Can You Say, "NUTS"?

A view of the Chapel
which was right
across from our room

We're baaaack!  The retreat was terrific..  So peaceful.  I really got alot out of it and I am glad that we went.  I guess I've needed the break to energize me because it's been absolutely crazy around here since we've been back.  This past weekend we had finals for some of our classes (the Deacon "reserves"), the remaining finals will be taken next month.  And Holy Week is coming which means there are Masses to be planned, programs to be designed and printed - add into that mix meetings, practices and our GrandAngel and I can say that I have no idea which end is up!  With exception of our retreat, I have had my handy Ipod with me to keep up with all of you!  I may not have been commenting (my damn fingers are too big to type on that thing) but I've been with you in spirit - and I've taken all of YOU with me in prayer during our retreat...

OK..  where did I leave off..  Oh yeah, NUTS!  We'll know Friday if I'm certifiably crazy or not.  Yup, I did it.  I broke down and called the insurance company AND a Psychologist and my psyche evaluation is on Friday.  Funny thing is, for so long I didn't have any Psychologists - now I seem to have two.  Sigghhhhh...  Here's the story.  I was making calls, and the fist office I called I had to leave a message.  I left my message, number, yadda, yadda....  Then called the next number on my "list".  The second office seemed to work out, they accept my insurance, seemed nice enough, so I made the appointment.  I get a return call from the first office yesterday afternoon saying that I have an appointment with them at the end of the month!  I need to call them...  So my last two official "things to do" will finish up by the end of the month!  Friday is my appointment to see if I am NUTS, and the 29th is my appointment with my NUT - (Nutritionist)!  We're almost there!

I do have a question though that I hope you might be able to answer....  I've called the Insurance Guru at the bariatric office and she hasn't gotten back to me yet - I think another call is in order.  Anyway..  Due to prior commitments, I have not been able to attend the "Support Group" meetings the at Bariatric office offers.  They're offered every second Wednesday evening of the month.  I would like to attend, but it hasn't been possible for me to do so.  Do you think this could become an issue when it is time for me to submit everything for insurance approval??  I've checked our policy requirements and nothing is written about "support group" attendance.  I've also called the insurance company and she basically said that whatever is written in the policy requirements is what is required (no help....)  What did you have to do??  Waddya think??

Have a terrific day!

Until next time!
