18 weeks, the third beginning

Hello~
Sorry I didn't update last night. Too many work issues while I was out for the afternoon!
I had my appointment with Dr. T. He's happy with the results of the previous surgery so we talked about the next one. Yeah...! He's going to fix a few little "dots" on my right upper lid which should be easy. Then, he's going to fix the left upper with a skin graft from the other side of the lid. After that, he's going to get that little piece on the lower left up by the tear duct. He feels I have enough skin to do that now. He's not going to do anything with the right lower at this time because there is no extra skin over there. That was the one that he only removed the lower third of the reborn xanthie. The upper 2/3's is still there and noticeable to me but fooling around with it could cause my eye not to close because the lesion is still large. Okay. We'll leave that one alone for now.
My surgery is tentatively scheduled for May 19th at a hospital near here. He's pretty much booked at the surgery center until the end of June. I opted for the earlier date because I go away in July and I think 3 weeks was cutting it very close last time. I dont want it that close again. I did ask them to watch for cancellations at the surgery center for dates prior to June 14th. We'll see how that goes.
Anyway, we still have to get authorization from my insurance. The surgery lady told me they had another patient having xanthies removed but her insurance wouldn't cover it. I mentioned what my PCP had told me about mine being covered because they are caused by the metabolic disorder (genetically high cholesterol) and she agreed that could by why my insurance has paid. This other woman does not have cholesterol.
On another note, my daughter Samantha went with me for the appointment. I reminded her how much I missed her for the last surgery and told her I hoped that she could be here for this one. She says she will. (Yea!!!!)
I'll be back as soon as I hear from my insurance. As before, I will not be getting the pre-op stuff done until they approve it. If the surgery center opens up, I wont have to get pre-op done, as the one from December is still good through June. If I do have it at the hospital, I'll have to get it done. blah~
Here is a photo for today. Much better than a year ago!
Talk to you soon!
