Title: I have my date - June 11!
Post by: ZoeM on April 03, 2014, 09:30:04 PM
It's really early - 1 year of full time is August 1 - but Suzanne gave me the date and I'm going to keep it.

Any of you girls heading to Brassard around the 11th of June?

Zoe Congrates on the date.

I know of one other girl that will be there the week after. I hope others will chime in.

If you need anything while here in Montreal give me a shout and can stop by.

You will enjoy your stay. Only thing is sometimes they forget about english and talk out in french. Just a reminder here and there lol.

Again Congrats and i wish you all the best.

Isabell

Oh Ps. time will be here faster then you think.

Congrats!!! That'll be around my 2-year mark. :) Let me know if you have any questions (or Isabell, she's very knowledgeable).

Thanks, folks.
Isabell, I might stop by regardless. Are you in driving distance?

Catherine - I will. Right now I'm mostly really excited now that I have a day though. It's gonna take a bit for it to sink in. :)

Hi Zoe, congrats!!!  I'll actually be leaving there about a week before you arrive, my date is May 21st, Suzanne just gave me my date around 3 weeks ago and it seems time is going by really quick right mow, I still have a lot to get done in 6 weeks.

I already said it on fb but congrats girl you earned it! I've watched you go from being scared to come out to your parents to living full time and beyond. Your journey has been fun to watch girl I wish you all the best on June 11 and beyond. :)

It takes about 30 min by car and hour by bus for me to get there.

I have stopped by and helped a few others that have came to Montreal alone. Always nice to have a contact if you find you could use anything or just a coffee visit.

That offer always goes out to anyone who travels to Montreal.

Congratulations Zoe -- even though it will be a total madhouse for the next two months!!  Remember to breathe in as well as out if you have time for it. Before you know it you will be an old "postie" yourself.

I'm flying in from Madison, WI. :)
We'll definitely end up in the recovery home concurrently. I'm easy-ish to recognize - you?

Hey, I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Brassard on June 16th, so we should run into each other there.  We are going to fly into Montreal on the 12th and I have to be at the Bed and Breakfast for prep on the 14th, going to the hospital Sunday night, the 15th at 7 pm.  I hope to see you there...:)

Hopefully, Tammy. :)

So, everything's (almost - stupid passport people don't accept anything) ready for my trip. Payments paid, paperwork sent, etc. Just 5 weeks till the big day... 4 if you count the trip I have (to New York) the week prior.

I'm so excited! Everything's so close now :)

Time will go by faster then you know.

One thing I just thought, pay for 1 extra affidavit (35.00 canada) I had to give 1 up for my Birth Cert. Reason I say this they take a little time to get them mailed to you. Just ask at the office the day you go over the wording the day before you leave.

My Dr Brassard GRS Surgery date is June 18th.  I'll arrive at Trudeau/YUL airport on the 16th and if all goes well, return home on the 27th.  Is pretty cool to have so many people on this board going at a similar time to the same Doctor!  I wish everyone well!
