....until my surgery........

It's becoming VERY surreal to me now.........

I just confirmed our Hotel room at the Marriott in Miami.....

And we've bought panty liners, feminine pads, Surgilube, stents (dilators.....did ya know that they come in colors?), wipes, anti bacterial soaps, half a dozen new night gowns (snap front type...) crossword puzzle books......and lots of other cool stuff...

We'll rent a car to drive there so we can carry all of our stuff....

Am I scared?

Well, once on a mission in Viet Nam, the pilot asked me if I was scared....

I said "Naw"......

He said "Only a dang fool wouldn't be scared out here!"

So, yeah, I kinda feel an apprehension...

But, We're ready!

You better be stopping at my house on the way down for a drink, or maybe dinner. Mojo misses you very much.

plus, please send me the hotel info so I can make plans to get down there and see you. it's an hour drive so I can come a few times.

Hi Dee Jay,

You know how it is driving in Florida, every mile on a perfectly straight highway, a sign will read, Miami 350 miles, Miami 349 miles, Miami 348 miles and that will seem like it takes 38 days to get there. I think you should get rid of your clocks and concentrate on taking care of yourself.

Be careful and don't forget to get plenty of rest before you go.

Love to you both.

Hugs!

Dreams do come true when you make them. You worked long and hard and kept your dreams alive even when it got dark and stormy.

I am so happy for you both. I know what it means to you and what it took to get here.

Bet there'll be a ladybug somewhere in that car!

:D

Love

I would not say that they are counting the minutes but our living room wall is now a giant calendar with each day having a block for hours, within that block are minutes and within that block are the seconds - I drew the line at nano seconds!

At first it was fun but after a while watching two women standing facing a wall and making a mark every second can actually become tedious.

They are actually handling all of this pretty well - I'll let you know what happens when it gets down to under 6 days, 5 hours, 38 minutes and 17 seconds.

Just for fun I might reset the calendar!

Love ya,

Sally

It was when I purchased my feminine hygiene poducts that this became real to me.

You have to buy your own dilators? Huh.

All I can say with 11 days remaining is find distractions where you can. This waiting occupies the mind something fierce...

With all that time on your hands, you have a bathroom, sink, and tub to clean, and a front room carpet and two chairs that need shampooing!! Its something to fill in that time and keep your from worrying. Oh yeah, the turkey roaster that has been sitting in the oven since Christmas could use a hauling out too!! :P

Lizzy read this and decided that something needed to be done about our couch and chair - they are both leather so she is heading to Texas to get a fresh supply of cowhide - direct from the source.

Love ya,

Sally

      Good morning Ash,    Welcome to TransPulseForums, I have a young neighbor who plays several brass instruments who lives behind my house. He is always practicing and I could listen to them for hours, well I guess I have listened to them for hours, and my favorite is when they play the low tones on the French Horn.    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone,    I had my first cup of coffee this morning with my wife, my second was a 20oz travel mug on the way to the airport. Once clearing TSA, I bought another 20oz to pass the time at the boarding gate. I’m flying Indy to Baltimore, then driving to Wilmington, DE for my last teaching engagement at the DE State Fire School.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      In my opinion, the gender neutral version of sir or ma'am is the omission of such honorifics.   "Excuse me, sir" becomes simply, "Excuse me", or better yet, "Excuse me, please."   "Yes, ma'am" becomes "Yes", or depending on the context, "Yes, it would be my pleasure" or "Yes, that is correct."   Else, to replace it with a commonly known neutral term such as friend, or credentialed or action-role-oriented term depending on the situation such as teacher, doctor, driver, or server.   And learn names when you can. It's a little known fact that MOST people are bad with names. So if you've ever told someone, "I'm bad with names", you're simply affirming you're typical in that way. A name, just like any other factoid, requires effort to commit to memory. And there are strategies which help.

      @KymmieL it’s as if our spouses are two sides of the same coin. We never know which side will land up. Loving or Disliking.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      almost 45 min later. Still in self pity mode. I cannot figure out my wife. I shared a loving post on Facebook to my wife. Today she posts, you are my prayer. Yet, last week she puts up a post diragitory towards trans people. Does she not relate to me being trans?   ???

      Hi Ash, Welcome!!

      Well we have the white rain, about 2 inches. Work is still terrible, with me making stupid little mistakes. Yet, to the boss it is the end of the world. Still on the hunt for another.   life just still sucks for me. I just wish I could be happy for a day. I'd even settle for a couple hours.   Kymmie
    • RaineOnYourParade
      no rain here haha   Got some tea, in my AP class where we're about to discuss the "pleasant topic of mass atrocities" -my teacher   The AP test is coming up soon, so hopefully I'll be able to pass that with good marks :)

      Good morning   It sounds like everyone either got rain or is about to.   Me too, we have a double red flag at the beach (which people ignore). Storms predicted, although yesterday they stayed north west of us, today they should slam straight into us.    it seems like every day my wife does a little bit more for herself.  She still has a long way to go to be fully recovered however.  Today’s coffee did not come in a pod but it is still a single. Grounds in a replacement for the pod. Less convenient but it is just as good.  Ugh, I didn’t use enough coffee.  I’ll know better next time.  But that’s why you need to use the real thing.   another shortened day today, which is fine by me, followed by grocery shopping.  Not doing the Costco thing, neither of us want that.  Coffee pods will be on the list.   adios amigos, hi ho silver up up and away   the separated and the end of every show but we’re always together again next time on their show when the Lone Ranger needed help.
