After about a month or so of going back and forth with my insurance plan and what seemed like an endless parade of doctor's visits and tests, I finally received my authorization for GCS in the mail two days ago. It was such an amazing feeling, kind of like when the judge ordered my legal name and gender change about a year and a half ago. The day I received my authorization, I must have looked at it every half hour just to make sure it was real.
Now I am all set for my Valentine's Day surgery. And though I should be so excited that after many decades of waiting is finally coming to an end, most of my thoughts are mostly about the cost of the hotel for my sister, getting my leave of absence all worked out, and how long I will be out of work.
I am sure my feelings will change when I get closer to the GCS date, now 17 days away. It just doesn't seem as real as I think it should right now.
I was wondering if anyone else had similar feelings.
