Surgery and Presurgery Dates!

Dec 02, 2016

This is getting real!

I have to go to Toronto on January 10th for my presurgery meet the team visit, and to get my 3 weeks worth of optifast.  I'll be staying with family members when I go for this visit, and will probably take the Greyhound bus, as I'm not brave enough to drive to Toronto in winter.

I'll be having surgery on February 1st, very early in the morning.  I managed to book a flight via Porter when they were having a two day sale and will be flying from the Sault to Toronto and back home again for only $240.00, which is an amazing price. 

I'm thinking of using airbnb for my surgery date because I'll have to stay in toronto for 4-5 days after surgery, but because my surgery is on a  Wednesday, I booked my flight for an entire week, so that I'll be flying in and out on a Tuesday (which is cheaper than flying on the weekend).

I'm equally excited and scared.  I've been having anxiety attacks about dying from complications to the surgery.  I'm sure I'll be fine though.  It's just fear of surgery. I've never had surgery since I was 3, and had my tonsils removed.  I remember being scared, lying on the operating table, and they put a mask over my mouth and nose and asked if I could count.  I said yes and they asked me to count, and I never reached 10 before I was out.  Then I woke up with a very sore throat and no memory of the surgery.  I guess if I could handle it as a toddler, I can handle it now, lol.
