While in Dr. Bower's waiting room I had a chance to chat with a woman who had the surgery a week and a half ago; she was going back home near Boston. She was 60 years old and very lively, chatty, and funny. You'd never believed that she had had surgery so recently. (hang on...back in just a bit) She was just oozing happiness. We discussed how hard it was dealing with feelings while dealing with gender incongruity. I have to say, chatting with her really helped to put Beth and I at ease. She said GRS is nothing compared to her open heart surgery. I was inspired by her words and attitude.
I was happy to hear Marci tell me that things looked good and that there should be no problems. I am very anxious to be over and done with this. (Hang on....) I guess I've had enough closure. It's time to move on. I know I'll stay afloat, buoyed up by (rats! I'll be back) the well wishes, good thoughts, and prayers I've received from all of our friends. So, as of tomorrow I'll have a new/additional birthday.
I really don't know when I'll be able to (or feel like) getting back on the computer. I'm hoping by Saturday.
Until then may the winds in your mind stay calm; may the flame in heart burn steady. And remember....if you want something badly enough the entire universe will conspire to help you get it.
Namaste.

Wow, GRS is less than heart surgery, well been there, done that. The heart surgery that is. This is heartening (excuse the pun) for me, I had wondered how many of our sisters had had heart surgery and then been told "no" on GRS. I have already heard this noise even though I have performed well on the stress test.
