I didn't expect this!!  I'm meeting my surgeon, Natasha Pereira-Hong, on January 9th! 

I honestly didn't think this would happen before March.  Audrey told me just before Christmas that the extra funding didn't come and I would likely have surgery in April.

Maybe it's possible that I will be having it before then????  I guess I'll find out next week.

Well ... how am I supposed to concentrate at work now! :)

Congrats!  The proverbial ball rolling down the hill is picking up steam!  You'll be in recovery before you know it :)

I just found out about my orientation happening on the 13th about half an hour ago too - so I'm just as excited as you :)

Congrats too!  This process has definitely been full of bursts and stalls but I can finally see a dim light at the end of the tunnel :)

Audrey told me the same thing then i got a call today to meet the same surgeon on the same day so I'm hoping for an earlier surgery day :)

Maybe some funding did come through?

That's awesome -- you'll have to post when your surgery is too
