Justin, I'm glad that you have a surgery date, though it wasn't as early as you might have wanted. But, like you said, there is a silver lining in having surgery after his vacation. Hopefully he will be fully rested and ready to go.
And thanks for posting about his time off, I guess there go my hopes of having surgery ASAP as well. Though my desire for a quick surgery are based solely on my employers need. Maybe this means we will be having our surgeries close to the same time. I am hoping to hear from Dr. Fenk-Mayer soon, my profile is now up and ready to be reviewed. It would be great to meet you in person, even though the circumstances aren't the best.
I hope this extra time to plan, is worth the wait. And I look forward to hearing whatever good news you might have.
