Another GREAT day!

Today I decided that it would be best for me to stay in a hotel than the surgery apartment available. I am happy with my decision and think overall it will promote my healing because I will be very ZEN in a space that I have control over who comes and goes. I sent the last of what paperwork I needed to send before surgery. I am officially good to go!

I had a check list of things that needed to be done.

Medical clearance- CHECK

Insurance confirmation for agreement to pay for surgery- CHECK

Plane Tickets- CHECK

Hotel Reserved- CHECK

Transportation from Airport and back- CHECK
(The airport is 2 hrs away from where I am having surgery and I don't drive so this is VERY important)

Medical leave approval- CHECK


The office coordinator for my surgeon asked me about my letter and how many I needed post op. The first one is free and any additional letters are $20 a pop. I don't know how many to get because everything is pretty much changed. I said 3 but I don't think I need that many. Maybe I will only need 2. I guess I will get the 3 to be on the safe side. I also asked about getting a copy of the OR report and I was told I could get that most likely before I leave town after surgery and that would be free. For the state I was born in I need that to seal my records so I will definitely submit that along with my SRS letter. Im due for a new passport so I will use a letter for that too so I can just be done with that and not have to explain anything ever again!
It still doesn't feel too real but it's getting there! I am getting more and more excited I must say. I am starting to have dreams about my post op body and all the wonderful things that come with that for me.
