There's a line from "Over the Rainbow" that never made it into the Wizard of Oz...
"one day I'll wake and rub my eyes and find myself beyond the skies that bind me...."
Well, its two days after surgery and I am so happy. In pain, yes, but happy. I got a chance to see the new me today (the dressing were removed). I am just so amazed. I am still at a loss for words. But I do know that the stress, the worries, everything I had to go through....it was worth it. I've been trying to find a word to sum it all up...affirmation, maybe. Either that or I've experienced the ultimate in getting recombobulated.
Oh, I'm still the worrier. I'm afraid to do anything that might cause complications or screw things up. So many things to learn.....so many things to experience. I know that my journey is not yet over (will it ever be?) In many ways its just beginning. The last 58 years have been preparation for this moment in my life. How appropriate that the journey begins on Coming Out On The Side Of Love Day.
I am ever so grateful to all of the friends and family members who gave me the love and support that kept me going.

It's awesome that you are so happy! Somehow, I know it's going to be the same for me, despite pain and discomfort. It's worth it all.
