Transition update...

[carrie359]

Hey Girls,
Went to Motley Crew last Friday Night.... had way to much fun.. so my saturday was waisted and I don't really ever drink but ugh!! that night..
Anyway anyone who is new to Estrogen trust me .. you can't drink like a dude..  seriously.

So go back to Dallas second face clearing Wednesday... I am more apprehensive this time because I know how damn much all those shots hurt.. ouch..!!
Delayed going full time until  January 2014 has to do with family and all the holiday stuff..  birthdays and our 32nd anniversary... just think better to let the family get more used to me full time..... I put off hair extensions until third week in January... bummed!!
Another good thing about waiting is I will have had 4 full face clearings in Dallas ...so no more shadow..
I am also still scared to death... even though I have friends who say I don't even need extensions with my hair now and just do it..and I will pass I am still having a hard time believing them..
This truly is a hard road.. I must admit I act super brave sometimes but I am not!!

I'm sure you'll do fine, sweetie. It's natural to have doubts and feel nervous, but listen to your friends on this.

Anyone who can take those painful injections for beard removal is certainly strong enough to transition.  Seriously I think you will do brilliantly.

Safe travels

I know.. ouch.. but its sure worth it..
I just saw my therapist and she was surprised I am not going full time but wants me to be comfortable.  She swears I am a solid 8 and totally pass....And I am like ...what.. I am not a 10     but seriously I have some weird thing about thinking I look like a guy.  A girl friend of mine is like u don't even need extensions your hair is awesome put some make up on and get on with it..
One day I will be ok.. my therapist said in a year we will be sitting there laughing about it...
Well off to Dallas in 30 minutes....
Love ya,
Carrie

Back home after another full clearing... so happy to have this one done.. my second.
Only took 5 hours with two techs..
I love E3k In Dallas those girls work so hard  and fast.
They said I am the only patient they have ever had who does not even flinch at the injections.. even in  the lip area..
I asked them what others do... and they said some scream. punch and kick..  not to scare anyone but those injections can really hurt.
They asked me how I do it.. and said it saved me money.. I never got out of the chair for the full 5 hours...
What I do is kind of go somewhere else in my head during the most painful ones.. I am a pilot so I envision having issues landing a plane and I have done aerobatics so I envision being up in the air.. ....but it still hurts.. I am surprised my Iphone still works.. i would squeeze it so hard..
Take  care,
Carrie
