     Hi all, it is a pleasure to meet you.  I have been browsing this web sight for some time but until today have yet to join.
     My name is Kristina and I live in Copenhagen Denmark.  I am 10 years postoperative and married to a wonderful man. I consider myself pretty sucessful as a TS as even my new personal physician doesnt know about it, though that will have to change very soon.  I have however lost much in life getting to where I am now, as I am sure alot of others have. 
      Though I was never very large framed nor masculine (fairly average I guess) I had previously worked as a police officer.  My decision to end that nightmare and begin the dream cost me all my friends from the department and my father, who died having not spoken to me again since the day he found out I was going thru with the change.  Its odd though, I truly believe I can feel him with me offering support now that he has passed.  My brothers and mother are wonderul friends to me, and are very protective. 
    Physically I am 5'7, 135, brunette/green eyes.  I wear a size 10 dress and size 8 shoe.  (dont really know that it matters, but I see others posting their sizes so will be a lemming).  I have a BA in criminal justice that I wish I hadnt.  Working in the system is about as depressing a thing a person can do.  I am not working at the moment and am trying to find direction.  The process of becoming me began at my earliest memories.  Even in preschool days I wore my cousins clothing (wonderful friend and neighbor) and told my parents I was a girl, which brought lots of wonderful wippings with dads belt back then.  My single most grand regret in life is that I didnt have the fortitude to stand up for who I was and have surgery as a teenager.  Instead I let my dad direct my path a bit too much.  (hence the cop bit). 
    I hope this wasnt a bit much info, I tend to ramble on and on and on......drives the hubby nuts ;D

Hello Kristina,


                Physical measurements are not important at all and are usually not even mentioned here it's just that a few have (coincidently?) done so lately. I love to hear success stories like yours and am saddened that your father had the reaction he had. I am sure that he had serious doubts about his reaction while alive but could not come to express them to you. He surely understands now and no longer has the baggage we all carry in this life so he is with you every day and supporting you.

                Everyone enjoys long posts here and I am envious of those that open up so well as I try to do with varying success.

                 I hope you are seeing your doctor as soon as possible about the problems you mentioned previously. Don't be afraid to tell him about your past, he will understand and it is important medical history he needs. Long term SRS problems are best handled by an experienced SRS surgeon but the symptoms you describe could become serious very quickly if not already. The testing for infection and internal bleeding can be done by any competent doctor.

                 Welcome to the forum, I hope we hear lots from you.

Hi Kristina,

Don't worry about rambling here. We all ramble a bit from time to time. Its how we get to know each other but also how we explore our own thinking. Putting your thoughts in writing in a non-judgemental non threatening environment is good for the soul.

So welcome to Susan's look forward to reading your ramblings :D.

Hi Kristina,

Welcome to Susan's, I envy you for your sizes, it must be so much easier to shop when you are in the normal female range.  My size always seems to be one size above the normal female sizes which makes shopping a little more difficult.  Anyway, keep posting, and by the way, this was a short message for me, because I tend to ramble as well.

Welcome to Susan's Kristina.

I hope your new docs get you fixed up so you can get on with your life without all the pain. As has been said rambling is good here at Susan's. So fix yourself a cup of tea or other relaxing beverage. sit down, take your shoes off and set a spell.

Good Journey,

Cassie

I'm looking forword to your posts. I 'm Leah's significant other. I 'm sure there will be lots to share with one another.

Leah has a cousin in Norway and some second cousins too. The pictures they have share have been beautiful. I am Swedish and Danish mix on my Dad's side the family. Have always wanted to go there someday and look for family history.

Your openness is refreshing.
Thanks for sharing your success.
