Okay, we turned in H's medical records and notes detailing what the dr. wants for him in the near future. Our new case worker faxed it all to the appropriate office while we were there! We may not hear til the 27th/28th, but at least it's d-o-n-e!!! We are both breathing somewhat calmer now. Sure, we have a wait but WE ARE MOVING FORWARD!
It was a fair day health-wise. Eating was a little over, mostly cause I missed lunch & totally oinked at dinner. H2O? I'm behind on that...but I've got about 3 hrs to improve. No walk...just kind of spent running around getting the records, making extra copies of them & turning them in.
So we still need good thoughts that things will progress in spite of the holidays...but at least we are this far! Soooo much farther than we were just yesterday.
Sheila: Sounds like a plan to me! I know it's super, duper hard to stay on track food-wise during this time of year. Staying diligent on the exercise should really help! Go for it!!!
As for me, I did have to go up the supervisoraly chain. It was basically #ELL. The first person I spoke with was awesome, but she had to try FOUR supervisors before SHE even got someone to talk to me! I felt bad for her. But this super wasn't super...instead of listening to my complaint & trying to fix it, she spent the whole time defending our case worker...the one who gave us wrong forms, delaying our process by 6 wks. I demanded a new case worker...and BAM! HE called us this morning with notes, questions & an attitude of "how can I help you?" In less than businss day, he had our paperwork in the hands necessary to expedite our case. I almost feel like he is a Christmas angel....
olehcat: Have a very merry & blessed Christmas! We will miss you! Try & be healthy & stay on track. If you don't, don't stress it...we'll help you get back on it once you return!!
zumba: Or maybe I should stay out of arm's reach? JUST KIDDING!!! I'm sorry your PMS is is being such a horrible pain. Been there, done that...glad to see menopause, just wish the moods swings & hot flashes weren't so um....unpredictable.
seemyfeet: Glad you're feeling better. YES! I will wear my "B" proudly. Only because I'm a "B" with a reason...not just a "B" to be one. As for the "body scan"...I always remember to myself that I may be heavy, but I'm loosing weight. They WILL ALWAYS be superfiscial & thus pathetic!
2fatcats: Enjoy the snow, but do be careful shoveling it. It can be very, very taxing on your body...as you found out. Hope you took a nice hot shower/bath, maybe had some hot tea/light cocoa & relaxed afterward!
I love nice rewards like that!!
Okay, everyone be healthy! If you traveling for the holidays, please do so safely! Be healthy, be happy & enjoy the remainder of 2012...after all the world didn't come to an
end....go figure!
