May one ask why?
Very delicately asked, and no reason to answer of course.
If you are going for GRS most surgeons don't think it is needed, as they clean off the hair follicles during re-construction.
Oh and nice to see you honey. Hope you are OK.
I don't have a choice of surgeon (as the NHS are paying for this), but I've got Mr Thomas doing it, and he's pretty much top dog in the UK, so I'm not complaining. He made it clear he won't do the surgery until I have all the hair in a particular area removed, so there it is, and I have to get to it pronto.
And I've lost 3 months already, because the laser technician told me categorically (when I started having that area lasered) that I wouldn't need to remove the white hairs, just the dark - and she was talking bolox (pun intended). So instead of getting my surgery in December/January as I was expecting, it's now going to be April at the earliest - and that's if I can find somewhere to bloody do this in the first place, that I can reliably get to on a regular basis.
I am not best pleased, shall we say. But there are pluses to the delay, mainly that I'll have more time to recover from my urethral surgery next week and get really fir for the gender surgery, and that I'll probably have moved house by then and have housemates to come back to after surgery who can look after me
.
In the short term, I am so looking forward to this surgery being over next week - they should have done it baqck in February, but I've been bounced from consultant to consultant and then back to the beginning again, by which time I have a high Tramadol dependancy to deal with afterwards too. Slings and arrows, innit (and that's what peeing has felt like since December...)
I do lurk here on occasion, I hope you're all doing well. xxx
