Surgery date is confirmed

Yes! After a huge woohaa on the kiv postponing of the op date by prof vasala, they finally decided to proceed with the surgery as planned. What a huge relief... And my application for financial assistance is also approved by the medical social worker. So from now on, the fees after subsidies from the government, there is still an additional 80% subsidy from the medifund. So for yesterday psy appointment at Nuh, I only paid $6 for the consultation fee. Of course, if they have approved it earlier, I will be able to save more than 1-2k on the pre op investigations charges though. Watever, better than nothing right.
Yesterday psy appointment is quite interesting o, it is actually a standard protocol for all donors to go through a psy assessment to deem whether they are fit to consent to the surgery, not because I have any mental problems ( in case you are wondering). The psy dr asked me a lot of questions and even tested my short term and long term memory. I still remember the 3 words apple table pen. ( I am quite afraid that I will forget n keep repeating it in my mind while the dr continue to ask tons of questions) the dr is very nice n friendly though, so the assessment went very smoothly n of course, I am deemed fit for the consent of the surgery. Now I am only left with the ethics meeting on my birthday, a appt with my surgeon dr tiong cos he haven decided on which kidney to take yet, an appt with a independent kidney dr and a dentist. I hated dentist all my life, hope that he won't force me to extract my left embedded wisdom tooth pre op... Cos there a tini winy decaying part in the embedded portion. Lol.

I missed my babies +++ cos they are now staying at my mum's place from mon to sat as I am working. So here are 2 cute pics of them.
