Well it was an easy drive to Toronto in the early hours of the morning...but man it was a tough drive home!!  All worth it though!  I have a surgery date of March 20th.  I'm starting Opti-fast on Tuesday (or Wednesday- depending on the arrival of the Opti) and it's full speed ahead! 

My surgeons name is Dr. Mary-Anne Aarts.  Has anyone had her or heard anything about her?  She seemed great and the little I did find online about her was flattering.  I was really nervous this morning but as soon as I found out who she was and met her that all disappeared!  Must be a good sign!
