RE: Nervous and Weepy

[Guest guest]

Marjory,

I know where you are coming from. I am so scared of making a mistake

with all the pre op stuff that I can barely sleep at night. I don't

want anything to mess this up. I'm on the third re-write of my

letter and I haven't seen my PCP yet, but I'm trying to get

everything scheduled just right so the timing of tests will be right

on the money. It seems we have all been in limbo most of our lives,

and now we are looking to join the rest of the world and really live

it up. This is daunting! To be grown people and suddenly have the

opportunity to really change our lives; scary but exciting. It will

take a whole new mind set, but we can do it. Look at the way we have

all attacked this mission of getting the MGB. When was the last time

you wanted something this badly? Try emailing DW@... for

questions about the packet. She has been great about answering right

away. Sometimes I think Dr. R. made us jump through all these hoops

and such just to give us something to do while we wait. I know that

if I didn't have the " writing assignment " and all the other stuff to

get ready, I would have already gone nuts waiting. Relax and wipe

those tears.

Love,

Ranee

Dear Ranee, Thank you for the words of encouragement, It's true I

have not wanted anything this bad in a long time. I just don't

want

anything to go wrong at this point. As soon as I got insurance

approval it became a reality to me and now I just want the surgery

over so that I can get on with my new life. I was just having a bad

day, but truthfully I haven't been able to fall asleep well for

weeks

now and I know that will go on until I have surgery. You also gave me

a good suggestion about emailing Debbie; I really haven't had any

contact with the office yet maybe she will be able to put my mind at

ease. I did the same worry thing about the insurance. I thought they

were going to make it out of network until I finally talked to the

right person who told me that put that in the letter about him being

out of network because in Ca they don't really have the ability

to

find out if a Dr. in NC is a ppo or not and when I get there I just

give my insurance card to the office and the hospital and it is

covered in network, so I worried for nothing. I hope that all goes

well with you getting your packet in soon.

Love ya all

Marjory
