Well, we found out our insurance has approved my surgery and will cover 100% after we meet our deducible. Woohoo!! We were a little nervous that we might have to pay 20%--which adds up FAST!! Then, a couple of days later I was called with a surgery date at North Memorial. I was immediately nervous. That is not were we talked about having it and yikes, it was now becoming so real. The lady on the phone wasn't thrilled, but agreed to talk with the surgeon and plastic surgeon again and find a date for Fairview Hospital. So, now it is set: February 10 at Fairview. Unfortunately, we will be spending our anniversary either in the hospital (only if things don't go well) or recovering at home. Sorry, babe!! I know this isn't what he imagined happening on our special day!
People ask how I feel about it now. Well, the bottom line is: I'm a little scared now that I have a date. It is a little more permanent and real. I know I want to do it, but the thought of surgery and recovery is a little nerve racking--especially with 2 young boys running around. I know this is a good decision for me and my family, but there is a small sacrifice. I know I will be happy when it is done and I will have a peace about it all.
