Got my Date!!!
Well, after spending most of the day on the phone with the office, I have a date!
January 28, 2009 is the day I will be switched! We will go down to Atlanta on the 22nd (Th.) for my pre-op education class. Then I have Fri., Sat., and Sunday to roam around the city and enjoy some things. Monday, I meet with the doc, then do the pre-op testing at the hospital, get my picc line put in on Tues., and then I have to be at the hospital at 6:30 a.m. on Wed. morning. Surgery is scheduled for 8:30. I believe I am his 1st that day, which suits me fine.
I do have some foot work to do though, before surgery. I have to have my cardiac and pulmonary clearances updated before surgery. I have to have another EKG, chest x-ray, and some additional blood work done. All this is because while I waited and fought BCBS, some of my tests aged out. So Friday and Monday, I will be working on those things. We have to so much to do before we go! I am so GLAD I don't have time for the 2-week freak! Or, in my case, 3 (before we travel). I know me well enough to know that me being busy is a GOOD thing!
I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you at the next meet-up if you come - I know it will do me good and help me get my head straight!

It will be fun to see you at the next meetup. You will be beaming I am sure. I want to say the hardest part is behind you and I suspect it is. But you will still have a lot of work after to get to your best.
