Yippee for me!

So today has been kind of a crazy day! I scheduled my pulmonary clearance appointment (August 20th), my pre-op blood tests with PCP (August 13th), and got on the waiting list for the psychologist. They should be calling me in the next week-week and a half to schedule the actual appointment which shouldn't be much more of a wait beyond that. The only problem that I am thinking about right now is how I am going to schedule this around my work schedule. I work Monday - Thursday 6:30-3:00 and Friday 6-2:30. I guess I can just either take the time that I am gone as unpaid or maybe not have the day after Thanksgiving off and have 8 hours of vacation time to use for all the appointments. I dunno, I will have to think about it. Either way, I have a little under a month to think about it. It seems so far away, especially since I have already waited since the beginning of July for the WLS seminar. I am wondering if I should call the Doctor's office and set up my consultation now. Hmmm...I will try and see if they are still open and schedule it for after all of my other appointments...They aren't open now, oh well! I will just call tomorrow. I just want to get everything taken care of, be cleared for surgery, and see Dr. Snyder already!

I really want the surgery before my birthday in September. I was thinking that I was probably going to be having surgery in late August, but I don't know about that anymore since I couldn't get any earlier appointments than the middle of the month. What a rollercoaster of emotion!Speaking of emotion, my Grandparents are giving me $1000 for my surgery!! Isn't that awesome?! I was so overwhelmed with happiness I almost started to cry and was literally speechless.

Well, I’ll write more when I know more!
