I joined a while ago. Posted when I was feeling like crap. So now I’m feeling better and life seems to be leveling out again. I will just post here since I never really introduced myself. 

 

17 months on hrt. I am a full B cup. I live as a male and hate it every day. But I am dealing with it. I love my wife and love my life. So as long as I am moving forward in my transition. No matter how slow. I will continue to be happy. 

 

So another thing about me is that in 1988 I was in a bad car wreck. I hit a freeway overpass post head on. I lost my brother in that accident. Blamed myself for a long time. But due to the path his life was taking at the time. We all thought god was thinking he would be better off up there with him than down here on earth. 

 

As for me. I was in a coma for 2 weeks. Doctor told my mom. They did not know if I would ever wake up. If I did. They did not know if I would be a vegetable or not. And if I woke up and was not a vegetable, they did not know if I would ever walk again. Well I beat the trifecta. Still walking to this day, but in a lot of pain. I shattered my left ankle. Shattered my left knee. Broke my right ankle. Broke my right femur. Broke my right arm in 2 places. Dislocated both shoulders. 

 

So I did not think that was enough so on the second date with my current wife in 2008, I flipped my truck and that caused problems in my back. Herniated discs L4 and L5 about 7-8 mm. Now that I am older everything is catching up to me. All my joints and back are in pain. Now I am addicted to pain pills, to where I need to take them even when I am in not a lot of pain. And I hate it. Had my doctor cut the amount he prescribed and plan on seeing an addiction doctor in the future. 

 

But it yesterday I got some outstanding news. After searching for a surgeon for 7 years and every doctor telling me that I should fuse my ankle I found the one who has done more ankle replacements in my state than anybody else. And is considered one of the best in the country. He said your ankle is pretty messed up in there and we should replace it. REPLACE it. He said. Can you believe that?? Wow! It still has not really hit me how life changing this is. I asked him if I would be able to work after it’s replaced. He said work? You could play sports again. Sports. OMG!! I still can’t believe it. This is life changing. Off disability and I can work again!!! 

 

This is also means now after rehabilitation and healing I will finally be able to wear heels again. Freakin HEELS!!! Did you hear that? HEELS ?. 

 

And to top all that I am transgender. So still dealing with that. But now that I can work. And since most of my money after paying off bills can pay for some elective surgeries. I might just be able to get hair restoration and a body in the shape I would like. And etc.... wholly macaroni. Can you believe this. 

 

LIFE CHANGING!!!

Love you all,

Nora

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I don't know what I'd call this

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      Project 2025

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
