18 Days And Counting Down To SRS

January 15 is on the way, and today was a last minute scurry for medical test info for Dr.B. One EKG and a blood sugar test, and a proposed letter to be sent by my doctor to say I am an acceptable risk for surgery all gotten into the works. With any luck, my health plan will have the information FAXed to Dr. Bowers by Monday, and that should be the last paperwork. I have to make reservations tomorrow for the post surgical stay near her office, but at this time of year, I don't see a problem there. I am actually a bit glad for the running around, because everything seemed to be going too smoothly, and with my life as it has been, stuff does not do that without a darn big payback, Some tests we thought had been done had not, and copies of tests I had requested a month ago were not forwarded, but now they are done and be evaluated to see if I am ready for the surgery.

At the minute I am in a bit of a haze, and don't feel anxious, but it is hard to believe the day is coming. I don't want to have to sign in here and admit it did not happen.

Oh, the money went in last week, so I hope they go it.

Congratulations, I have been following your preparations and was wondering (sorry for speaking of the female taboo) what the Dr's policy on weight was as I have an issue with that and what you did, if you had to do anything to prepare. Love Lacey

Dr. Bowers ideally wants you to be 210 pounds or less. I am 235 and I have paid an additional fee for being overweight. She will not operate on a person over 250#. I lost big time weight in 2008/9 when I began recovery from alcohol abuse (I had been 298#) but have bottomed out at the 230+ for a couple of years, and can't seem to break through the floor on that. I will be 65 in just a few days, and would rather spend the money just to get the job done. I may need later surgery on some loose skin which may be part of the deal. The other advantage will be that I can use a gym or swimming facility as well as my local hiking trails to keep working on the fat.

Great news, Vicky. The nice thing about being this hectic is that the time will seem to pass much faster. Kind of like those last couple of weeks before a major vacation. All those nice butterflies fllittering around in the stomach and daydreams on the mind.

I hope all goes well. You seem very organized, and that's a plus.

HUGS

Wow, Vicky!

Congrats! :D

I enjoy your input here so very much, Vicky!

I am so very pleased that you are pleased!

I wish I'd lived close enough to take you out to celebrate! I am sure a few others here would join in the celebration, too!

Will be thinking of you and sending my very best before, during and after your surgery!

Wow, lady! :D Wow!

With Love and Admiration,

Brad

Vicky, I am so excited for you--I guess we all are excited for you--and wish you a wonderful journey in this glorious step to womanhood. You have been a model for us all and I keep you in mind as I plan for surgery in a couple of years. I'll be anxious to hear from you following your recovery from surgery.

All the best, hon.

Hi Vicky,

Have been thinking of you daily, especially as the date gets closer!

I hope you are doing well during this time.

Please know I am thinking of you and am wishing you the very best!

I am hoping you will post here again, at least once (and more, I hope), before you surgery!

Just had to let you know you are on my mind.

You make such a difference here on Laura's and also in my own life. :D

I sincerely hope all goes well for you... always! :D

With Love and Gratitude to you, Vicky! :friends:

      It's good to hear some positive notes through all the negativity about at the moment. I am not religious but do see a lot of positivity in many things they do, outside of the normal media attention.   Tracy

      From what I understand, my GF's early life was influenced by supremacism.  She sniffed around the edges of a couple of groups, and ended up for a while as part of an armed communist organization.  Mostly, just looking for a place to belong, and something to struggle for (and against).  She's told me about some of it, no doubt just the heavily edited Cliff Notes version.  But she did say that hatred takes effort.  It isn't something you're born with, its something you learn or that develops, often through suffering.    I think perhaps it is easier for children of supremacists to leave and do something different than it is for people who come to it through their own experiences.  When they are shown kindness by folks who are different from them, it begins to crack the wall.

      I've come to the understanding that most Angry and Intolerant people are that way because they haven't discovered their True Self.  So they lash out at others instead of seeking internal discovery ... whatever that is.  So for me ... it is not a Surprise but a welcome Celebration of the individuals Humanity.

      Bravo! @Vidanjali!   Their objective is to steer 'the Youth' in a different (and more conservative/intolerant) direction, but they don't realize they will actually push them away and lose them in the long run.

      Me too @EasyE.  But we are ALL on our own unique Journey.  That's what makes it both Difficult and WONDERFUL. Your Journey is SPECIAL - Only you can experience it and appreciate it.  Speed On, Dear EasyE!!

      That's good, glad things will resolve on their own. 😉

      @awkward-yet-sweet, bummer about the road trip that isn't. Next time!   @KymmieL, good luck with the job hunting, you deserve it.   @Birdie, I'm happy for you that you have a new connection who seems so supportive!   @Ivy, enjoy!   The issue I referred to in my little grizzle the other day looks like it will resolve itself without conflict. Everything is good. 🙂

      One of the reasons that I hesitated to sign up to this forum originally was because I couldn't think of a femme name for myself. That stems from the fact that I wasn't seeking one, and still don't, although lately I have become a bit curious.   My username has geographical and astronomical connections. It is an indigenous word that describes the Southern Cross constellation.

      Again, thank you for these posts @Sally Stone. As a person just embarking on their own exploration, seeing through an eagle’s eye is invaluable. I can understand the desire to compartmentalize. I’m coming out at 47 and have several military affiliated friends. I never served myself but know them via hobbies we share. I’d be nervous about coming out to those whom I didn’t know very well, but some I do know better are openly ‘queer’. Meeting these people definitely challenged my existing stereotypes about the military in a positive way; more regarding those who comprise the services as opposed to stated protocol/mission.
