Paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork...

Wow, I really didn't realize that going on short term disability required so much paperwork. Authorization... certifications... notices... this form... that form. I got the list of the things I needed to do in order to receive my short term disabilty pay in the mail yesterday. I've been filling out and faxing forms for the past hour. At least I'm done for now, until my doctor signs my "Certification of Health Care Provider" form and sends it back to me so I can sign it and send it to my HR dept. Oh, and I have a 15 day window to complete all of it and turn it back in or else I won't get approved for any pay. That's why I started on it ASAP. Well... I would've started last night, but I wanted to fax things over when I knew someone would be in all the offices I was faxing to. Let's just hope my doc gets it done fairly quickly and sends it back to me soon. I see him next Wednesday, but that's only 3 days before my deadline to turn it in, so I'll probably call tomorrow and see if he got to it and when I should expect it back. The boredom of being at home all day is getting to me. My most exciting parts of the day are at 10am when The Doctors come on, and then around 5:30pm when all my family gets home. Soon, that will all change... my favorite parts of the day will consist of looking at my baby boy and changing him and playing with him. Memorizing every feature of his face. I just can't wait. 10 more weeks (or less)...
