Exclamation First Surgeon Appointment

Finally, after a year, some movement!

I've had all my Nut visits, my psych visits, I got my approval letter from the insurance company - and I just got my initial surgeon visit for next Thursday (July 17th) at 2:00 PM (I just got off the phone with them). I'm excited and nervous all at the same time! I feel like I just had a gallon of coffee (instead of my usual half a mug).

Congrats! I think we all have the excited and nervous feeling when the surgery gets closer and closer.
