Title: Got my date
Post by: DeValInDisguise on August 28, 2008, 07:52:58 PM
So tonight I was driving my wife to pick up her car from the shop.  We were talking about taking martial arts classes and not really listening to the radio.  Then my phone rang.  It was Dr. Bowers calling to schedule my surgery.  While I was talking to her I realized the radio was playing "A Natural Woman" by Aretha Franklin.  The date was set for September 15, 2009.  Yay for me!

Congratulations! It is always great to get it scheduled.  I know that I had a significant mental shift once it was finally scheduled.  I am actually going to be having mine with Dr. Bower's the month before you.(August 9th, 2009) I will let you know if I learn anything from the experience that I think could be of specific help.  It seems like years away, but everyones says that it will come quickly.  Personally, I scheduled FFS with Dr. O for December 17th, 2008, to make the time pass more quickly....it gives me an intermediate date to look forward to.

Congradulations, Val! Dr. Bowers is who I am pretty sure I will have as my doctor as well. Though, not for a couple more years for sure. And, congradulations to you too, trbrink!

Dawn, plan way in advance if you want Dr. Bowers.  I was shocked when I finally had "everything together" and I was informed that she had a 13 month waiting list that was "growing everyday".

Congratulations Val! I'm so jealous. I'm still hoping I can save up the money for my FFS in January. I don't know when I'll be able to afford the final surgery after that.
