As you've probably guessed from the title, I'm going to have surgery. Don't worry, I'm okay, and I'm going to be fine - the surgery is for something that is very fixable, and much easier to fix since we caught it early in life. Q: When will the surgery be? How long will it take for me to recover? A: I'll be going in for the operation in a few months, and I'll be better very soon afterward. I'll post an update after the surgery. Q: What's the surgery for? A: Without giving away too much of my personal medical details, there's an issue involving my heart they're going to fix. Q: How are you feeling? A: I'm feeling fine now, other than a bit of shortness of breath at times. The surgery is mainly to improve my quality of life and prevent things from worsening. Q: Will this fix things? A: I hope so :) I've heard that this surgery is very effective. Any other questions you can ask in the comments!
