TCQ - Blog Entry #3 I have a Date...

So I got good news. Even thought I don't have a surgery date yet but I know it will be soon. I'll be leaving this upcoming Sunday Oct 17th to the Dominican Republic. And I meet the doctor the next day. We've talked plenty of times on the phone. But finally I get to see the face. And we will be setting up all the appointments for the exams and hopefully he'll give me a date. That might be too much to ask. The nerves are non-existing right now but I know all will change soon.

I've read somewhere or heard that it wound be good to bring little gifts for the nurses. So I got this small make up bags from target for only a $1 each and I got a small set of lotion and body spray, all for $3 per package, and also I got a nice tide for the doctor. I think they’ll like it.

I’ve been preparing my self for this trip for a while. I got everything I think I would need for the hospital and my stay there. Granny Panties (big ones so they wont bather the wounds) Night gowns for the hospital, baby wipes for the days that won’t be able to shower, slippers, chapstick, lotion, Listerine strips because I know I probably wont be able to brush my teeth right away. I thought of bringing my ipod but it my get lost so I’ll just bring a book or something just in case. Hoping I get to sleep most of the time. And for the rest of the time, I got shorts and some t-shirts for the run around because in very hot there in the Caribbean.

The official countdown starts now. Wish me luck and please keep me in your prayers. I will keep you updated.
