Tomorrow's the day!
I have my 1 on 1's tomorrow. I am so glad the day is finally here! I am excited and a bit nervous. I hope everything goes well. I found out that the bloodwork I had last week showed my Vit D is back in the normal range. It took 5 months and a big dose increase for the last 8 weeks, but I did it!

Hi all! Everything went great yesterday! I really liked all the team members I met. I passed through to the next stage and they said I should expect to have surgery no later then the end of March! I am so excited and nervous! I am so glad I pushed to get everything done that I needed to do to prepare. Just waiting for my OTN appointment date.
