    its happening!

    So after several major hurdles with the bank, the local medical community, and the Coast Guard, and a few rescheduling drills... I'm on the books to go see Dr. Zukowski in Chicago for FFS on November 17th. Barring any major issues with my pre-surgical screening, which I have no reason to think there will be, I'll be driving to Chicago on the 14th with my mom for 2.5 days of sightseeing and pizza, followed by 8.5 days of swelling, pain, and hopefully a successful procedure. I don't think I'll be doing much posting during recovery, but I'll try and report back as soon as I can.

    This will be my first surgery, and my first permanent physical change as part of my transition aside from what hormones have done so far... I scared out of my mind, excited, and thankful its coming so soon so I don't have to worry abut it for much longer.

    Wish me luck!!!

    AHHHHHH!!!!

    Go Jane! So excited for you and so soon too.

    Yeah, not all the doctors in the world could fix my face, so I won't ever try.

    Hi Jane....just came up for air.....great news! You'll be fine. Yes it is scary, but wow, how exciting! Very short term pain (relatively speaking) for loooooong term gain. Like all else you have done along your journey, you've got this.....sending you hugs and positive energy. Will chat soon via PM.
    Seize the day. Life is short, and you're dead a long time...just sayin' ...

    So happy for you Jane. I know you will be happy. Know Dr. Z personally, and you are in very good hands. He can be rough or brusk at times, but he truly cares about his patients. His staff is first class and will make your stay as carefree as possible.

    Hugs and Luck,

    Barbara

    So happy Jane. Hope all goes well for you.

    Had a friend last week was to get FFS, checked in and doctors checked her out again. But she had a bout of Bronchitis and anesthesiologist said to wait. Now she doesn't know when she will get re-scheduled.
