She probably would if I'd asked for it, but I'm pretty happy with my girls. They've got two more years to reach full strength. I was a late bloomer with puberty v.1.0. I want to give the girls time to come into their own.

 

Hugs!

@Jackiec

hoping for the best possible outcome. Hmm somehow that didn’t come out right!  Lol. 
 

I love your sense of humor and great attitude! I shouldn’t say I’m Looking forward to your lessons learned column, actually hoping there are no more lessons to learn. Best of luck!

This is just a revision. My labia didn't heal right among other things. Doctor Rumer offered to put things to rights on her dime so I'm grateful I get to do this without... well, there's still a four digit price tag, but that's all hospital staff, airline fees (big lesson learned was do NOT take the train with a fresh vaginoplasty), hotel and meals.

 

The big lesson learned here is that I'm going to try and finish at least a unit of my personal trainer class while I'm laid up. Last time Susan and I mostly watched daytime TV. I hate daytime TV. This time I'll be reading and relaxing. Also ordering room service once a day. The place I'm staying is supposed to have a top-notch resteraunt.

 

Hugs!

Jackie, I wish you the best on your procedure and the healing of the area. Anytime a surgeon is working down there, I consider it a big deal…Large or small!

 

Good Luck,

Susan R?

Thank you! I'm hoping for a better cosmetic result. The "guts" work like they're supposed to but it does NOT look great.

Well here's a snag:

 

My PCP sat on my paperwork for four weeks, then went on vacation. He pushed some stuff through at the last minute and... surprise, he muffed it.

 

I got a call from my surgeon today who informed me of the problem, but suggested an urgent care clinic could straighten me out.

 

Apparently, out of hospital network doctors can't do it because they don't have access to my medical records.

 

Urgent care centers WITHIN my hospital's network won't do it because, "They don't do that."

 

I ugly cried all the way home. I'm calling my PCP's office tomorrow and seeing what they're going to do about it considering I needed this taken care of by Friday at the absolute latest. You may see me on the news if I don't like their answer.

 

Hugs!

Jackie, I'm so sorry you're dealing with these crunch time issues. Your PCP is completely dropping the ball by sitting on your paperwork, and then going on vacation.

Got HALF of it squeezed out. The OTHER half that he just chose not to complete is looking like it's going to take more work. My endo has seen me recently, maybe she can take care of it but it's going to depend on the clinic and they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Jackie, I’m so sorry you are going through this.  but If I was on your jury I’d vote justifiable.

 

Good luck and stay our of trouble.

So it turns out that camping in the waiting room of a doctor that's being prickly is a good way to get them to do what they would have done in the first place. It's a lot harder to deny someone in person when they show up at your doorstep and say, "This is your fault. The paperwork is done. All YOU need to do is sign it."

It still took a half-hour.

 

Of course I didn't have any internet, so I needed to get the paperwork to the surgeon before end of day. It took two different UPS stores because the first one didn't have power. Fun fact: It costs $3 to fax three pieces of paper. I had to pay with a credit card, because my wallet was EMPTY.

 

It's done now though so in just under two weeks I can be in PA and getting my revision surgery. I didn't realize how much stress I was carrying. I'm better now.

 

Hugs!

Yes, it’s amazing how fast and honest people are when you face them, removing opportunity to procrastinate or lie. Good for you. I’m glad you’re doing better now.

Oh Jackie - I was thinking on how I could tune into the news as to find out which court house/jail to protest outside of for your release! 
 

I am glad it worked out! Take it from a Nurse herself, best way to get anything done by a Doctor, it is always best to just be within earshot and within their visual field because doctors despise confrontation. As a nurse, I LOVE it!

Assuming nothing ELSE goes sideways, I'm good to go for next week. Tomorrow is my last official day of work before I go to surgery (My kiddo is done until I get back, but I was planning to work so I said I'd sub). I got the last little bit of my paperwork off to the nurse (they wanted my EKG film, not just the summary) and some antibiotics because it looks like I've got a baby UTI brewing and they want to take care of that before they stick a catheter in me.

 

Next week I'm OFF!

      I asked AI to create an image of myself 30 years younger based off my avatar on another site and this was the result:     Wow! I am amazed how close it got my 30 year old face!

      Quite true.  The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be.   My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.

      This wouldn't even be a problem if they would just leave us alone.  It is a no-brainer.
    • Ivy
      OMG.  I'm glad it wasn't worse, and you were able to get on it quickly.  Lots of blood can be scary.

      Like I said, I'm no tankie, but I do see a world of difference between Joseph Stalin and Bernie Sanders.   If the point is not wanting 'government control' the Right is pretty good at that themselves - as they've been demonstrating lately. This stuff gets complicated.

      So, I am curious. Is the Governor going to mandate vaginal or penile recognition photos before one enters the restroom? Considering the Governor has no balls to do the right thing, will he have to pee against a tree outside? Inquiring minds would like to know. I love it when the job recruiters contact me about the wonderful jobs available in Oklahoma. It is so much fun telling them there is no way I will ever go to Oklahoma. When there are no workers, then they can shutter the place.

      Ngl, probably Sonic the Hedgehog, the Beatles, or the Monkees. Those are the three subjects I know the most about so I could drop hours of info on them.

      Isaac Asimov, Albert Einstein and Robert Kennedy, in that order.

      Thank you! I'm out of coffee so I have been drinking hot tea instead. Looking forward to the 1st. It's crazy that we are almost in May. This year has flown by really quick! Good to hear that y'all got to sleep in. Hope you have a good weekend too!

      It's nice to care about others but you need to live your life as you please. No one be your only source of happiness. Love yourself and don't look back. I lost over 40 family members it hurts but apparently, they didn't truly love me. True love will always be there through the thick and thin. I can honestly say that HRT has made me think in ways that I never thought I would. I get myself some shoes or clothes every month because retail therapy not only helps but it is a reward to myself to show love. I have over 100 dresses. I have a whole walk-in-closet full of clothes and 67 pairs of shoes. I love who I am. I was born in 84 so not all people in the 80's think that way. As far as the name just take your time and be happy with it. I knew I loved the name Ashley. Take care and welcome!

      Congratulations Sam,   The common saying her once someone starts HRT is: “Enjoy the ride.”   Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      WOW @Ashley0616 it’s good that you have skills to treat traumatic injuries, as well as the ability to remain calm while managing others needs to get yourself and the boys ready to go to the hospital. Proud mama bear skills. I’m glad that he’s doing well.    Meanwhile back at the ranch, we slept in and I’m just now finishing my 3rd cup of coffee.    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.
