Default To do list

Yeah, so I have realized that I need to start making up a list of things that have to get done before having surgery. So I can get them done as efficiently as possible, and so I don't forget anything important.

I would appreciate help from any of you who have had surgery overseas.

Once I have a prognosis and recommended surgery:

-Get a quote for the cost of surgery
-Contact medical loan company's for loans, or otherwise figure out where the funds are coming from (this needs a sub-list of it's own)
-Schedule surgery
-Arrange flights/hotels
-Tell my boss when I am having surgery (my boyfriend will have to do the same) & contact HR about leave time, and possible new position after coming back
-Send email to work department asking for donated leave time
-Talk to my doctors here about surgery, and what help they can give me before and after (including extra meds to take over)



Okay, and now it is late and time for me to go to bed. I will add to this list as I think of things.
