I got a late start this morning as i was up very late(early) processing maple syrup in the sugar house.  We had our first draw of the season so all the work is finally beginning to pay.  I'll be boiling today but as it didn't freeze last night then i'll get a break.

Love the flowers!

Oh yes this is a fun time.  I loved helping out during the boiling.  Which was basically drinking beer for me.  LOL

Eeep! Tomorrow is T-day! First meeting with my therapist. Kinda want to go with my makeup on, but also want to wait and see how she is first. A little nervous, but not nearly as anxiety riddled as I was talking to my MD.

Sounds good!  Adding a little makeup to your current everyday presentation would be fine and would send the message that you are serious.  Nervousness is to be expected but go in with an open mind.

Justine, if they work with individuals with gender related issues, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second about wearing makeup.  By the time they get to an actual practice of any sort, they’ve already seen it all. But just do what feels most comfortable to you...just be yourself and you’ll be fine.

Oh I am so sorry this has happened for your husband.  I wish him a speedy recovery.

I am glad for you though on your surgery   The success stories are making me look forward to my time.

 

So for me I have tons of stuff to complain about but I am not going to. Hehehe

Coffee does not seem to be agreeing with my tummy anymore and it disturbs me even saying that.  Sigh

I have my "lump" appointment tomorrow and hoping for the best outcome.  I was given a recommendation letter by my therapist and verbal recommendation by my family doctor that she will write one too if needed.  My HRT doctor I see on the 27th in which I will ask her for one too.

Hopefully I can get this Orchi and have done with this pain.

Until then I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I could of lost him,90% block and doctors were surprised he was still walking.It did give him a wake up call.He knows I had a couple stents put in a few months ago and changed things around.One was my eating habits,the bad went goodbye.So I am adjusting very well to post op life life.My family has been great,my brothers have welcomed me in as a sister in their life.They saw the painful life I went through before I did decided to transition.My parents,been a great change for them that they have a daughter now that was once their son.

It is a hard thing to have therapy rescheduled for me.  I hate looking forward to something and then being disappointed.  I'm a cry arse brat afterwards.  LOL

Finishing my last swallow of coffee.

Good morning everyone!

My therapy went well yesterday. I'll be joining in a Trans Support group next month.

Upcoming meeting to be scheduled with the Endocrinologist.

So sorry to hear about everyone's woes.

ShawnaLeigh I'm especially worried about your lump, having had a stomach lump of my own removed this summer. Please keep us posted.

Hugs to all on this dreary, rainy day.

OK @JustineM don't fret as this is just a minor bump in the road.  Reschedule, and settle back in until the date arrives.

 

@Debra Michelle I'm happy for you about your progress.  Your husband dodged a bullet it seems.  Yes he needs to stop smoking.

Oh I’m not really fretting, just a little disappointed. But if she is sick, not much one can say about that. Just going to take the day and try some new makeup stuff I saw on YouTube. After I’ve had coffee of course. ?

I posted this in more detail in my "I've got a little problem" thread in the surgeries forum.

But here's the Short version.

I finally had my appointment with the surgeon.  Bilateral Orchiectomy is schedule on Apr 13th plus all the connecting tubing running up into the torso that she can reach.  On antibiotics and pain killers for now trying to lessen the pain I am experiencing as there is a lot of inflammation going from my left side and up into my abdomen.  Nothing looks malignant according to the good blood work but they will not know for sure until they cut into it. (Yikes.)  

 

Today is my pamper day. 

I finally get the makeover and photo shoot from my therapist.  So I am hoping to have some pictures to share soon.

The only possible down side to this is it may upset my wife on this day of all days.  Though she claims she doesn't care.  We will see.

Sipping my coffee and wishing everyone a very happy valentine's day with a warm hug to seal the deal.

Gosh it's cold outside!

To think I have to be out in this when I'd rather stay snuggled up under my blanket.

Brrrrrrr.

Happy Valentine's Day! 

 

It's also garbage day, so I had to drag the compost wheelie-bin to the road, an 800-foot trek through several inches of fresh snow.  So first I had to get out the snow blower and blow out a path.  Wrestling the snow blower and then wrestling the 300 lb compost bin (4 cats produce a lot of kitty-litter!) sure gave me my upper body workout this morning.

 

Theatre tonight!  It's the second-last show of the run.  I'm going to miss it when it's over.  It's a great show.  I do lights and sound.

Happy Valentine's day all ?

 

Enjoy the Theatre tonight Kathy, does not sound like work at all, but a labor of love, brrrr stay warm.

 

Dark rainy morning here 41f (5c) currently, coffee tastes great, the vertigo I've been having lately is not an issue today, thank goodness. I noticed a friend from another board joined us here last night at Trans Pulse, I think several of us will recognize ?

 

Have a great day

Happy Valentine's Day.  I hear its Friend's Day in some places now.   Its sunny but cold here today so we get what we get.  Enjoy the day.

 

Wow @KathyLauren that's a lot of kitty litter!  I have a sloping driveway and the road is close to 200 feet from where my bins are so if its snowy or rainy I just wait a week.  

 

@Cyndee I'm glad to read the vertigo isn't an issue today.  It can be nasty.

Good morning all, this fine Valentine's day I am taking my chances with this girl I like, wish me luck. This morning I gave her a flower and stuffed animal and she loved it. I am finding my courage to ask her out!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      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 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
    • Ivy
      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      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

      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.
