time.

I found out a few weeks ago that I was approved for disability through Social Security. Got my first check today. Wich was a relief. Was able to pay some very past due bills. Even though Social Security says I'm disable,that does not automactilly approve me for WLS. But there is still a little hope.

Went to my regular doctor back on the 10th of this month. Explained what was going on with Voc Rehab,and that I had started yet once again on Weight Watchers. My doctor is having me come back in August. At that time she will check my weight,and type yet another letter as to why I need WLS,why its medically necessary for me to loose weight fast,and so on. In my chart,it does show that from January of this year thru this last visit,the doctor did have me on a diet. She is also going to put that in the letter as well. So maybe they will accept it this time,and I be approved.

I don't mean to fuss, I also don't like being told no on something that will save my life. I know God has a reason fro this. And He will let me be approved when He is ready for me to be approved.

I am feeling some better today. It still stings though. I guess what hurts is that my family doesn't seem to think that it's ok for me to get angry and upset. SWome of them think it should not bother me to have this set back. But it does. How can I get across to them I am human and have feelings and emotions? Hope Allison will call today.

Allison called me yesterday morning to tell me I had been denied because I didn't have a 1 year medical supervised diet.

Didn't matter that I gace her dates and weight lossed on other diets and could have gotten proof,because it wasn't doctor supervised,it doesn't count. I was/am very upset. To make matters a little worse,she mad me an appt for today to see her,to see what she could do posiblly(sp) help pay for diet program. Well her assitance called me this morning a cancelled my appt. Allison was in meeting,didin't know when she would get out,plus,need more info from tallahassee to put in my file. She might not can get ahold of anybody today as this is a holiday week,and some people took off. Might be Monday.

I feel like somebody has just knock the crap out of me. When I get close,something happens and have to wait longer. I know there is a reason for this,and it's all in God's timing, but how much longer do I have to wait. I would love to be able to play with my son and make him proud of me not an embarrishment. Lord,please help!!

How much longer do I have to wait?! I still haven't heard anything from Voc Rehab. Last time I talke with Allison she said hopefully we wopuld hear something in couple of weeks. It has been a week sice I heard that. I know it hasn't been that long but it just seem like it's taking forever.

We are going to Don's aunt's house in Branford for the 4th. She is frying fish for lunch. We will be having a peanut boil that night. There is anywhere from 20-40 people that show up at her house every year. Will post more later.

Called Allison this morning. She stated that it was to early to know anything. I did expect that. But still wanted to check . But she did say that her superevisor had approved it,and it was on its way to Tallahassee for final approval by thew state doctor. Hopefuly,we will hear something in a couple ofd weeks.

...from counsellor aat VOc Rehab yesterday morning. Allison wanted to know if I got her message on Friday. Told her yes. She also wanted me to know that she sent it by overnight mail.

It shouldn't be too much longer before I hear somethig.

My counselor left a message for me yesterday afternoon. She sent my pre-approval letter and file off to Tallahassee for final approval. Hopefuly it won't be to long before I know something.

talked with allison on Tuesday,she has not wrote her pre-approval letter and sent in my filed for final approval. Talk about upset?!! She told me she had been very busy,actually swamped,also she had a couple conferences went to. But she had five files to do and mine was at the top of her list. SHe would try to do them this week. Needless to say,I will believe it when it happens.

My husband told me not to lose my temper,it wouldn't help,and to be nice. I understand Allison is busy, but it is just upseting when you think something has ben done,and you find out 2 weeks later it hasn't. Lord give me the strength to hold on.

    Talked with Allison last Friday.  She had not sent my file to Tallahassee yet,as she needed the letter from my former employer as to why I was fired. She needed it typed.  So I tracked down my old boss,and got it done.  Allison said she was going to try to get her pre-approval letter written Friday night, so file could be mailed out today.  If she didn't get it done,it will be next week,as she is off all this week.  I hope and pray she got it done.
