~ Here Again ~

Well ....Finally some good news to report. I have recieved word from my surgeon and I have only two more hoops to jump through to qualify for the gastric by-pass surgery that I have been trying to get lined up for nearly a year. I need clearence from my cardiologist and clearence from my pulmanologist and I will be ready to go. They have informed me that as soon as they get these it will be 4-6 weeks untill they can get word back from the insurance company and then they will schedule my surgery as soon as possible thereafter. I am having continuing health problems due to my enormous weight. I have partially torn a tendon that attaches to my left hip and because of that I am not comfortable either sitting standing or laying. I am eagerly awaiting this surgery so that I can begin to get healthy again. Without a doubt this has been the very worst thing that has happened to me in my life. I know you occasional readers can appreciate that but for those family and friends that read me they know that that is not a casual statement. I have been through the mill and would not reccomend this to my worst enemy. Thank God that my family hasn't given up on me. I fully intend to accomplish this and get on with the business of living. Perhaps a vacation trip to Hawaii IS in the cards...........
