I arrived at his office with much hope, fear and anxiety! I did make it into the February meeting afterall...and they decided to go ahead with surgery. So, not the answer we ultimately hoped for, but still, it's an answer. Dr. Akhtar said that the surgery will be done within 3 months.
Everything is in the hands of the Edmonton team of surgeons now. It is out of Dr. Akhtar's hands. So, I hope they set a date soon! I need to wrap my head around a date and prepare for it. Plus those summer plans are still on hold... Of course, surgery is my #1 priority...but if summer plans can still work, that would be sooo nice...especially since we booked an insanely cheap flight to Ontario...if we need to cancel it will go into a credit account, so no problems there. We couldn't pass up the deal. One way, Saskatoon to Toronto...get ready...$34!!!! Unreal!!!! Even with taxes, the tickets were only $80 each. Wow. So, I really hope we can use them!!
But alas, I am not in control. As Dr. Akhtar put it, I need to view this year as "the year I got fixed". Sounds like I'm a dog that is getting spayed!! hee hee!
So, surgery is my focus. Then it will be done and over with, and I can move on...
I will post as soon as I hear about a date.
Happy Easter!!!!!!!
