Guest guest Posted May 18, 2000 Report Share Posted May 18, 2000 Hi everyone! I just went before the board of Trustees at the plumbers union hall, (my husband is a plumber) to get an approval for the surgery / insurance. I am such a nervous wreck. My husband and I had to wait an hour to get in to talk to them. I was trying to psych myself into the presentation. I was figuring maybe 6 guys on the board. When we walked through the door I was shocked to see approximately 20 guys. I did the best I could in explaining my situation and the quality of my life and how hopeful I am that the surgery could help me regain my life back. But when I spoke of some of the personal issues (using the rest rooms, tying shoes, bathing, walking) I couldn't hold back the tears. I tried my best. My husband even addressed the board on my behalf. (If ever there was an angel on earth, I think it is my husband). He has been so supportive. When he addressed the board about the quality of my life even he got teary, He was able to control it much better. He seems to think that things went well, the board said they will let us know. I am so wound up, I felt so many different emotions, mad, sad, frustrated, embarrassed, ...after we left I broke into tears. Please pray that they will reach the right decision. Sorry so long, I guess I just needed to vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
