Take a little trip with me on Jody's Journey; if you care? If you dare!

Hello all from the moonlight of Bangkok! Yes it's Thailand, yes it's my turn! I'm so happy I can't stop crying with gratitude. That and I am so wrung out! Up twenty eight hours except for little cat naps. Four air terminals, three jets, all the coffee, tea and water I could drink.

I want my tailbone surgically reinstalled before my GCS, those jetliner seats have teeth! That trip was just plain brutal! None the less wonderful, I smiled the whole trip!

I've had my tea, shower and now my last cup of tea. Oh and smoked my last L&M from my seventh floor balcony.

I'm done, stick a fork in me! I'm off to a really nice bed. More tomorrow after my first consultation. Bow. JodyAnn

Sleep well dear one. Glad you made the journey despite needing some additional backside surgery. Keep us posted as you have the energy. What a magical adventure.

Hugs,

A stranger in a strange land, for sure. Or perhaps more accurately, a strange stranger in a strange land. Oh, but I digress. :P

Be well, Jody, and happy trails to you. Please don't ride any elephants after your surgery, OK? Promise me?

She will probably want to avoid the merry-go-round horses too!!

Can I be shipped home in a FedEx box with lots of foam popcorn?

My home trip was made on a special cushion I made from material used in life jackets and personal floatation devices. We had driven up to San Mateo from Los Angeles, and the trip home was 4 days since my "care takers" wanted to spend time at a couple of tourist traps on the road down. It worked for me because the foam was not as squishy where it was under my legs, and the hole in it was right under my stitches. .

See if you can get FedEx to sell you a bag of the foam popcorn, and sew it in a pillow case that can go through screening. It might work great. I made my personal settee the day I was cleaning the old guts out. I do know how to do upholstery as a hobby so I was an old sew an sew that day as well,.

Wow JodyAnn, there already. Take care and do what the nurses tell you. You'll soon be up and about (on the other side) and wondering what all of the fuss was about.

I hope you are getting that well deserved rest as I type this.

We break for a special report from our LP Thailand Corespondent: TWELVE FLIPPING HOURS for my consultation. Poked, prodded, pictured and those waiting room chairs. I WANT A BUTT TRANSPLANT!! My driver is so cool! He picked me up at nine a m and dropped me off at nine p m. This report is short my bed is calling me.

I love Bangkok, it has just become my number one "move to" city. Much more on that later. At the hospital, I got a few stares and glares from the people that don't matter; I didn't care because they just don't matter. All the ones that do, I was busy making friends with. I can almost bow now without looking like a ditzy bobble torso doll. Giggle. Traffic is totally insane! It fits my driving style perfectly. One does not have time to scream and flip people off, if you do two other drivers and a city bus just took off three more of your fenders. Almost no dented up cars here, I would call it precision respectful survival. What are you kidding! If people in Phoenix tried to drive like this, they would have the Circle K on every corner converted into auto body shops in a month. The whole city is my wild new playground JodyAlice in Wonderland! Forget the rabbit, I ain't late for nothin'!

They also know now what I have known all along. I am very high risk. With enough tears and pleading they are going ahead with my surgery. I showed them all my homework, fully prepared to give my life for a shot at this, plan B really sux as it is a swan dive off my hotel balcony. I'm not going home with Mr Trouble and his two little boys. They took me very seriously. I have to hold up my end of the bargain, take every precaution, follow every instruction exactly and take the new meds they are giving me as directed. Getting home is a whole new challenge, I'll cross that sky walk when that day comes.

I love my surgeon. I fully expected his consultation to be: This is what you pay, this is what you get. No substitutions from the menu. Well looky here! Jody picked her VayJay from the ala carte menu. He showed me all the pictures and results of the surgery. Nice but lacking the typical JodyAnn flair. "Do you have any questions?" Why yes, can I have this, that and that instead. I'm glad his english is very fluent. I discused about me and my multiple orgasms I don't want to loose, showed him several pictures of other females and he was busy asking questions, then taking notes. The more I asked for the more he smiled. Above all I want it to be asthetically pretty, like a flower. He smiled very big and warmly, scanned through the pictures in the files of his computer and said "is this it?" WOW! He nailed it right out of the box! Take the pun anyway you like! This is the one that's JodyAnn!!!

I'm off to bed, tomorrow one more trip to the hospital for a consultation with the Cardiologist. Monday seven a m can't come soon enough. Gnite all. Hug. Jody

After you get your cardiologist consult hopefully you'll have time to see some sights like a temple, garden or a great market. My friends who survived the war in Viet Nam loved their time in Bangkok and Thailand. You are very much in my prayers. Any english speaking meetings? Could be a nice way to meet some locals.

Hugs,

Charlize

Sitting ans sitting at the hospital again. I can endure, I'll be fine. More when I get back to my laptop.

Love the food! It's plasma fluid bath hot. Tonight is the liquid gut bomb grenade. No food or drink after 7am. Today is my day to chow. I'm starting to get the hang of Thai baht money. I felt peculiar having to try and pay USD. I hope to learn a few words and phrases before I'm gone.

Oh skip the rental car! Streets like multi level mazies, about twenty different kinds of traffic signals, usual gridlock intersections are controlled by whistle blowing Police that don't like to play. Only the major street signs are in English. I've never seen a gas station... Being a professional drive does me little good here. Though I love and am enchanted by the multi thousands of scooscooters small bore motorcycles, I want one!

Oh yeah, the Harley dealer is up the street from the hospital, I haven't seen a one on the street. Who would want to fight traffic on one of those whales??? I'm going here and there now, maybe more later.

I'll make a new gallery of the pictures of here as I'm recovering. Hug. JodyAnn

Your post brought the memories of our visit to Bangkok back so clearly. So busy and bustling - that traffic, sooooo chaotic with the 'Whacky Races' start at each set of traffic lights (mopeds and scooters at the front). Oh, that heat and humidity - amazing.

Do try to visit the Royal Palace Jody, it's really beautiful.

Oh, Harley Davidsons - about as manoeuvrable as a deep sea super tanker, so practical. You might guess that I hate the things - give me a European sports bike any day.

You make Thailand and the sights so vivid. Sounds like you are enjoying it thoroughly. In your special exuberant Jody way.

My thoughts and wishes will be with you tomorrow and in the coming days.

Hugs

I'm packing up for the hospital as I speak. I have a few hours of cushion, thank you insomnia! It comes in handy. Giggle.

Let me get my bath and hot tea with creamer, before I make my last official pre-op report. I want to tell how blessed I was yesterday. Love doesn't need a language, it communicates all on it's own!

OK, ok, I don't have little rainbows shooting out my hiney, although... IT JUST DON'T GET NO BETTER THAN THIS!!! Hug. JodyAnn

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Well it not morning and I haven’t been on her for a while but it’s nice to be back.  Did some catching up on everyone.  I do have a question, how is Toronto Canada for a get away? Is it a safe and friendly area for us to go.  The wife and I are looking for some where to go to allow me to be my true self.     thanks in advance

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
