So i got my list of test to do today. My insurance basicly requires me to go to a different facility for every test rather than having it all done at fairoaks hospital which is where i am having my surgery and right next door to my surgeon.










I enjoy the computer and learning.
I love doing all the museums here in D.C.

    Surgeon: Osvaldo C. Anez
    WELL , Let me tell you about my surgeon Dr.Anez, I think he is the most wonderful person i have ever met. There is a kindness in his eyes that tells you he is genuine he was very upfront with me. Never rushed me took time to sit down and talk to me. We met in his office and spoke like people, not Doctor-to-patient, i appreciate that. I work in an environment that allows me access to OR nurses and Hospital Administrators at Fair Oaks all of whom have sung the praises of Dr. Anez. I have been told by many people from many diffrent place that i am in good hands. I was also told he is very respect by his peers and to me that says alot. So on top of being one of the most kind people i have ever met he is also a true professional. I feel that i have THE BEST surgeon in the business. As for his Staff, *applause* , they are beyond wonderful. They care truely. Gabi you know you are the best. Lisa i only met you once but thanks for making me feel comfortable. I cannot say thank you enough for all that you guys have done for me. P.S. And all this even before surgrey lord only knows how much i will love ya'll after i am on the down side.
