Nervous and Excited
I booked my top surgery today. I was pretty calm when I called, but I got the ol' stomach full of butterflies afterwards. (Actually, I'd never felt the sensation that term describes before today, nor do I entirely recall the emotion associated with it.) They're letting me reserve July 7 and are going to try to get my insurance to front the money so I don't have to. It's nice that even if I do have to pay up front they're not going to make me wait to get in the queue just because of that. Last Friday when I called, they said I wouldn't need another consult, but today they wanted to schedule one just to be safe, since I'm not going to go through with top surgery if they no longer recommend me for peri. Realistically, I think I'd do it even if I knew I'd need a revision, but I kinda just want to hear that the recommendation hasn't changed. So I have another consult on April 20. It'll be a good excuse to visit friends near Baltimore anyway. They started giving me all this info about when to show up on the day of surgery (8AM) and when to get surgical clearance from my primary care doctor (June 16-19), but then I reminded them they could give me that info in April in person.
I have a lot of other stuff I want to write about, but I'm a little short on time and should sleep instead. I swear I'm going to catch up on this thing soon. I'm finally finding video games less compelling and can see a world beyond this obsession just around the bend.
