Appointments, appointments

I got a call on Monday from Toronto General Hospital saying that I have a pre-admittance appointment on October 29, and I am supposed to come in with my insurance info, any medications I'm on, etc.  I kind of freaked out when I got the message, because it sounded like they wanted me to come and have the surgery on October 29.  So I called back right away in a bit of a panic, but found out that it's just for mountains of paperwork and bloodwork and other administrative details, and my surgery is still as planned on November 12.  The lady on the phone seemed surprised that I was so surprised, and she said, "didn't anyone tell you about this?".  Ummm... no!


That's when I realized I need more info.  The control freak in me has risen to overdrive, and I want to know all about everything I'm going to do.

So I called Dr. Hofer's office and made an appointment to see him on October 20.  He's going to take pictures of my boobies so he can make the foobies look as much like them as possible.  And I'm going to ask him a mountain of questions again, including, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY BELLY BUTTON?!?  I read online that belly buttons get sliced in DIEP procedures.  Which, when you think about it, really isn't a big deal.  But I just didn't know about it.  So I freaked about that too.  Apparently they make you a fake one in the surgery (fake belly button = felly button, kind of like fake boobies = foobies).  I have half a mind to ask them to not make one, and then I could go around telling people that I was immaculately conceived.  But I think the giant scar across my abdomen would give me away.

In other news, you'll see that I've added a countdown thingy over there to the left.  At the time of writing this, my boobies have 33 days and 6 hours left to live.  Any last requests, boobies?

    You're hilarious, Ave.

    But I like the idea of faking your immaculate conception. You might be able to make some money off of that somehow.

    Really, this is quite the opportunity you have here. You get to remake your torso in whatever fashion you want, it sounds like. If you were a different person (say, one of those BM freaks -- and I say freak with lots of love) you could get some pretty wicked body mods, I'll bet. Two belly buttons? why not!

    as for last requests.. just try googling "fun things to do with your boobs"... or wait, maybe don't. if you do, as i did, you'll find such gems as, "Cover them with paint and make prints." and "Make them talk". Good luck with that.
