The weighting is over…

Hey everybody…
I am so happy, relieved, thrilled, excited, and just plain greatful that on Friday the 13th of May, I received the BEST phone call. My phone rang around 11:30am and it was a 250 number I didn’t recognize. Every time I see one of those numbers I don’t know I immediately think “is this the call?” and this time it was.
“Hello” I answered.
“Hello, this is Ailsa calling from Dr Amson’s office, are you Kerri-Anne ” and I said “yes”

“Okay well, I have some information for you, are you somewhere quiet”
“Yes” – me
“I have a date for you”
“Really?” inhales as tears start to fall, My Mom looks at me panicked.
“September 12th at Royal Jubilee Hospital at 8:15am”
“Oh my god”
And then the rest was all those pre-op instructions like how to use the pico salax, and how to scrub from the neck down with those sponges and the clear liquid only diet for the day before the surgery. I’m glad I wrote everything down because the way my mind was spinning I could barely control the pen. The piece of paper was so messy I re-copied everything down on another piece because it was so hard to see through my tears of relief. Mom and I cried of releif on the way home. On September 12th I will become a new woman, my new life will begin. I will be reborn. I am so grateful that this is happening to me, and honestly I’m in shock. I still wonder if that call really happened!!!!!!
This call came at a very good time too. The day before I got the call, on the 12th of May, I went to see my family doctor. I had been having some hot flashes, raised temperature and my face was breaking out in zits like a teenager!! I was scared so I went to see her. She informed me that my hormones were out of whack and it’s from  my weight. Like always I cried and said “I’ve done all I can…Dr A is my last resort” She also told me that because of my weight it triggered Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, and that if I didn’t have something done I would probably either not be able to conceive a child, or find it difficult to hold on to a pregnancy. I was very very scared. I cried the whole way home. That phone call the next day saved me. I was in a very dark place after that doctors appointment. I know all of you can sympathize with that feeling of hopelessness, helplessness and neediness.
I thank all of you for being there for me, and with me on this journey because even when the day comes, the journey does not end…it’s merely beginning.
Oh and one thing you do on this journey is cry a lot…so bring kleenex wherever you go!!! lol
xoxo
