One Year Later....
Today marks one year from my first testosterone shot. It feels like the year has flown by and the changes have been drastic. I am happier and healthier than I have ever been before. I have found comfort in my own skin and am learning to accept the things about me that can't be changed. The past year has brought so many changes. Change in name, ( Read more... ) -

So I'm still wearing the compression vest day and night, which makes it a little difficult to sleep. On top of that, I still have to sleep on my back, on an incline. Don't get me wrong...I want everything to heal perfectly, but I just want to sleep on my side, or my stomach, or be able to move during the night. I am so sick of waking up in the ( Read more... ) -
Back at work....
So my top surgery was two weeks ago (Wednesday, July 23). Mom came up the next day (Thursday, July 24) to help me recover. Her 52nd birthday was Friday, July 25 and my 27th was Saturday, July 26. Needless to say, that was a crazy week. I wasn't in too much pain the first week, except in the mornings when the pain killers had worn off. Mom, Baker ( Read more... ) -
Finally Scheduled....
The doc said I am a great candidate for peri (read 'minimal scarring and better all-around surgery for me'). My surgery is scheduled for July 23 (Wednesday), three days before my 27th birthday. I will need to see the doc the day after surgery, so Baker and I will stay in Timonium overnight. I should be home by Thursday afternoon. The bad news ( Read more... )
