Updates on everything
One major change today is that dad's surgery was moved to tomorrow. At least we think it will be tomorrow. My parents went to Suds this weekend and were supposed to call the hospital this morning to make sure they didn't move the surgery again (originally it was Friday, then Monday, then Tuesday). I haven't been able to get ahold of my parents but I'm really hoping for dad's sake they didn't move the surgery again. It's so hard on him.
I read somewhere that the survival rate for bypass surgery is better than 98%. However, I won't feel better until I know he's ok. I really want this time, around the birth of my first baby, to be a happy time. My dad is such a great grandfather to my nieces, I know he will be with my baby too. I want him around. Ok, enough of that, I'm going to cry.
My mom just called. Dad is being admitted today and surgery is tomorrow. Gods I am so worried about him.
On another subject, we are having difficulty with my health care. This is upsetting me to no end. Basically I am no longer covered in Ontario because I haven't lived there for 3 months but BC has not seen fit to give me coverage either. So, eventhough I am a Canadian citizen and I filled out all the correct paper work (which either the military or MSP lost depending on who you talk to) I may have to pay for all my care for this pregnancy out of pocket. A more than huge expense we were not planning on. Fred is seeing what he can do about it at work today. He tried Friday but they were "looking into it". The problem is I am 38 weeks pregnant there isn't a lot of "looking" time left!
We also wanted to try and get back to Ontario sometime after the baby is born. However, it's really hard to go that far for that long when you have 2 cats and a dog. I'm not sure if we're going to be able to go or not. We can't really afford the $1,200 or more it would cost to board the three of them.
My contractions have been coming more often since yesterday. They are just "fake" ones but I wonder if this increase means anything? I have to make sure I get my exercises done today. I have to "turn" this baby as she is posterior.
A lot of stress. A lot going on right now!
