The Consult.

The first appointment was pretty anticlimatic. 2 hours of waiting for 15 minutes of talking. woohoo. Basically they are going to start the inquiry to the insurance company. Which is a relief. So now I will be on pins and needles while I wait for that. Depending on the outcome I may have to work on "Plan B". Which would be self-pay and figuring out how to do that as the fees are due at time of procedure.

In the meantime I have some "homework" to do. Some medical tests and a psych eval. Unfortunately I have to go to a new Psychologist - theirs, as my therapist won't do. :( Oh well - it's all a part of the process.

I did show the nurse some pictures. She is very nice I like her. I clamed right up when the Doctor came in. I don't have any questions so I had nothing to say to him.

I showed the nurse the 2 pictures from the weddings that just appall me - when did I become 3 people?! She was sure that I had LOST weight since those pictures were taken - which was about 6 - 7 months ago. Which, with all my med problems this fall, I highly doubted. I mean, shoving yourself into a lavender strapless bridesmaid dress may add 20 pounds. Especially when it looks fabulous on the size 4 bridesmaid next to you. She may add another 20 pounds to you just by comparison. Anyway... I also showed her a picture from right after college graduation. I was about a size 13/14 then... and I thought I was huge. Little did I know! I was damn cute then. I told her I would like to get back there. She said we could do it and probably smaller. I told her I don't know from smaller - I don't remember smaller - I passed it so fast on the way up the scale.
