So I Asked

Talked to my therapist on the phone today and asked her if she felt I was a good candidate for surgery and if so could she and my former shrink (they work out of the same clinic) work up a letter for me. Please remeber that she is not a true GT but has done a good job of working with me and a few others.

Her question was, what needs to be in it, I mentioned it in generalities and then told her I would bring up the exact requirements. Since she could not immediately put her hands on a copy of the SOC I told her I would take her one. Just before we hung up she told me that she would get with Dr. D (the shrink) and try to have it ready for my next appointment Feb 12.

Im so excited...

Ah considering I will be in Canada when I am eligible, I think its gonna be Brassard in Montreal. He is the one that BC health uses and they will be paying for my surgery.

Well I am getting my letter on my next appointment that just got moved to February 10th.

So we will all have those wonderful things lying about (framed and on the wall!)

I am paying for my own as well and as long as I have no money and no real prospects of getting any I might as well aim for Dr. Bowers as I can't afford any of them, why not, she's good, she's close and she is one of us!

Love ya,

Sally

Chiming in : my request letter wording:

My dear [your therapist],

After consideration as to surgical options for Sexual Reassignment Surgery, I have decided to place a letter on file at the XXX Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand. So this is a formal request for you to forward a letter confirming my condition as a male to female transsexual, and a candidate for SRS. I anticipate the earliest window for this surgery would be at least one year, and more likely at XX months. However, there is a waiting period so if you would please expedite this I would really appreciate it.

I would also like a copy for my files.

Here is the address:

XXXX

WORKED FOR ME!

I'm not going to have it on file with anyone yet, I haven't called Marci in a while and I don't want to just have it show up so my therapist is making it out "To Who It May Concern:"

That way I can send copies to everyone and ask them if they want to do one for free just to make themselves feel better!

Love ya,

Sally

Not above a slight - OK! Flagrant BEG!

OH GOODY!

That way we can just charter a plane for us all, have one LARGE room and instead of TV, bring in live acts for entertainment!

Gourmet food, back and foot rubs, fragrences, huggs...

AWwww....I can hardly wait!

But we'll have to schedule a stopover in Canada for Joanna....

Then.......Zooooooooom!

Dee Jay, I heard that with three orders you get an egg roll, so with four you can count on Chow Mein at least!

Always thinking about food. Dang!

Oh yeah, CONGRATS Joanna! Way to go, young lady!!

      It never occurred to me to be able to see them here in the south.   Maybe tonight if it's not cloudy.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.

      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
    • Susan R
      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @AmandaJoy, It’s a pleasure to have you join us here on the forum. It does seem much easier to suppress this understanding of ourselves until one day, it’s not. It all suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks. Those puzzle pieces all suddenly seem to fit and there’s no going back. Like you, I waited until I felt there was no other choice. It was now or never! Never having the opportunity to be myself in this world was not going to be an option.   Words of wisdom there. Many of us try to make up for lost time or try to get results faster than a cis puberty but it just doesn’t work that way as you’ve learned. It’s difficult waiting for the changes but the good news…eventually you’ll experience many of them and the joys that come with those changes are wonderful and exciting. But like most good things, they take time. And sometimes it’s helpful things don’t happen overnight. Especially if you have others that need time to adjust to your physical and emotional changes.   I wish you the best on your continuing journey wherever that may lead you. I think you’ll enjoy this forum as there are great resources, advice, and people here that make it what it is. Hope to see you around.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      I enjoyed my Saturday moka-pot coffee this morning while doing something I love: processing astronomy images.  I didn't stay up late to watch last night's spectacular aurora, but my all-sky camera did, taking pictures every minute.

      Good morning.    I did not try to see the sky last night.  We watched tv and went to bed.  Cooler but dry this weekend it was 58 when I got up this morning.  Sorry Kymmie, no chance of white rain here. Although there is always a chance of hail.  Fortunately, the storms stayed west of us and dropped their golf all size hail elsewhere.  I do feel bad for the people that got the hail as that was in a poorer part of the state.   Even the county we live in is quite large and has socioeconomic issues that range from wealth to below poverty.  Very few good middle class jobs and a number of them are closing their doors every year.  Most workers are some way connected to hospitality and travel.  We are beginning to see some internet based jobs as the latest under sea internet cables to South America and other places are coming ashore here.  But they are not connected yet.  We have a rail line but it stops at the innercoastal waterway. The bridge was damage in a hurricane and there just wasn’t enough traffic to justify Corman spending the money to fix it.  So it is permanently in the raised position.     @awkward-yet-sweet I’m glad you got to spend some downtime away from the every day at home.  I can’t imagine how a household that large operates.  And I do think you deserve an upgraded commercial kitchen.  But,  you wouldn’t all be able to live together if you spent money buying new to you things instead of fixing the old with so much talent at home.   Well, I hope to spend time creating the outline of my paper today.  I’m sure I will have to refine it a couple of times before it is completed.   enjoy your weekend    willow
