| A Woman's Intuition As I walked down the road to ultimately having the body I so dearly desired, the need to pay attention to my innermost feelings was paramount. Something inside had compelled me to journey to this pivotal stage in my life. Sometimes I felt like I was just along for the ride as things fell in line and I inched closer to realizing my dream. Of course there were other times when I felt like I was up against the wall. Ultimately, paying attention to my inner feelings guided me when I was riding high or when things seemed desparate. The new year only brought more anticipation. I was eager to finally get a date for my surgery. January 10th seemed like any other day as I made my way to work. As that Friday morning progressed I began to feel nervous. My stomach had butterflies and I had goosebumps on my arms. I just had this strong feeling that I was going to hear from Montr�al that day. Where this feeling was emanating from perplexed me, but it made me anxious nonetheless. I returned to my office shortly after 10:00 am and sat down at my desk. I was so revved up from this premonition. I just had to take some deep breaths to calm myself. I sat there for a few moments relaxing before my cell phone began to ring. I just about jumped out of my chair. The incoming number had a Montr�al area code. I was so nervous I could hardly pick up the phone to answer the call. My hands trembled as I heard Claudette, from Dr. M�nard's office, on the other end. She was calling to see if I could take a cancellation date. I couldn't believe my ears. It all seemed so surreal. I asked her when the date was, hoping that it would be in the near future. She told me the date was March 31st of 2003 with Dr. M�nard. I had tears of joy in my eyes as I told her I would definitely take the date. Claudette told me I would be receiving all the necessary paperwork in the mail within the next week. I was completely stunned and exuberant. The date was just a little over eleven weeks away. The light at the end of the tunnel was finally visable. My intuition turned that day into one of the most memorable of my life. I had learned that some things are worth waiting for....and soon.....I would find out that some things just can't wait!
