SRS in montreal
Sep. 10th, 2009 08:48 pmSo I'm scheduled for my op this September in Montreal and could not be happier. However, as each day passes I'm constantly inundated with different questions and what ifs, both from myself and from those around me.
SO I figured it best to pose some of these questions to those in the group in the know to alleviate some fears and tensions:)
My main concern is the travel issue. I have a loose understanding of the process of the operation and the first few days post op but I'm somewhat hazy on certain aspects. Will I be able to use the bathroom myself? I know the first few days are tricky but given the time that I'll be flying home(which will be 10 days post op) will I be able to use the toilet myself? What special arrangements should I make with the airline prior to actually departing on said flight? The folk in Montreal have been very accommodating with my influx of queries but some of their answers are unclear.
I understand that many of my concerns can and will be brought up in my meeting with my surgeon. But to save from going completely crazy I figured I'd ask.
I know this is all very rambly but any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks:)
