Tomorrow evening I leave for Ottawa to visit Dr. Rahal's clinic for a HT on Wednesday, April 4th 2007. Dr. Rahal looked at my photos and reccomended 3000 grafts during an online consultation. I am looking to possibly fill in as many grafts possible in my front 1/3 maybe close to 4000. I will write more about my journey when I return. I will be staying at the Days Inn Ottawa Airport and expected to arrive at Dr. Rahal's office at 7:05 am to sign consent forms and for the pre-op consultation and rest of the day will be surgery.

It is only an hr and half flight from Philadelphia to Ottawa and I am expected to arrive at 7:30pm. I plan to check out downtown Ottawa and eat at one of the restaurants in the market area. I figured it will keep my mind of the HT and help time go by. I know I will be anxious and excited at the same time. It wont be easy to sleep tomorrow night.

I want to thank everyone on this forum for the support especially Bill. We had a good time at dinner on the past Thursday night. He brought along his wife and my fiance' joined as well. He was able to answer all of my questions and concerns about the HT. I asked if he would be willing to come over after I return to take a look at my bloody scalp and take some pics. He said he would be glad to stop by. Its nice to have someone with HT experience nearby who can help me out with the post op advice especially if I feel something went wrong.

I will post my pre-op photos.

Good luck, Dr. Rahal is a very good doctor and I am sure you will be happy. I am looking to have a procedure with him soon, I was also quoted 3,000 grafts for the front to add onto my 2,000 I had 18 months ago from Dr. Charles. Best of luck and looking forward to your pictures.
Also, did you have to get a passport to go to Canada?

Thank you for your support!

I just posted all of the pics I took last night. I am brining along my passport just in case for back-up but a drivers license should be good.

I just checked the weather in Ottawa..snow on the day I return. I hope it dont get me stuck at the airport!!!
