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!!

      Same here.  My mind is a jumbled mess.  I'm no great philosopher, nor particularly educated.  Don't open my brain's closet, as all the junk might come tumbling out.

      Its been a long day.  I had a good trip with my husband, kind of sorry I had to come home.  I mean, I love my partners, but I feel overwhelmed by the chaos at times.  It was nice being able to just drive and talk for two days, and not feel rushed at meals.  Stopped at a buffet off I-40 in Oklahoma, and I was able to nibble comfortably for two hours!  And taking a shower in a place where I don't have to bother hanging up the towels for later   Its all about the little things....

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      Did go in my shop and fix my truck,new front brakes.I got that done before it got worse.Luckily I did not drive it when it first started.Drove my car to work instead

      Hey @KayC I need another tutorial session on this place with you.  Maybe we can talk on Discord or the phone and I can share my screen and do a few messages while Asking you some questions about how this place is organized. How are you doing in the real world?? ... "real world" ???  What is this "real world" of which you speak?
    • Michelle_S
      @VickySGV Ha!  Finally figured THAT out!  Though I hate to confess just how long it took me to figure out WHERE to begin typing that "@" sign.  (So I just won't confess it!  ... giggles) I am not sure how private this message to you is ... for example I was going to make a guess about your location (you say near a major earthquake fault) and while there are many places in CA which fit that description, I live near one as well. But I am not sure if being asked that in a public forum is something you want, and I don't know if I am talking publicly or privately right now.  (So, obviously, till I learn what is what, I treat EVERYTHING as public). I think Kay might have already told me about the "@" sign but I forgot ... Guess I have blonde roots ... (I'm actually a Brunette ... Grey but the box keeps me a brunette ... still the number of mistakes I make and how slow I am with learning things constantly reminds me that I must be blonde on the inside!!  ... giggles)

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow

      To me loving myself means having the courage to live the way I want and to be me.     I hardly ever really like how I look but I feel good knowing I am trying to be the best version of myself that I can be. It is definitely a struggle sometimes though.  💗Cynthia

      I had a five hour road trip today.  I’m trying to grow my hair out so I just pushed it back with a pink hair band, lipstick and gloss, no makeup.    White spaghetti strap top, short black skirt, white sandals with pink toenails!  A couple of rings and bracelets, necklace and hoop earrings.   I felt like a hot mess but it’s my favorite way to travel!

      Glad you had a good day, @Willow Mine on the other hand sucked. I have been screwing up again, I even got written up. I may have to educate them on major depression and disability. not that it will work.    OH, well. May be another job I lost because of me. Yes, my depression is about down at the magma level   Kym

      This bag is really working out for me.  I had worn out the back on my yin-yang bag so I picked this one up.  It wasn't long before I cut off the flap on it and braided a hemp strap for it.  The zipper is the best feature.  I can spin the bag around and I'm not afraid of losing anything.  I've taught myself to keep all the essential things in it and nothing more.  Here is what made the cut:   Notepad Sharpie Ballpoint Pen Teaspoon Glasses Phone (most of the time) Wired Headphones and/or Bluetooth Carmex and/or Lipstick Flash Drive Current Braiding Project Wallet Hair Clip   And on my keys I have my one inch Swiss Army Knife with scissors and a bottle opener that I like using with mason jar lids.   I don't miss pockets at all now.  The bag is fun and practical.  I can set it on the ground to get everything off my body.  If I need something, I'm looking for a fairly large object.  I always have something to work on with the braiding project.
