Where I am at in this whole process!
Mar 27, 2009
OK so I guess I should let you all know where I am in this process---As stated I am a Military Wife--We were recently stationed overseas and after having been offered this procedure at our last two duty stations---I finally decided it was time back in 2006--unfortunately we were in Okinawa Japan and they would not let me have the surgery and remain there--my husband would either have to ask to leave---which was out of the question--or the kids and I would have to leave and let him finish out his time there---again out of the question military families are separated enough by deployments I was not going to voluntarily take my kids and live away form their father--it was not fair to any of us---so I waited patently---OK so sort of patiently---HE HE HE---I arrived back in the states in late August and the first thing I did was get an appointment with a Dr. and ask about the surgery again---I was disappointed to find that there was a very long waiting list to even start the classes that are needed to have the surgery. In Oct. I went to the surgeons briefing and then was placed on the waiting list---then in February I received a call telling me that My name was up and that I could start the classes--so I attended the Coordinators class on Feb 23rd and have been working on the other classes since then and only have 2 more to go and then the big psych evaluation---that is the one that scares me the most---cause sometimes I think---Am I really normal??? Oh well I guess we will find out!
