When is my last appointment?
May 31st you say?
Why that's tomorrow!
OMG!!! My last appointment is tomorrow!!!!
Initiate mini freak out in 3...2...1...
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I can't believe it... Where has this last 6 months gone? It seems like just yesterday I was at my original consult!
I also had a little freak out last week. The hubs lost his job thursday. He was with the dealership for 5 years and apparently they wanted to bring in someone with more experience in his particular job at the time to try and make more money since they aren't doing too terribly well.
We have 2 kids under 5 so we have no savings... only expenses.
I kinda freaked out because I thought "there's no way we can afford this surgery now"
But then I did a happy dance and patted myself on the back for being so prepared... I put $3000 in my flexible spending account JUST for this. I'm good huh? Look at me planning ahead for once! HA!
Well.... Wish me luck! :)
Yah!!!! I did a happy dance just for you (it may have looked like a pee-pee dance, that is just because I have had 60 oz of water so far today).
ReplyDeleteI love love love my flex account and mine allowed me to pre-submit my claims. So all my docs gave me estimates for what I would owe before I even did the surgery and my flex paid off of those.
I'm hoping mine lets me do the same. It let me do it with wittle ones birth so we shall see...
DeleteP.s.. you totally rock the happy/peepee dance!
So sorry to hear about the job thing! But I also did the happy dance for you (although mine looks more like I am having tourrettes!! Andi mean no offence to anyone by saying that!) Love you girl, you'll do great tomorrow! :) all smiles and happy thoughts!
ReplyDeleteIt's a dance party up in here!! Love you too! :)
Deletesorry to hear about the job loss, my husbands company is looking to let go off a few guys and I just hope he is not one of 'em and if so i hope they do it after my surgery!!!! our insurance is through his work, I am a stay at home mom. I didnt have to do the 6 month diet thing.... I just went to my first appt about 3 weeks ago did some blood work seen a nutritionist, psych, and on the 25th I will meet with the surgeon again and the anestesiologist (?) then start liquid diet that day and dumdeedumdum july 5th is the big day..... good luck to you
ReplyDeleteLucky duck!!! For me, I am glad now that I had to do the 6 month diet. I think I'm more prepared now. I've had a lot of time to think and try to get my head in the game. Hopefully my surgery will be close to yours! We could be surgery buddies :)
DeleteJulie, I am so happy to see you being positive!!! It will be tough for a while but you guys are great and you will get back on your feet...Hopefully, this will be a blessing in disguise for you and your family. Good luck tomorrow! Love you!!! T:)
ReplyDeleteI'm a chronic optimist! lol I think this will work out for the best, That place was literally about to give him a damn heartattack! I'll let you know how it goes... Probably nothing special just a regular appointment but they should submit to insurance within the next couple of days!! :)
Deletegood call on the FSA. the diet wait is so bad! Would of been heart breaking to have to postpone at this point
ReplyDeleteI agree... I think it would have shattered my momentum and confidence if I had to postpone after all this work! I'm SOOOOOO glad I tucked that money into my FSA... For once i thought ahead and it paid off! :)
DeleteI'm on month 4 so I'm right behind you!!! Good luck!
