My surgery date is set...


Guest

Recommended Posts

...the airfare tickets are purchased. Now I have to hold my breath and wait until August 3rd.

I'm cleaning, sorting and packing bit by bit to pass the time away. Prep the bed, clean the bedroom and bath. Tick, tick, tick, the time goes so slow.

I woke to this joyous email today. Arrive on the fourth, consultation on the fifth, surgery on the seventh. The surgeon wants you to get a good nights sleep. What? Fat chance for this insomniac! I will be the little girl awaiting by the GRS Christmas tree with a bucket and crate of milk and cookies, waiting for Santa Surgeon to give me my best present ever!!!

Oh look! There on the night stand, an emotion expression chart with all the little faces. Hmm, let's find me... Happy? Very! Nervous? Not really. Anxious, impatient, thrilled, excited, apprehensive, immature, who put that in there? Well yes to all of those. Calm, peaceful, tranquil, content. Yes in a strange sort of way... Geez this is harder than I thought...

I wonder what other people thought and felt dreaming and planning before their surgery? Well that might take the edge off my gitters. Oh Aug 6th may be open? WOW maybe a Bangkok AA meeting! Lunch and some shopping would be unique too. I hope others will share their thoughts? Hug. JodyAnn

Hi JodyAnn,

Bet you end up going through all the emotions you've ever had and probably some you haven't during your time out there.

Exciting times!

Hey JodyAnn, many congratulations on getting your date. It's wonderful getting that and know tha t you are on the home straight.

Believe me when I say those last couple of months whizz by, they really do. Then, all of a sudden you are waking up from surgery wondering what all the fuss was all about. A week ago I was fasting ready for my surgery and here I am about to be discharged and sent home - where did those last 2 months disappear to?

Best of luck JodyAnn.

Here is a website that allows you to find out some information about AA meetings in Bangkok. I have a dear friend in the program who recently returned from having surgery there. She had a great time if a "bit" uncomfortable afterwards.

http://www.aathailand.org/content/contact-form google is such a great resource. I even saw a GLBT meeting in Thailand. What fun!

Hugs,

Charlize

Giggle, great sober girl minds think alike! I bookmarked that page yesterday.

The only trick is to use the information, that and finding a ride. Good play Charlize! Thanks.

Hello JodyAnn, always great news when a transsexual woman gets her turn. In this case it’s yours!

I was very thankful that I had a full work schedule with many assignments leading up right up to my SRS date. Kept my mind off SRS. In retrospect maybe taking the day off prior to the surgery would have been nice.

About 60 days prior to SRS, I started recording my RLE/RLT YouTube series. Became very attentive at keeping an accurate daily log. Both helped me feel I had accomplished another daily step towards SRS.

You might also consider watching plenty of those just prior to and just after SRS YouTube videos. While it appears we all have different outcomes, there is a lot to learn from those who walked the path prior to us. Life can be very different once one undergoes SRS. I found myself very unprepared for womanhood 2.0.

If you can, try being social, VickySGV and I attended a t-girl event together. Getting out and letting my hair down was very much needed fun.

Have a good trip!

Thanks Anne,

I'm stuck in a retirement park. Semi retired. The starter died in my poor little truck today. How typical. Giggle.

I finished my folklore musical stomp box today. I'm midway on my cigar box tenor guitar and two Telecasters to finish. I can preoccupy myself.

The best diversion is longingly looking at my new dialator sex...er...I mean set. Also dreaming about all my new fashions I can wear without worrying about the bump.

What day is This? Is it August yet? Hug. JodyAnn

Thank you Carolyn and Carla. Will do. Yesterday I bought a travel electrical adapter so I can take all my gizmos.

      Good luck on selling your wife on the idea of a different car. This could be tougher than negotiating with a dealership.   My wife agreed to my taking profit out of the company to buy a used truck once we found out the 2014 F-250 I currently had with 267,244 miles on it was needing new torque converter solenoids and the DEF system is chocking up. We bought a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, Duramax 4X4, with 163,000 miles. LTZ Off Road package, power mirrors, chrome step boards, rear camera, exhaust brake, and air lift bags on the rear suspension. It belonged to a friend of mine who also owned a mobile training business.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      At the other end and in our favor is Julia Serano's analysis of the Cass Report Fiasco   https://juliaserano.medium.com/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the-perpetual-debate-over-gender-affirming-care-8f56d0c4d0c6   Serano is a Trans Woman and a molecular biologist herself, guess whose evaluation I honor.

      That's great @MaeBe hopefully the company will offer your wife a moving package with the new job position. That's how I was transferred from the St. Louis Metro area to the Indianapolis Metro area. The company covered all the moving expenses, as well as a three week stay in an extended living hotel while we chose an area to build our current home.   Good Luck and make it a happy adventure.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Birdie is the day care in charge of your MyChart, Hospital, and Doctors as to how you are cared for? There has to be some way to prove that you were born intersex and have a choice on your chosen pronouns. I wish we could do more for you. Keep pushing forward.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That's nice. I have bought all my stuff through Best Buy because I love the customer service.

      The Republicans are not interested in compromising.  Johnson will be gone for compromising unless the Dems help him out.

      Biden campaigned as the master negotiator, able to push legislation through Congress.   Whatever bill a Dem president, a Dem Senate, and a Rep House can agree on might be  more palatable than a bill with a R president, R Senate and R House given present attitudes. They are throwing away a chance.
    • Ivy
      A bill like this would never get through congress, even if it were allowed to be voted on.

      It was the only appliance that was not replaced when I bought the house.Plus I have the phone number for the scrap metal hauling guy that stops at where I work at.Called him and it will be his once I get the new stove.Told me give me a call once it is out and he will come to pick it up

      Ha, that's funny - I swear this is the one I used to use in high school to get around school blockers and play games. 😅🤦‍♀️   Though I'd be wary of using a free VPN today, if your only intent is bypassing censorship, I guess it works. Proton VPN also has a free tier with a limited selection of countries/servers. I feel more comfortable recommending them as they actively try to fight censorship with new evolving VPN protocols, and they protect your privacy. They are also directly funded by their paying customers. So there is really no downside to using their free tier over another free VPN that may not have the same goals/values.

      That sounds pretty accurate. I'm just glad I don't use Windows anymore, as I basically consider Windows itself a virus/malware. Backups can absolutely save you from some types of malware like ransomware. However it's ideal to just not get infected by having smart browsing habits. It's been said, and very accurately so, that the best antivirus is you - even the best antivirus isn't 100% accurate in detecting bad stuff, if you go out looking for that stuff or browse carelessly.   I guess if you don't care and/or don't have sensitive data on your PC, then that's fine I suppose. I personally care a lot - personal accounts, private messages, and even my very presence on this site aren't necessarily things I want to be public knowledge. 🤓🫠

      Yes he is. Sorry it has taken so long. One sick kid and the other has needed my attention more than usually. 
    • MaeBe
      Sure is! Is he good with the kiddos?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Once again the Biden admin ignores Congress and issues a regulation that can be quickly changed. It would be much wiser if they worked a bill through Congress that became law.
