Worth the Wait

Dec 30, 2015

Well, my journey is moving along.  On Dec. 23 I was given approval by the Surgeon and given a surgery date of Jan. 28th.   I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present.   My Pre-Op is Dec. 31 and I meet with the Anisthisiologist on Jan. 4th.   Im so supper excited and so very nervous all at the same time.  I look back at all the changes I've made to get me to this point and look forward to all the changes in the coming years. 

It has been a battle to get to this point.  And without all the support from my family, friends and facebook group I might have decided to back out again.   Again I am so very happy that I changed from Humber to Guelph.   Each and every person that I have been in contact with in Guelph have made me feel even more comforable about my decision to have this surgery.  The information and support that the Nurse, Dietician and Social Worker provided was amazing.  I managed to lose 24lbs in the last 3 months but Christmas has come and put a little kink in the road.  But I'm back on track.   I will no longer hide from cameras becuase I don't want to see what I look like, I will be able to play soccer the way my head thinks I should but my body cannot do, I'll be able to play volleyball and actually move on the court to get to a ball rather than waiting for it to come to me.   I will be able to walk into a store and not get dirty looks because they clothing doesn't fit me or to be treated like a second class citizen purely based on my looks. 

The New Year is going to be such a great year.  It will have it ups and downs and the downs will only be on the scale.  Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year.
