We grabbed lunch, did some shopping and grabbed a long walk, which was easier than yesterday. Little pieces of normal are coming back. I hope and pray I can savor each one of them for the rest of my days.

I actually wasn't sure if I wanted a Ross until I read his paper. I had heard of Dr Stelzer too, but I was just so impressed with Dr El-Hamamsy on paper and in videos that he was who I wanted to talk with initially. When I had a zoom meeting with him I just knew he was my surgeon. I had met other surgeons, but with Dr El-Hamamsy I just felt a trust and confidence with him I hadn't felt so strongly with other surgeons I had spoken with previously. I just felt safe that he would do what was best for me. He is also amazingly down to earth for such an accomplished surgeon.
I didn't meet with Dr Stelzer but have heard wonderful things about him, as well.
PS, glad you won't be wearing women's clothes. I'm getting a visual of it now! 🫣
