ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE DAY OF WONDERFUL THINGS!

[asimont]

Appointment with Dr Kennedy from the Monash Gender clinic at 10.30 this morning. Firstly, I found 2 hour parking directly across the road from her office (rare). Her secretary Margaret told me she wasn't running behind today, so I got in to see her about 10 minutes after my appointment time. She had a smile on her face, like she had some good news

Wow, this is all excellent news - congratulations! i'm very happy for you. :-) *big hugs*

Thanks, my friend! I think the best news is that it might be done before summer-if you've seen the pre-op photo in xxasimont (behind cut) you'll know why I don't want these through another Melbourne Summer, especially as I'm too big and kind of in the wrong places to be able to bind at ALL!

I think you'll see why they have been so merciful!

Then I guess I friended the right you - right? I've been liking your posts over in - well, over yonder. You know where. ;)

Congrats on the surgery! And don't let anyone get you down. Confidence is your weapon, you know? :)

Thanks, my friend. I've added you to both this and xxasimont LJ (I tend to use xxasimont more, but if there's any very private type stuff I use an LJ cut anyway with a content warning).

I'm not looking forward to actually being IN hospital, but at least the hospital it's apparently being done in is single-story, so I won't be TOO far from exit doors. Combine AS with a fairly severe panic disorder, and hospitals arent much fun. Fortunately for this one it's a short stay.

Once I get rid of these unsightly 'growths' (if you want to know how bad, take a pic at the before and after photoshopped ones in my xxasimont lj), I will have a lot more confidence. At the moment because the Testosterone has changed my voice, I introduce myself to people as Simon and they are fine til they look at my chest!
Nice to have you on my friends list.
Simon

1. yay!

2. in case you were wondering, your other lj hasn't been turning up on my flist for some reason-- which is why no comments. will fiddle around tomorrow try to get it to show up.

Thanks! That's weird, oh well, you're clever, I'm sure you will work out why.

Thanks, Ricky,
You've seen me, so you know how much this means to me. I think they are actually going to do it at Masada, which is kind of weird because it's just round the corner from you. Pity you're not chair-mobile at the moment!

It is a great pity... and me visiting you in hospital would be funny, considering the first time that we met!!!! LOL!

Any way you could visit me on the way through? I could kick in for extra taxi cost if it would help?

Wish to could see you after, but I imagine that on the way home you will be feeling pretty crappy!

I heard that you have Bek spring cleaning! Woo to being able to see the floor ;)

Love always

I'll see what I can do about visiting you at the time, Irene has offered to come down and look after me when I have the surgery, which will be a great help. Seeing you post-surgery I don't see as being a problem, I've had 2 Caesarians don't forget, and I was fine after them- I had to be, I had 3-4 hourly feeds, nappies etc to deal with.

Yes, Bek needed part time work now that she's independant, just a few hours here and there to supplement her Youth Allowance, and I needed 'home help' so it's working well (except I can't find my blood test order form but that was on the computer system unit so I think I misplaced that when Mick upgraded the RAM. We've both taken some 'before' photos of various areas (some are on a fmil I have to develop), so I will be posting photos of the finished results.

That is wonderful news! I hope all goes very well.

[asimont]

Ta! I'm sure it will, Mr Ceber is a very good surgeon- he's also a nice man too, which is good. I'll be posting all about it on my LJ of course
