So I'm back from my final appointment with Dr Kim. I got the botox. Botox wasn't so bad. Just a tiny pin prick. It was kind of cool, he had an instrument he used with a microphone while he was injecting it. Jessie did say that I should be careful drinking water for the first 7 days, use a straw or bend slightly over.
My mom saw the Clonazepam and she was like, "oh wow they give you valium." Well it's not exactly Valium... I have to see after 4 months how I do. They said send them a voice file.
The voice training was kinda cool. One of the nurses (I think she's a nurse) gave me a demo and lots of pointers. However I have a speech language pathologist lined up after the 2 month rest period.
Jessie and I even had some girl talk, LOL. On a more serious note, I think that there had been complaints in the past about misgendering. That was nonexistent this time, for me anyway. I know Dr Kim has been talking with WPATH and others so maybe they gave him a few pointers. They got everything right and treated me with respect. They even used my new name and correct gender in paperwork except in the official (I guess Gov't mandated) medical records. They used the correct pronouns though.
They did comprehensive test on everything blood wise, including HgbA1C (diabetes) which is a concern for me. Thankfully my A1C is not in the diabetic range anymore.
My relaxed voice was 156.4Hz with a mean Fo of 151.02Hz and the "trained" was 196.04Hz with a mean Fo of 190.70. Add 74Hz to that and I'll end up easily around 230Hz which is fine.
