This is likely the last post solely about my surgery, truthfully there are many details that are inappropriate to share either because of my privacy and modesty, or a desire to not publish uncomfortable descriptions. For those who want the anatomical, medical view of this topic I suggest doing searches on PubMed and YouTube has…… Continue reading Three weeks post op

Them or me, partie deuxieme
This isn’t really about trans issues, at least that isn’t my call on it. One of the other things that happens in life is finding out a friend isn’t much of a friend. To my thinking friends care about each other and therefore would care if they upset a friend, would want to know why…… Continue reading Them or me, partie deuxieme
Transitioning at Work
During March 2014 I went full time. Like most transitioning men and women I had transitioned everywhere but work. Work was the scariest place to transition since a disaster there would be hard to recover from. Work would also place the greatest demands to date to be dressed and present appropriately, and determining what appropriate…… Continue reading Transitioning at Work
Reimagined
Longtime hid behind the mask Imagined strips of clay Hiding self and glory dim Waiting for the day Sleep awhile and wake with morn Marvels wait within Sleepy eyes behold new hope Rising without sin Dance around the fairy ring Contra creed and faith Till the magic portal makes A passage to new grace Emerge…… Continue reading Reimagined
Two weeks
Well, two weeks is actually tomorrow morning, but I figured this was close enough. I had my last checkup with Dr. Leis last night and was told I’m healing up well. There are some extremely minor issues that will resolve themselves over time, nothing terribly annoying. Lacking some sin of omission or commission on my…… Continue reading Two weeks
Is it them, or Me??
The areas that hurt most transitioners are losses of family, friends, community and employment. As society gets more accepting these tend to be less of a problem, but it would be the rare trans person who is totally unaffected. Here I want to talk about friends. I can only speak from an MtF viewpoint, I’m…… Continue reading Is it them, or Me??
The true cost of SRS
People live through many good and bad times in their lives. If you are trans, signing up for some type of reassignment surgery is just one more of these. No one reading my post should think that deciding to get SRS, preparing for it or moving on afterwards is a world of rainbows and unicorns.…… Continue reading The true cost of SRS
One week
It was one week ago I had my surgery. I’m a little under a week from going home. The surgeon, Dr. Leis, told me I’m healing well and can go home next weekend. I did take a look for Saturday flights, but finally decided having another day to recuperate is no bad thing. I’ve had…… Continue reading One week
Day four
Yesterday I was moved to an hotel room from the hospital. I’m able to sleep without anyone checking to make sure I still have a pulse 😳 My sister and her husband are both being extremely wonderful to me. I had a bit of a panic attack yesterday, one should really expect that adjusting to…… Continue reading Day four
Bang
I came out of surgery 4pm yesterday and went to my room by seven. I didn’t sleep terrifically well, not so much pain as being in a working hospital and the annoyance of a foley in my bladder which ironically makes you feel, like you need to pee all the time. The only time I have…… Continue reading Bang
