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!!

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      It is 5 posts for PM's from Members, but you can receive and respond to PM's from Moderators or Administrators before then.  This one is post #3 for you.

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Oh I'm wearing a blessed girl t shirt and blue capris. Nothing special today. It was just doing nothing day and feel guilty about it.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them.

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up. 
    • Ashley0616
      Sorry I have been absent a lot but I do read your posts though. 
    • Ashley0616
      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol. 
    • Ashley0616
      I understand. I have the opposite problem. I'm really tall, my feet are size 13, I don't have any curves mostly but I do have breasts so at least I got that but I get stared at. I have tried dating to men I'm just a trial period and none of the women want to date me as a trans woman so I'm just stuck being single. I do have one friend and that's it. I'm right there with you about not being able to work. I haven't been able to come up with the money for any surgeries. I have a wealthy dream and disability IRL. If you want I can chat with you. 
    • KayC
      Will do @Michelle_S  sending you a text soon.  My apologies for not being in touch sooner
    • Ashley0616
      try to send me a message about it if you want.

      Not sure I could handle 4" heels.  I do have some 2" ankle boots though.

      When I got on HRT people remarked on how happy I was.  I had insisted that I was happy before, but now I realized I only thought so.
