Yesterday marked my last pre-operative appointment. I met with my doctor's PA and went over the procedure, any questions I had, expectation v. reality, and all the things I need to do/know/accept to prepare for surgery on the 31st. It's so surreal. Four months ago it felt like this day would never come. I had …
Long day of design…
I spent today at the design center with Heather, the design manager for Fielding homes. Let me preface by saying as humbly as I can -- I am good with design. I know my style, I understand color almost intuitively, I can coordinate items together that others may not and it generally works out great. …
SC — again…
So, back to South Carolina I go. Frank and I have bought a new build in Clover, South Carolina in a development called Paddlers Cove. It's ah-mazing. The trees, the water, the lot. We fell in love the first day we landed a few weeks ago, reserved a lot, called Frank's work for permission to …
The hardest thing…
I guess I should preface this post with "by the way, we're moving"... I promise a whole other post on that...but for now, for today, for this morning, I feel a tinge of sadness. Change comes easily for me. It always has. And I have a deep seeded belief that what you put out there …
All that for this…
So 16 vials of blood later and it turns out I am am vitamin D3 deficient. I have a friend, Laurie, who has been on me for years to take vitamin D. And I have from time to time taken it, but not consistent enough to make a lasting impact. And now, the choice is …
No Warning…
I was an innocent. I walked into the lab yesterday morning fully expecting someone to poke my arm with a needle and take some blood. I did not expect the lab tech to take all the blood I possessed. I walked in, sat down, started a nice chit chat with the tech gal, who I could …
One last hurdle…
One last thing I have to do before surgery -- a blood draw. We never did this after my initial meeting with my doc. We have to be sure I'm not vitamin deficient in any area as the surgery I'm having will technically do that in the end. I can't start out that way. I …
On the Horizon…
I was going to save this post until some time later...but it's all that is on my mind right now aside from surgery. Have you ever felt a pull -- I would say a pull like you are not where you are supposed to be, but there's nothing in the "negative" about the pull. It's …
Approved!!
Well, I got the call today...my insurance approved my surgery. I thought for sure there would be some hold up, some appeal, but nope -- approved! They were ready to do the surgery next week, however, I have a lot of "stuff" between now and then...so I pushed the date -- July 31st is when …
