Approved!

[Guest Mickey]

So today I had an appointment with my Urologist. I hafta go pee in a cup for them each visit and when I was on the way back to the waiting room I swung by Ashley's office. She's the very nice lady that has been helping me in my fight with the insurance company. I just wanted to ask her how long I had, after this latest denial, to get the appeal in. And she tells me that it had been approved. I looked at her kinda funny, cause I'd just gotten the denial letter a week and a half ago. She's said she'd also gotten a denial letter and when she was talking with the insurance company they said it had still been in the appeals process, even though somebody had sent out the denial letter. Here I am, gearing up for a major fight with my insurance and now, out of the blue, I don't hafta fight em. I borrowed their box of tissues and cried in the waiting room for a lil while. Now, 5 hours later, if I think on it too long I'm crying again. Tears of happiness feel pretty good.

I was very surprised really. Tennessee is one of the states that has a very long way to go when it comes to Trans* rights. There was a constitutional amendment to not allow a Trans* person to get a gender marker change on their birth certificate. Now the problem is finding some place to do the surgery. St. Francis, Baptist and Methodist hospitals will not allow any kind of gender confirmation surgeries. If I had testicle cancer the surgery would be allowed. Because I am Trans* it's not. There is another place, the Urology Center I think, that it could be done at and my Dr's office is contacting them to set things up.

One thing I have noticed since I got the news yesterday, I am feeling a whole lot calmer. More at peace with myself. A mental shift, if you will, that has left me with an inner calmness and serenity that feels really good. I am ready for this. So ready.

I'm so glad for you. Buy a couple of pairs of boy shorts that don't pull up too tight down below. The incisions i had were right under where a normal pair of panties makes contact against the legs. Normal panties chaffed until i got some different ones. Healing took a bit of time but i'm a happy gal regardless.
