So after the anger subsided on Friday, things got a little better but no less stressful.
Around 2pm, the surgeon's office called and told me I was approved for surgery. Hot dog!! So I picked a date of October 11th, which means I start my clear liquid diet on October 4th... which is two days after I get back from a week in Mexico. That's one hell of a last hoorah!
So instantly after I hung up the phone, my case worker lady from the insurance calls and tells me I was approved. She was a little ... odd. I had talked to her that previous Wednesday and she was telling me she had talked to me like two weeks before... which isn't the case. Anyway, she said I was approved as well and should expect a call from my surgeons office sometime soon. Right. So that was awesome.
Here comes the stressful part. I started a job like a week ago. I already had to ask off a week for my "unavoidable out-of-town business" and now I had to ask for ANOTHER week off right after I got back. I don't know if that bugs companies or is a pain in the ass to have to schedule around things like that or if they simply just don't schedule me, I'm not sure. I know they were looking to hire like 150 people for the holidays so I should be fine. I know I sounded like I had just killed someone on the phone but the HR woman assured me it was gonna be okay, even though she did have a twinge of annoyance in her voice. Little did I know I would need ANOTHER day off for all day pre-op testing (thanks for not mentioning that, surgeons office!) so tonight when I go to my mandatory meeting, I will try and sneak a peek at the schedule to see if it's up there for that week. Pray that it isn't so when I go in there tomorrow morning I can request that off as well. They must love me over there.
Honestly I'm a little torn about the situation. I wouldn't mind working there at all. It seems like once I get the hang of it, it would be a nice little job for the holidays. I know my husband is happy to see me bring in some money... and my parents are happy for me... but I wish I wouldn't have gotten it now. I just want to focus on getting this surgery and healing at my own pace and all that jazz. I guess I'm just a little nervous because this is all new territory for me. New job. A surgery. Weight loss. Haven't had too much experience with any of those things!
Okay, now I'm just rambling. I'm going to attempt to feed Ruby again today. I think this is her 1 month anniversary of purchase and is still refusing food.
