Two More Hours In My Day

It's 4:45PM out here on the western coast of the U.S.. For the last three months, this has been the time to drop what I have been doing, and perform a post surgical procedure well known by Postie's -- Dilation! I saw the clock a moment or two ago and almost automatically reached for the necessary items for my afternoon dilation session, and then it hit me. Today is the 91st day since I started the ritual!! I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS SESSION ANYMORE!!! Yes, I am shouting about it!!

Effectively this gives me about 2 more hours in each day. I can plan bigger chunks of my time, and do some more intricate hobby work. I do not have to stop a task in mid stream, clean it up, and all sorts of other stuff. The time with the dilator has only been 15 minutes per session from Dr. Bowers' instructions, but its clean up time for the dilator, my bed, the washcloths, rubber gloves being trashed, as well as the time spent doing half jobs of other things is over. 180 hours / 24 = 7.5 days of time. OR 1/12 of my time since surgery. OK so I am goofy just now, but it is another milestone never the less.

I can only guess at the depth of your joy. The time required with a wife who needs my help may be a reason to not go forward to a complete SRS. I can't do it now but at 64 i'm still young.

Hugs,

Charlie

      Even with the court ruling, the problem is that many of the insurance companies continue to have exclusions for everything unrelated to a vaginoplasty. For folks who are transgender females, we still get no protections to ensure we can get electrolysis (other than for genital preparation prior to vaginoplasty), voice/speech therapy or surgery, facial feminization procedures, or body contouring. There are many components that go along with managing our dysphoria. When the government mandates all of these measures, then I will say it was a victory.   I am still worried that all of the progress will be eradicated if the election goes poorly in November.

      I have gotten compliments almost always from women. It feels nice.

      I feel like some things are supposed to happen, but not everything is like that. You have those events that are (at least similar to) fate, but what you do from there determines a lot as well

      I always picked the female character and was mad when there wasn't a choice.

      I came up with a new strategy.  Replace the good 2 year old car we bought used with something that suits me. New or used but has to suit me this time and I’ll hang on to the old ford as long as it starts and runs for going to work when wife needs @ car.  Oh and yes she could drive the ford too, she’s done it many times in the past.  Movable pedals and seat combine to get here where she needs to be.  Now I just have to sell her on that idea.     now starts the search all over again but I can double my top range!

      A frequent adage heard in 12 Step recovery circles -- Shit Happens!!  A little rougher version of FATE!!!

      Sup singly, a superintendent prevented a student within the transgender community from changing current name, to the new name in which the student identifies with, I don't know how far back this story goes, but if you Google it under Oklahoma along with "student name change" the article should pop up. I'm not transgender, but I can relate to the process of legally getting a name change done, it's a lot of paperwork from court, a lot of traveling, and expenses depending on the laws from each state.

      No one seemed to pay attention to me other than a young woman who complimented me on my skirt and an older gentleman who smiled at me as we passed each other.

      Wow, I guess it’s the dat to be in trouble.  I’ve been hit twice by the ASM today and it’s my day off.  Why didn’t you, followed latter with a where is the.  Made me realize that I do t want to continue working long enough to pay for it. I guess I’ll just to have to stick with my 20 year old car for now.   I suppose sooner or later only one of us won’t be able to drive anymore.  Since I am older you might think it would be me but at this time i am the one that does all the driving except when she goes to church or the store when I’m at work.  She hasn’t driven anywhere since February and hasn’t driven more than 10 miles in perhaps a year.  Yet the “good” car was purchased for her not for me because she couldn’t drive the Jeep which we bought strictly for her because she wanted it.  But it turned out I was the one that really liked it.  Can’t win.

      Had one like that one time that would bite you on occasion.  Got rid of that thing quickly.
