Anyone who’s following my journey to Toronto on dustin2TO.com must have noticed it’s now March 1 and I’m still not in Toronto. I wrote about setbacks a few weeks back that would delay my leaving for a few weeks and today those setbacks were dealt with.

I needed some surgery to remove a couple lumps in my chest, not the most glamourous think to talk about but something my doctor felt needed to be dealt with before I left. I had surgery this morning at around 11am here in Winnipeg and it was a great success. I feel really good now, but that might have something to do with the T3s. The doctor removed about 1lb of material - sexy stuff?

To say I’m relieved would be an understatement. They will of course send off the tissue just to make sure it’s nothing worse but I know in my heart that it’s nothing anything more than I reminder to take better care of myself.

With this now out of the way I can say for certain I will be in Toronto in the next few weeks. I have two follow up appointments in the next two weeks and then I’m gone. I will begin packing as soon as I regain use of my arms for lifting. Until then let’s find a place to live. I’m serious Toronto, if you know of an apartment within walking distance of Liberty Village let me know - if I move in the free burger offer still stands.

And to everyone who sent me notes of support over the last 24 hours I appreciate. The excitement for Toronto has really been renewed by having this surgery put behind me. I’m smiling from ear to ear. Have a great night.
