I can’t believe that my 3 month prep for my surgery is over!  Today was my last dietitian/physiologist class.  The next step is that the clinic will submit all the paperwork to my insurance for approval.  Once they hear back from the insurance, they will call me and I assume, set a surgery date.  They were saying that it could be anywhere from two weeks to a month to hear back from the insurance.  After that I’ll need to go on a two week liver shrinking, all liquid, diet before surgery. I’m ready to have my date set so I can get a better time frame as to when it’s all going to happen.  She was thinking around Christmas.  That is if everything goes as planned.

The past month it seems I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster.  I’m ready for things to just get back to normal.  I DID find a therapist and made an appt and had my first session. First session she just let me vent.  I think I’m going to like her.  I’ll see her again next week.

My friend, Kerry, has been walking with me lately.  Trying to get as much of it in while the weather is still nice out.  It’s been nice to have someone to encourage me.  She’s always been a great walking partner.  Walks at my pace and is a great ear and shoulder to lean on, and is always telling me I can do it. 🙂  Now I’ll just have to make myself keep it up at the community center once it gets colder outside!

Friday I’m planning on taking my camcorder to my Grandma Hornaday’s place and record an interview with her.  It’s been something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, just never got around to it.  I’ve done one interview with my Grandma Joan, but need to do more….figure out a way to get her to open up more.  Maybe I should do an interview with her and her brother, together. 🙂

Well – that’s my update for now.  So, until I know more….
