It's My Turn at Last! Got My Date!
congratulations and you were right in your predictions of when you thought you would be going. i am going in for the 4th of July.
i would make sure you have your pre-op appointment too. since i am going to have the surgery on Monday the 4th of July I had a tough time to get a pre-op date and time. after booking my flights, amanda from dr hong's office called and said I had to be there for Thursday the 29th. i now have to pay extra for a change in my fares. i think because it is a long weekend this has made things more difficult for me to get time.
Remember that there is a grant to assist with travel so that will definitely help defray costs.
congratulations again. when do you start optifast? i have found it not too bad and mix in half a stick of crystal light to the vanilla and they are tasty. found it difficult the first couple of days but then it is sufficient to get you through.

I start optifast on the 6th. Krista said she'd arrange the pre-op for the 21st, but we're leaving first thing in the morning on the 20th, so if I had to do it that day, I guess it would work out for an afternoon appt. It's too bad you got stuck over the weekend, or maybe not bad - you are going to be in Toronto and Niagara area. As a matter of fact, that sounds just wonderful to me!! I was really hoping to do a big of touristy stuff, like walking around Niagara on the Lake, and maybe visit a winery, but everyone I've talked to suggested I was pushing the limits, so I guess we'll just take it slow and easy. Keeping you in my prayers.
That is wonderful news. I am so happy you finally have a date. Thanks, everyone, for all the kind words and wishes. This really is hard to take in - it's really happening. I've booked flights - no one I spoke to thought it was a good idea to drive, so we did an about-face and decided to fly. I heard there's a beautiful botanical garden in Hamilton, so maybe I'll be able to take a little walk around there after surgery. Optifast starts next Wednesday the 6th, and surgery class is two days before that. Somewhere between now and then, I have to get things ready at work because I won't be there for school startup, or at least for the two weeks prior to startup. So much to do, so little time . . .
PS. I really appreciate everyone on this board. It's been so helpful, and comforting, and encouraging, and so much more!
