Well today was my last weight loss appointment! Everything looks good, lost another two pounds, and my doc is sending all the stuff to the weight loss center. I’m supposed to hear back from them when they get it 😀 I know I have to see the surgeon one more time which is perfectly fine, and THEN they’ll submit it to Medicaid. I’m really looking forward to this and maybe things are finally looking up for me. If I lose the bulk of this weight, my life will change. I’m not even that big of a person but it has screwed up my whole body, my health, my everything. I look about 20-30 pounds less than I actually weigh, always have. No one thinks I need the surgery but I definitely do. Mom has started getting paranoid about it and is now telling me she doesn’t want me to do it. I’m personally not scared of medical procedures. It doesn’t bother me, I don’t worry about dying or whatever. It might cross my mind, but it doesn’t stick around long enough to bother me.

Anyways, it’s coming up on me fast. So is the cataract surgery. I hope they don’t interfere with one another because they’ll be pretty close together.

The cataract surgery actually does bother me a bit, but only because they do not put me to sleep and I do not want to be aware of someone touching and lasering my eyeballs. Especially if I can see it. I can touch my own eyeballs with impunity but don’t like anyone else doing it. When I went to the eye doctor a week ago they numbed my eyeballs but I still felt the thingy touching them, not just the pressure, but the touch. That kind of bothers me if that’s what they’re using during surgery because it wasn’t working so good that day. I wish they’d just knock me out!

I deleted Facebook and Facebook messenger off my phone a while back so I wouldn’t feel tempted to go on it and stress about other people and their selfish, self-absorbed bs. It feels good. Highly recommend it!

I saw my therapist today and let loose haha. It needed to happen, I can’t have all that nonsense bottled up in me. We also shared paranormal experiences. I think she was afraid of me thinking she was crazy, but I know that stuff is real. Not that long ago, I heard a disembodied voice in my bedroom yell-whisper (don’t know what else to call it) nonsense words, or at least I couldn’t understand it, and Google didn’t really help…I took my ass to the living room and slept in the recliner, because HELL NO. I’m scared I’ll hear it again at some time.

I’m trying to prepare myself to paint something. I have an idea. I wish I could feel good enough to just DO it.

I heard back from Medicaid about my surgery; apparently they need a refresh update on my psych eval because the time frame ran out, so I’ve had to make an appointment with the psychiatrist I saw before, which is fine because I like her. No biggie. They also needed more info from my PCP because she didn’t indicate which diet she had me on?! That’s the most basic part of the notes she would take, I’d think. How do you forget that?

Well, I internet, I’m going to bed. Have a good one. 😘

I’ve been sick since Monday night. Yuck. I don’t know if it’s Covid, don’t wanna know, but I’m probably going to urgent care tomorrow because this shit ain’t going away fast enough so I’m hoping they’ll give me an antibiotic. Enough already!

I did a lot of tidying in my art room. My desk was so full of stuff I couldn’t even use it. I used my mugs to hold markers and gel pens and whatnot, but even that wasn’t enough. I got more jars to use. It was pretty cleaned up but then I decided to bring all my game systems in and set them up in front of the little tv, so now it looks messy again lol. lots of wires. I’m happy with it so far, just gotta get more shit out of there and into the little storage building outside and it’ll all be good 👍 I got some string lights at hobby lobby a little while ago, I’m gonna have Denise help me put those up because I’m so damn short I can’t reach anything. It’s gonna look cool. This is also gonna be my movie watching and game room. I like small spaces for that kind of thing.

Otherwise, nothing else has really been happening except me waiting to hear back from Medicaid to see if they approved to pay for the surgery. I’m kind of on pins and needles about that. If they decline to pay, the lady who deals with Medicaid at the surgeons office said we would just address the problem and re-submit. I’m worried my doctor took shitty notes, she said that’s the number one reason they get denials. I don’t really know what kind of notes she took but I hope they’re good. If not, I’ll probably have to do the damn 4month diet AGAIN. I don’t wanna. But I’ll do what I have to I guess. Maybe I’m worried about nothing.
