After 172 days since I booked my surgery we have arrived at the day! I can hardly believe it, it feels so un real, that day I have longed for for so long. I am 2 thirds of the way through my preparation treatments with one more element at 3 am then the taxi is collecting us at 5.15 with a view to arriving at the hospital around 5.45, I hour to get checked in and my surgery at 8.15 hopefully. There are three of us having surgery today but I am seemingly the only one using the recovery suites which is excellent really as we have the place to ourselves.
The number of messages I have received today wishing me luck and sending love has really overwhelmed me, I have said it before but I feel so blessed to have such lovely friends and so many of you. If I get chance I’ll do another post before the surgery but if not thank you all for your support over the last 9 months, it has been a roller coaster of a ride and I still can’t believe it’s happening, my dream of at last being the person I want to be and should have always been is coming true today!
