I've been with the OH website, and the OH Ontario Forum for a year today. I guess that makes my timeline one year and one week from orientation in Ottawa.

Thank you to all the wonderful, helpful, kind and patient people who post here -- you make me laugh, you make me think and you help me realize that this long, long process is the time for me to get really clear on why I want this surgery and how sincerely I need it.

Time for some OH-ON-ONE-iversary protein.

Cheers!

Hi Marilyn, Congrats on sticking to being an informed participant in your journey. Not much you probably haven`t learned already from reading posts. By the time you have the surgical education class you will have to bring toothpicks to keep your eyes open as you will have heard it all before!
