Exciting Update!

Aug 20, 2009

Took the Hubby to the Surgeon's seminar that he puts on and he got all his questions answered.    Couple of good things came out of it:  1) Hubby feels more comfortable with me having surgery  2)  Called the insurance company & they said everything looks like it is in order, go ahead and have the surgeon submit for pre-authorization  3) Thyroid ultrasound showed no change.     ALL good things.    I think I am going to have to pinch myself to make sure it is real.    We are so blessed in our family with great insurance coverage through my hubby's work.  

But on the flip side I have been experiencing alot of emotional highs and real lows.   In talking with my spouse I have been trying to figure it out . . . .  what we have come up with is I am having an "idenity crisis."  
           Who am I if I'm not fat?
           Everyone knows me as the BBW; what will I be now?
           I have always had to work three times as hard at a job cuz I am a woman AND overweight?  What now?

For inquiry minds, yes, I have an appointment scheduled in my search for a therapist.   Any suggestions on screening a therapist or if you have struggled with these questions also, I would welcome whatever you are willing to share.  

Thank you for your compasion & understanding.   I look forward to your responses :-)
