Two days after my b-day...and I'm sitting here catching up on my journaling. I got a call from WFL a week and a half ago...they said that all I needed from Dr. H was a letter stating that diets don't work for me because of the diabetes. I was feeling really confident that I would get approved. But a week later, I got a great new job! I'm very excited, and knew that accepting this job would mean my dreams of WLS would be put on hold. I have to wait 90 days of being temp, and 90 days of being perm to be eligible for insurance, after which I was told I'd have a PPO. Cool. So I'm putting my dream on hold. I know that it will happen some day.
I'm really missing my grandpa today. He died two years ago at the end of August. I'm really sad today. But I know he's watching over me and will be with both Mike and I during our surgeries.
July 30 - Mike got laid off today. It was still a shock, even tho we knew it would probably happen, but in the end...it's a really really good thing that he lost his job. I know it sounds crazy, but he was treated so poorly there, that this was truly a blessing. Now he can concentrate on his surgery, and not have to worry about the jerks at work, and taking time off for the surgery. WHOOHOO, Mikey!
