I GOT MY SURGERY DATE!

OH MY GOSH.

So as some of you may know I went to see my surgeon today to schedule my surgery date. My nurse and the scheduler both said that I'm looking at a late August / early September date. THEN, when my mother and I sat down with the scheduler (her name is Sue), she told me that my surgeon does the surgery on Monday's and he's booked until late September.

​I was devastated.

BUT THEN... She said that he is taking an "on-call" weekend (Thursday-Sat/Sun) and asked if THURSDAY, AUGUST THE 20TH WAS OKAY!!

Is this lady trying to play with my emotions?!? OF COURSE I said yes! Haha. I am so beyond excited and this all feels so surreal. My journey has been short so far, but I am fully prepared for this life-changing operation.

Just wanted to keep you all updated.. so yeah.

God Bless Everyone!!
