So yep after 2 weeks of checking my mail, and my voicemail hourly, they called I am approved!! Longest 2 weeks of my life. It seems surreal, I am excited nervous, and scared all at once. And of course 1 million things are circling my brain, everything around the house I need to do and get prepared yikes! It's a go! So september 21st is my surgery date, I already got my FMLA rolling, and my short term disability started (lots of paperwork) I feel organized and prepared, I think?! Is it normal to feel this way, I am not doubting the surgery, I am nervous that once again I will fail. I keep telling myself, it's a change, I am changing my life so when I am 65 and able to retire, I will actually be able to enjoy life, not be in such poor health that retirement is doctors appts and the couch. I see my rheumatologist on friday and will tell him the AWESOME news! And then he gets to adjust my meds because excercise is making me hurt more, and from what I understand with Fibro, this is normal, however if he increases them it will make it easier to excercise more than 2-3 days a week. Ok so I gotta go pack my hospital bag! Just kidding!!

If it's any help, i've had several people with Fibro tell me that it gets better after weight loss. I can't wait to find out for myself. Please keep me updated. ~ and CONGRATS on the date! you sound super prepared.

Congratulations on getting your date! I got my on Monday and September 10th it is!!!! I am like you so excited and trying to make sure everything is taken care of on the job. I called today and started the process today regarding STD and FMLA. I am covered both ways. Although people say you can go back after a week I am not sure if I will be ready so it is better to be safe than sorry! Wishing you success on your journey and we will have to keep in touch. It has been a long process but I can say definitely worth the wait...

Can't wait to be on the losers bench
