This week has been great. Really, really great. Everything has gone so right and this is actually the best week i've had in a while. Tax refund should be coming next week, that will be nice! We're going to work on fixing up the house a little, although the laminate flooring project will have to wait until late this summer or early fall. I have a lot of things coming up and just can't concentrate too much on other things. My surgery is tentatively scheduled for March 9th. That could change, of course. We are submitting all of the paperwork to Tricare on the 16th and if i'm approved (which should be a no brainer since i've already been "pre" approved) then I will be having my surgery shortly after. Wow. Joey asked me yesterday if I'm scared at all. I probably should be, but i'm not. I am just so happy that my hernia is going to be fixed and my abdomen is going to be completely revised and fixed as well. I may even have a flat stomach, which would be a nice extra. I'm not even worried about how much pain I will be in, because honestly.....after going through everything I went through with the wound vac and all the abdominal surgeries I have had to correct the MRSA issue, I don't think it would be possible to feel any more pain than i've already felt. 3 months of wound changes (which was EXCRUCIATING) has prepared me for any other pain I could ever feel again in my life. Surgery pain is small potatoes to me. So, no, i'm not scared at all. I feel refreshed. And excited. Tricare is finally going to do something right, and I will get the care I should have gotten to begin with. ALL of my doctors this time are civilian and I have even done reference research on them. I am just really very happy about all of this. I have gone through all of my clearances with all of the specialists I've had to see (psych, etc.) and I am good to go. So paperwork submission is soon. SOOOOON! :)
My kids and I are suffering from colds this week and I am also on my period, which blows. Yet I am still in a great mood. So things are good in my world. I hope everyone else is having a great week as well! Superbowl is Sunday! I could careless about that, but who doesn't love chicken wings and pizza? Haha!
Ashley, I would LOVE the link:) That is a really good deal! Sabrina said she got hers there cheap too, every time i go i always find the 150 + ones, and well I am a bit of a cheap person LOL:D I also spend a lot of time browsing craigs list, I guess half of it is boredom and the other half curiousity to see what others have (sad, I know lol).
ReplyDeletebtw coconut anything is so good, now I think I will have to raid the halloween stash (if it still exists) ;) Good luck with your up coming surgery! Was the former mrsa infection from a c section?
Yesssss and I love dum dums, so that was just tasty. I'm considering finding a bag of all coconut ones (do they make dum dums in all one flavor?) but I don't know if thats overboard...lol.
ReplyDeleteI will post the link on your blog to the dressers, i'm not seeing the black one but I know i've seen all 3 colors in store. They don't have the best reviews, but I don't know why because its honestly worked out really well for us. Its held up through my daughters abuse and it still looks and works great. I hope you have the same luck!
I did get MRSA through my c section. I had my son in January of 09 and was sick until April, it was pretty crappy!
