Oct.22...

So...yesterday Porter's teacher didn't show up. I got a text with her stating that she'd be unable to teach him due to no internet access...even though James said; "give me your mac info amd I'll hook you up." She's a sub and probably not experienced w/ Autism, so now I have to call the school to set up another IEP and be 'stronger' about wanting a certified Autism Teacher 5 days a week!
The fight is daily.
==================
Wahoo! I made my 3 month goal and dropped 30 more pounds!!!
Megan McKee was with me and her jaw dropped. She even witnessed me in the body scanner. Next appointment is January. Now is the time to get even more serious...DAILY cardio for 30 minutes!
(I got this!)
==================
Great Day!
First, celebrating losing 30 more pounds at my Surgeon's office.
Second, visiting Romelda McKee at The hospital and seeing how well she is doing after her back surgery.
Third, spending time w/ Megan McKee...giggling and just hanging.

A kink in the chain....

Got a phone call that changed things a bit. Dr. Spencer's Office called. Apparently BC/BS insurance covers only Blue Distinction Facilities (Places of Excellence they have certified), and Chesapeake General Hospital is NOT one of those facilities, yet. I NOW have to see if the Bariatric Docs at Sentara can schedule me In for surgery, since they are a Blue Distinction Facility. Dr. Spencer's office... will release ALL info, but I need a separate release for Psych.
Not too happy about this. Not understanding why it took them 2 months to find this out and why that even really matters, but thus is what happened and now I have to make a switch. Good News, she said is that ALL my work is done and I am ready for surgery. Just need to meet with new Doctor and transfer paperwork. Argh!!!!

 

Waiting for return phone call from Sentara's Bariatrics Planning Manager now.

So....how's everyone else's day going?

 

So happy I have knitting tonight at Panera.
I am in need of a really good laugh with friends now!
