Although, Soledad aka Ms. Scheduler didn't let us down. We called her on Tuesday to ask her if she had heard back from our insurance. She hadn't. She did manage to call back on December 30, Tuesday night at 6 p.m. and said that she is still working on it. Nice. She wanted to know if I had gotten my medical clearance from my primary care doctor. That would be the one SHE FORGOT TO TELL ME I NEEDED!
So, we are scrambling and will hopefully get that tomorrow (Friday).
I have given movie producer rights to Queen Jean Steel who came up with this scene:
It's set in the operating room.
As I am going under, the doctor turns around and says slowly and precisely,
"Hello, Hayley. [pause]. I am your surgeon [longer pause], Soledad."
That's good stuff right there - I don't care who you are!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I would be amiss in saying that the surgery is definitely on my mind. I'm trying to keep myself busy (cleaning my house, working on the website newsletters, de-cluttering, etc.) We decided to go see a movie.
We ended up seeing Seven Pounds.
This is an amazing movie. Will Smith should just take his award and sit down. However, and without spoiling anything, this did not take my mind off it. I'm exhausted.
But you should definitely see it if you haven't. And then we can talk about it. But I think in the meantime perhaps I should go see Marley & Me to truly let my mind wander!
Oh yeah, Happy New Year!
