Here she ever comes now!!
Click to viewI just realized it’s ages since I last blogged on here, though I’ve typed up a few entries off-line, which I will post shortly! But since I became Catherine my life has changed beyond all recognition! And to me, most amazingly of all, the date for my surgery is only weeks away, which after waiting and hiding things away for almost forty years is nothing but the blink of a eye!
I’ve not blogged, as simply living my life is no longer as easy as it once was due largely to the Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I do, however, still put a great deal of time into helping others but can no longer do as much with my time! For me some very good news was that several weeks ago, after 12 years on anti-depressants and getting help from psychiatric counseling, due to my marital break-up, I was signed off as well by the area’s psychiatrist!
I was worried that the MS might mean that I would have to settle for ‘just’ a cosmetic operation as it could have made dilation impossible. However, a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to go to the Nuffield Hospital in Brighton to see the anesthetist and the surgeon’s secretary, Liz. She gave me a little test to see if I could manage the stents to dilate myself as my hands are no longer as dexterous as they used to be! Thankfully I passed the test and will have the operation I’ve always wanted!
Liz also gave me the date for going into hospital of 7 February 2011! With Christmas ‘in the way’ the time should fly by!! So I think I can safely say that in my case, “Here she ever comes now!”
