When it rains, it pours...............................and Pours

this has been a horrible week. First, last week The nurse at the dr's said the insurance company should call her by this tuesday to see if im approved. They have not called yet and I am getting worried that I will be denied.then Yesterday was exactly one year from when my dad died. It was such a horrible day but we made it through the best we could. He died of a hypertensive heart attack at a hotel when we were at my college orientation. I think yesterday was just as bad as it was a year ago.
Today was just a kicker. I went to the ortho because my knee was bothering me still and he told me that I will have to have surgery on my knee and it could go three ways. he will go in laproscopically to see how far gone the cartilage is. if it is too far there is nothing he can do and I will have to live with it. If it is ok, he can either move the knee cap back in place and I will be walking next day, or he will need to break the leg cut a chunk out and make it straight and will take two months to walk.
He also said losing weight will make the surgery easier and less complicated. Well suprise suprise I am getting the DS. and I guess not a moment too soon. He said that If it doesn't get fixed that I will have arthritis in 5-10 years. just what I wanted to hear, arthritis by the age 30. This is just one more reason to get the DS. He said it can wait until I lose the weight. lets just add another surgery to the list. I wonder how long it will take to get this weight off. He wants me down around 150.
I am not really looking forward as to whats to come this week. We burried my dad a year from the 14. For now I am taking it one step at a time. Hopefully good news will come soon. I really need it.
