Today is 6 weeks from surgery. Tomorrow I have my 6-week appointment with my doctor to see how I’m healing up. It’s a big stage in the healing since, if all is well, I get a lot more restrictions lifted and can get back to almost normal activities. Even though at 6 weeks you are […]

Today is exactly 1 week until surgery. Goodness gracious, I’m getting nervous. I also had my pre-op clearance with my primary doctor today. Most things were good, but, nothing is ever straightforward so…here’s what’s going on. Blood Pressure First, my blood pressure was 98/64. Which is actually a little low, especially since I’m on medication […]

Talked to Donna – the billing person at my doctor’s office. She was going over the insurance approval process and billing side of the surgery. My insurance is $1,000 deductible for the year (I think I still owe about $670 or so towards that) and the insurance pays 80% and I pay 20%. So I […]

Didn’t do a whole lot this weekend. Love was recovering from his extraction Thursday and was kinda sore and I was really, weirdly dizzy Friday and Saturday. Not like vertigo dizzy, more like lightheaded/spacey/woozy. If I got up too quick, my vision would go kinda white/foggy too for a second. I think that perhaps the […]

I desperately need to drum up some sales. Things have been so slow for over a week now and I’m honestly panicking looking at the dwindling balance in my account. With surgery 16 days away (and counting!) and $600 still to go, PLUS trying to build a little bit of a safety net while I’m […]

Ever since being in the ER, I’ve had a whirlwind of emotions; fear, anxiety, anger, resentment but also gratitude, thankfulness, amazement and wonderment. With the exclusion of a very limited few who showed their ugly, inner true colors, almost universally, I’ve received the most positive support. Friends, family, acquaintances, and even strangers have been so […]
