It is official, Jello has been approved for surgery and is scheduled for February 4, 2016. This is fantastic news, but also very anxiety ridden. We had just thought it would be four or six weeks and more time for arguing with insurance, but it turns out to be just now.
Over the last three days I have been processing this information. Of course it isn’t nearly as anxiety inducing for me as it is for Jello, but I can feel it building up as well. In between weird dreams, anxiety at work and this I haven’t really slept much. I have had to confront a couple of things in the last couple of days. I will finish grappling soon and move on to the next thing.
I suspect I will be posting more in depth posts then about that, and about the rush of feelings I have and with Jello. Just rest assured I love him even more now, and things are going great.
Thank you for all the support.

Great news that Jello got approved by insurance. Donna told me that the hardest part was waiting for me to get out of surgery and for the doctor to come and see her and tell her I was OK. She was also anxious about how she would feel about my new chest, and didn’t want to see it for a while (which was fine because I had to keep it wrapped anyway). She decided that it looked natural on me, and is now content with it.
For me there was just a lot of being uncomfortable and sore, and I didn’t like sleeping on my back (for 4 weeks!). But I was very happy to have it over with. There are a lot of “tips for top surgery” that have been posted – my only tip is to get bendy straws for drinking, because it is hard to raise a glass/bottle up after surgery.
I will definitely get some bendy straws for Jello :). I am absolutely sure Jello will look adorable in it (he is small, he is always adorable to me). Thank you so much for the feedback, I will keep everything updated!
Congrats on both getting it covered by insurance and for such a quick surgery date.
Thanks Lesboi! 🙂
