I haven’t had a cycle in 3 1/2 years because of the Lupron and nothing in the two months since going off it. So I don’t know. Menopause runs early in my family.

Anyway was supposed to see my gynecologist to check in at the end of April to see if I needed to go back on endometriosis treatment or should be tested for menopause. Just scheduled for tomorrow.

Yeah...it’s best to just get it checked out. If it’s not early menopause then it’s probably just your hormones trying to sort themselves out. It might be a little bit of a bumpy ride for a bit while your system decides what it wants to do.

I had some hot flashes when going through menopause, but mine were fairly mild I believe. I would just get suddenly very hot, flushed and then it would be over pretty quick

Again your insurance companies confuse me. Why would they have to decide about a potentially life threatening condition? Are there certain things that are immediately covered? This must cause so much stress on top of being sick. Someone tell me cancer and heart surgery is something they don't mess about with.

No, they mess around with things like that and people die. If it's a real emergency, you get the surgery and cross your fingers that insurance will cover it. If not, the medical debt will likely make you go bankrupt. It's a broken and immoral system.

Do you have any idea of a time frame, art? And can they do it by laparoscopy?

Might be as soon as Friday. Yep it will be laparoscopic. Outpatient even which is really kind of shocking to me.

Yes, BCM...it’s a really messed up system. Over a year ago my father needed a life saving full liver transplant and they needed to get approval from insurance before they would even put him on the transplant list. Then they had to approve a home health care aid while he was waiting for a liver. They have to approve everything first. and if Art needed her appendix removed right there and then, like EM said, she and everyone else getting surgery on the spot would have had to pray that it would be covered.

My eating has been total crap the past week. I really need to get back in the game. I can’t even blame it on stress eating from the job situation because I found that out on Friday. So nope, this is all me, bad choices and shoveling nothing but crap in my pie hole. Do I at least get points for owning it and not making excuses? I really need to turn this around. It starts now.

That is SO COOL that they have an appendix lap specialist! Ive been watching gastric bypasses on youtube, and those people are magicians with those tools.

I really need to talk about the anger I have towards him and I need to hear him acknowledge his part in it and apologize and then talk about what lead to this whole blow up in my end. I don’t want to declare my t an asshole, but I do have to admit this weekend he did act like with is accusation of expecting too much.

Yeah..I’m sorry I said that. It’s just my knee jerk reaction at most of them when I read they did something stupid.

Update: my surgery is scheduled for 8:45 am Thursday. Insurance wouldn't look at it til they scheduled it. I hope they cover it.

Dr google did not indicate it was at all elective, so i really dont see why they wouldnt.

Somewhere I have a video of my laparoscopic knee surgery. Kind of weird watching them cut away your own cartilage with a little scissor thingy. I'd probably watch my own appendectomy just out of curiosity.

HUGS Artie, try not to worry. I would think insurance would cover that. It's such a stupid system. How are you holding up?

So, no longer thinking "today's session was pretty good" but feeling really awful about some stuff from it...

But they think you are competent enough to give a final directive -glass half full.
And seriously -get it on file unless you want your family making those decisions.

LT—can you step back and look at the whole instead of focusing on bits of it? See the forest, not the trees?
