As I type this there are 31 days and 8 hours left to my surgery. It's so surreal. 5 months from conception to reality - I love how fast things can move. I am so excited that the 10 days that I have for reading week will be a time of rest and of change. It's hard to speculate how different I'll feel or look at this point, although those who have gone ahead of me with this surgery say it's going to be awesome. I have been thinking about this surgery so much. I just want for Feb 22nd to be here NOW! Although I know that this time of preparation is important. I feel like the time I have is long enough for me to prepare myself and short enough that I don't go crazy waiting. And it's been great anticipating this event with my dear friend (who will be saying bye bye to her boobies just 3 days before I will). I think this would have been a different experience if i didn't have the kind of support I have now with a buddy.
Speaking of support - my mom is coming to take care of me for 10 days. Although she doesn't really agree with the surgery (the timing mostly, that and she doesn't get why I would want to) she still wants to take care of me. I think I'm starting to appreciate more and more the idea of having her around when I'm recovering. I hope this will be an opportunity for her to really get why I am doing this and also a time for us to bond. We shall see how it goes.
my next appointment is on Feb 4th. And then after that the next time I see my doctor it will be in North York General for my surgery. 1 month. Wow. Wow.Wow. I cannot wait.
