Best Birthday Present EVER!!! (DATE!) (crosspost)

SOOO!!! Big news - I FINALLY got a surgery date! November 19th is the big day! My birthday is November 23rd, so this couldn't be better timing. Unfortunately, Vocation Rehabilitation in my county denied my application/whatever. They sent it to Raleigh for the slim chance it would be approved there. So, my parents are using a loan to pay for this. This will be, like I said, the biggest birthday present ever from them. Even though I am SO frustrated that I wasted three months on VR with no luck, I realize how blessed I am to have the family I do. So, it's a little bittersweet, but I am SO relieved I finally have a surgery date!!!!!!!!!!!

Your birthday this year will be the best one of your life because you are saving your life. Congratulations on your date.                                           Annie
