First Surgery Letter...


Guest Donna Jean

Recommended Posts

Guest Donna Jean

Hey, all.....

I'm walking on air.....

Why, you ask?

Well, Thursday my therapist said that he felt it was time to present me with my first of two letters needed for surgery! OMG!

So he is preparing that for me now!

I'll still need to do RLT and get the other letter.... but, I've hit a milestone in my journey...

So the surgery is still 18 months at a very minimum, but there is light at the end!

(and, of course, there's still that pesky money thing)

Happy Donna Jean

Love ya,

Sally

Congratulatiions Donna Jean!

that is so great! now the money thing - maybe we could convince your boss a few more times that he still owes you your bonus - unless he actually keeps records and documents stuff like that <_<

we could have a giant bake sale and give you all the proceedes I probably shouldn't bake or we'll lose all the money in refunds :(

we could have a car wash and put all the money we make into your surgery fund - this just won't work in areas where there is a water ban - again we would lose money in fines we would have to pay :blink:

Sorry Donna Jean I guess I'm not all that helpful after all ...but

Congrats on the letter!!!

You know.....

I feel incredible...I love you all so much....my life has never in half a century had SO much meaning...

And now, Lizzy, I'll have a paper that says that I can cry legally and I won't have to do it on the sly anymore...

And I still refuse to regret not having transitioned years ago....there is nothing to gain by that!

I'm happy now in the present and for the future!

Sally ...If I got a winning ticket...you suggested it so it's 50-50!

Happy as a Ladybug in a rug!

Just in case you don't win the lotery start putting back $1 a week and with the cost of surgery going up and based on it's current rate you should have it all together in arouund 577 years! :)

So who loves ya,

Sally

Congrats and perhaps with these tough economic times maybe SRS Dr's will start printing coupons?

You know like buy on SRS get the other for 50% off, or get a free traech shave or forehead countouring with any SRS ($500 value!).

(Good while supplies last, offer not available at all locations, some restrictions apply, consumer must pay all applicable sales taxes. limit one coupon per household)

HUGGS........LOL

That's what happens when you are forced into a large price jump during a depression - money is tight and this 'so called elective' surgery can wait.

Love ya,

Sally

      Even if you are estranged - think kindly of your mother today- because of her, you are here today.

      At 22 your body will still be changing. You say you've been on T for 6 years. Some trans guys say they fully masculinise around the 10 yr mark. I have a cis bro who is soon to be 30. He's changed alot in 5 years, a full beard, deeper voice . Of course hes cis so it's different, but his body was still changing at that age. Sorry for what you're going through. I'm short too at just under 5"2.

      Dump that doctor!   A doctor is a HIRED SERVICE PROFESSIONAL.  No more "holy" than a mechanic, a plumber, or anybody else in the trades.  Just like anybody else you hire, if they have a bad attitude or do crap quality work, get rid of them ASAP.  It amazes me how in the USA we don't have clear prices related to medical services, and how people will put up with crap from a doctor that they wouldn't from anybody else.  And it seems that doctors give bad service at approximately the same rate as other tradespeople.  Good help is hard to find!   Your body is more important than your car or your bathtub. Don't be afraid to assert yourself.

      I can't do that for myself...my partners do that for me. I guess I'm damaged goods.  I think part of me never totally grew up, because I'm not able to do adulting on my own.  There's no "wise parent" part of me because I didn't get here on my own.    I was stuck in my parents' house until GF rescued me.  Before age 26, my parents made all my decisions.  After age 26, I maybe decide some things, but mostly GF or my husband take care of it.  I need my partners around to remember even the basic stuff, like sleeping and eating at reasonable times.  Solo, I'm totally lost.

      Now that I think about it, part of why I enjoy my noisy family so much is because I don't have to have much of an inner life.  I don't really like being left to my own thoughts....all that mess in my brain.  Maybe better to have an active outer life than an inner one?

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      It is 5 posts for PM's from Members, but you can receive and respond to PM's from Moderators or Administrators before then.  This one is post #3 for you.

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Oh I'm wearing a blessed girl t shirt and blue capris. Nothing special today. It was just doing nothing day and feel guilty about it.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.
