I have my surgery date!
FINALLY I HAVE MY SURGERY DATE!!! I am so excited, and somewhat petrified. I will be having surgery on August 22, 2017. Dr. Timothy Jackson is scheduled to do it (but apparently it could be any of the surgeons on the team at TWH).
So it is very real and very overwhelming now. I am hoping for a cancellation as even a week earlier would help me out. I have to be in full form and in full swing to return to work in a crazy stressful 4th quarter starting October 2nd.
Nonetheless, it is happening. What a way to start the weekend!
