Thank you for your update. Surgery, especially multiple surgeries, is a very difficult thing to go through mentally and physically. It is important for people to be able to access blunt and truthful discussion of peoples experiences so that they can make their own informed decisions for their bodies. Thank you for sharing such personal information. I hope the negative comments from ignorant people don't get you down too much. You did what you believed was right for you and there is no way you could have controlled for the effects of complications
I think your real journey through life - and not the manufactured one in your head - is yet to begin. I hope you are prepared for the realities behind the decisions you have made. I wish you well.
Thanks! I've been watching your updates as well, hopefully you're able to get it done this year! My biggest tip is have a mental health professional of some kind and/or a person in your life who you really trust and can be completely honest with to be on standby to listen and be there for you on bad days especially while you're in Montreal. Also pick out an uplifting tv show/ several movies you want to stream before you go... you'll be bored and stuck in bed for a while and need something to take your mind off of things.
