My surgery date is set...


Guest

Recommended Posts

...the airfare tickets are purchased. Now I have to hold my breath and wait until August 3rd.

I'm cleaning, sorting and packing bit by bit to pass the time away. Prep the bed, clean the bedroom and bath. Tick, tick, tick, the time goes so slow.

I woke to this joyous email today. Arrive on the fourth, consultation on the fifth, surgery on the seventh. The surgeon wants you to get a good nights sleep. What? Fat chance for this insomniac! I will be the little girl awaiting by the GRS Christmas tree with a bucket and crate of milk and cookies, waiting for Santa Surgeon to give me my best present ever!!!

Oh look! There on the night stand, an emotion expression chart with all the little faces. Hmm, let's find me... Happy? Very! Nervous? Not really. Anxious, impatient, thrilled, excited, apprehensive, immature, who put that in there? Well yes to all of those. Calm, peaceful, tranquil, content. Yes in a strange sort of way... Geez this is harder than I thought...

I wonder what other people thought and felt dreaming and planning before their surgery? Well that might take the edge off my gitters. Oh Aug 6th may be open? WOW maybe a Bangkok AA meeting! Lunch and some shopping would be unique too. I hope others will share their thoughts? Hug. JodyAnn

Hi JodyAnn,

Bet you end up going through all the emotions you've ever had and probably some you haven't during your time out there.

Exciting times!

Hey JodyAnn, many congratulations on getting your date. It's wonderful getting that and know tha t you are on the home straight.

Believe me when I say those last couple of months whizz by, they really do. Then, all of a sudden you are waking up from surgery wondering what all the fuss was all about. A week ago I was fasting ready for my surgery and here I am about to be discharged and sent home - where did those last 2 months disappear to?

Best of luck JodyAnn.

Here is a website that allows you to find out some information about AA meetings in Bangkok. I have a dear friend in the program who recently returned from having surgery there. She had a great time if a "bit" uncomfortable afterwards.

http://www.aathailand.org/content/contact-form google is such a great resource. I even saw a GLBT meeting in Thailand. What fun!

Hugs,

Charlize

Giggle, great sober girl minds think alike! I bookmarked that page yesterday.

The only trick is to use the information, that and finding a ride. Good play Charlize! Thanks.

Hello JodyAnn, always great news when a transsexual woman gets her turn. In this case it’s yours!

I was very thankful that I had a full work schedule with many assignments leading up right up to my SRS date. Kept my mind off SRS. In retrospect maybe taking the day off prior to the surgery would have been nice.

About 60 days prior to SRS, I started recording my RLE/RLT YouTube series. Became very attentive at keeping an accurate daily log. Both helped me feel I had accomplished another daily step towards SRS.

You might also consider watching plenty of those just prior to and just after SRS YouTube videos. While it appears we all have different outcomes, there is a lot to learn from those who walked the path prior to us. Life can be very different once one undergoes SRS. I found myself very unprepared for womanhood 2.0.

If you can, try being social, VickySGV and I attended a t-girl event together. Getting out and letting my hair down was very much needed fun.

Have a good trip!

Thanks Anne,

I'm stuck in a retirement park. Semi retired. The starter died in my poor little truck today. How typical. Giggle.

I finished my folklore musical stomp box today. I'm midway on my cigar box tenor guitar and two Telecasters to finish. I can preoccupy myself.

The best diversion is longingly looking at my new dialator sex...er...I mean set. Also dreaming about all my new fashions I can wear without worrying about the bump.

What day is This? Is it August yet? Hug. JodyAnn

Thank you Carolyn and Carla. Will do. Yesterday I bought a travel electrical adapter so I can take all my gizmos.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Finding a few pictures from a trip to Thailand I went to 10 years ago.They were pictures taken with Katois aka ladyboys.It was cool to meet them and planning to go back next year.A couple of them saw I am transgender too.

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.
