YIPEEEE - meeting the surgeon
Wow - I was not expecting to hear back so fast. I had my last pre-op appointment on Tuesday and got the call today - meeting with the surgeon (Dr Aarts) on July 5th. That's only 2 weeks away!
The woman who booked the appointment with me also advised that the Dr is booking surgeries about 30 days from when she meets with patients.....that would fall around my birthday - Aug 1 - what a great gift. I was hoping to get surgery over the summer but I didn't really think it would happen, now fingers crossed that everything continues to fall into place as it has so far.
hope to be with the others on the bench before summer is out.....
