Exciting news! Ottawa Civic Hospital called this morning. I missed the call but when I called back and left a message she called me back fairly quickly. Apparently OHIP requested they contact me regarding the surgery. Initially she told me I needed to come in and have an educational seminar and learn more about the surgery as well as bring more information about myself. She also told me I would have to attend 4 workshops as well; one a week for four weeks. Initially we were going to set up an appointment for Dec 18th and I knew this would be hard for my boss to let me do since at this time of the year I'm seriously needed for work but she also offered me an appointment for January 20th. I wasn't overly thrilled with the need to go back and forth 5 or six million times so I started to explain my story and told her my BMI as well as the fact I had already gotten an appointment for both a sleep study and with Dr. Graber in Utica.
Well, low and behold she put me on hold for a bit and came back on telling me it was a total change of plans and that because I was a special circumstance that I would be immediately seeing the doctor, Dr. Dent, and discussing the state of my health and so on and whether or not I should continue with my plans for out of country surgery or whether he can do it for me or not. It sounded like they were 100% behind my going to see Dr. Graber. So, I have an appointment in Ottawa January 20th at 6pm. Anyone want to go with me?? I've never driven in Ottawa! lol
I'm excited but scared to be excited. I don't want anymore bad news!!!! I am thinking positive as much as I can but I do not want to ginx myself at all! I cannot believe I finally have word and things are moving again. I may not have any answers but it feels like someone cares again!
So busy today but will share more again soon!
