I feel especially blessed because not only am I having the surgery, but Dr. Ren of NYU is my surgeon. I have heard so many wonderful things about her.

I'm still in shock. Right after I hung up with the surgeon's insurance coordinator, I got a call from UHC telling me I was approved.
My husband is taking off from work on Monday and Tuesday to be with the kids before and after school. He may be able to sneak in a visit to me while they're in school, but we'll see. His cousin lives nearby and is on alert, and my friend across the street is also there if we need her. Bless her heart -- she has a pre-schooler and a teenager, a husband who travels a lot, and has the flu right now, but is eager to help.
My brother lives in Manhattan, within walking distance of NYUMC, but he's a bit funny about hospitals. In any case, I've already warned him not to come if he's going to make me laugh -- which he never fails to do.
My 86-year-old mother, who can't resist a good drama, is milking this for all its worth. ("I only hope everything goes all right...I can't believe you got this heavy...you were such a skinny little thing...)
Hah!
