I understand small town! I grew up in a Dutch farming community (I was one of the non-Dutchies) in Southern Ontario.

We drove a family friend to her appointments and surgery in 2008 in Michigan. I don't remember who her surgeon was though. I can still remember the waiting room at the facility.

Things were crazy back then with OHIP approval for OOC surgeries. I literally applied, was approved and had my surgery within less than 4 months. Looking back I can honestly say it was too fast. I was not required to do anything in preparation other than my initial consultation with my surgeon and then blood work, bone scan, chest xray for the surgery.

They do things in a different order at St. Joe's. Meeting the surgeon i the finish line for us.
Once you have your next round of appointments you will be flying through.
