So, evidently, the waiting is NOT the hardest part!!! *giggle* Well, it sorta is. You see, I did get the approval earlier this week from the insurance company and they will be covering the surgery. My incredibly AWESOME girlfriend has agreed to cover the deposit (which I will pay her back when I get reimbursed via my insurance company). So, I called the next day to actually SCHEDULE the surgery. . .yeah, there's a year to two year wait for the surgery. . .BUT someone happened to have cancelled so there is an opening before the FALL!!!!! YEAH, a two year wait was shrunken down to just months!!!!!
I've been thinking about why that occured for me. I think it's a couple of things. I think a big thing is because my insurance will be covering it. But, I also think the fact that I was on top of my transition helped. Whenever something went to them, I called the next day to make sure it had gotten in. I stayed involved with my surgery stuff and active with what was going on.
So the scary part was letting my mom know. I was really nervous, despite that we had had a really nice conversation this last weekend over the phone. But I was letting her know that the surgery was going to be happening kinda really soon.
She was actually very supportive. I know it's not easy for her, but I am VERY appreciative in the support from my family and friends.
NOW, it's just the really fun part of electrolysis in the really sensitive parts . . . that is not turning out to be that much fun. But I have a mouth guard that I am chomping on when it's REALLY not fun! *giggle*
