Well, it's been a crazy busy week at work and a bit of a downer. I'm now off work for the next 5 days and am looking forward to not going to work. I've worked late almost every night this week. Tonight was the only night I've actually left on time. It's been very busy at work which I suppose is good, job security and all that of course. Emotionally I'm doing ok. Of course Wed morning the clinic called to "review my insurance benefits" I told her I had cancelled the cycle and she acted offended. As far as benefits, I know what I have. I have a very small amount, life time maximum for IF coverage and my doctor isn't one of the preferred providers and so they only pay like 50% if anything. Of course as soon as I hung up I started to freak out a bit but I managed to calm down fairly quickly. I still really believe I'm doing the right thing. I believe it was right even if it was a bit painful, to walk away from this. I also called the surgeon's office on Wednesday to see about making another appointment to get started on the Gastric bypass. Turns out I don't have to go back to the surgeon right away. They got everything started for me and I have appointments in a couple of weeks for the psych eval and with the dietician. It's kind of exciting. A bit scary too but exciting. I think this is going to happen within the next 6 weeks or so.
So I had taken all of next week off back when I had planned on having an FET. I did change it a little bit and said I would work next Thur & Fri but I'm still taking Mon-Wed off. I feel like I could use it and I'm heading down to LA for a couple of days.
So that's what's going on now. It's a start. A start on much bigger things.

Bravo for moving on to bigger things. I can't tell you how many times I've thought of having that surgery myself. I made the right choice and won't regret it. Best of luck and lots of hugs.
Glad you're taking a little time off for yourself. You sure could use it sweetie. Thinking of you!!
A start on much bigger things!
Have a good time in LA.
been thinking of you...
I hope your time off is just the pick me up you need. {{{hugs}}}
Are you busy the whole time you are in LA? I might be able to head that way!
Best of luck to you with the gastric bypass. That's a big exciting step. And I'm sure one that's going to bring some positive changes. Looking forward to following along and watching you melt away!
It takes a lot of courage to follow your inner voice like you're doing.
I wish you the best on the bigger and the regular-sized things.

What a difference between your treatment at one office over the other.
I hope you enjoy your days off!
Makes wonder why they act offended when they are the one that pulled a boatload of extra money onto the bill at the eleventh hour.
What fun things do you plan in LA, land of the plastic fantastic faces like Martha says?
I really believe that if your gut was telling you to cancel the cycle, then that is the best thing. It can be so hard to hear that little voice, but it is so wise.
