FFS scheduled for December 18th

[carrie359]

Well I could not be more excited to be getting FFS done soon.. just next week so coming fast.
I will be a Dr. Z girl.  I feel comfortable about my decision and feel I am in good hands.
What I liked about Dr. Zukowski was his personal interest in me and I found him to be very personable. Some say he comes off brash but I did not feel that at all.  I found him to be passionate about helping me to look and feel like my true self.
He also went into great detail about every procedure he would be doing.  His staff is amazing and so good at communicating with me.  Its been a very professional and caring experience.
So, Happy Holidays to everyone and I may chime in during my stay in Chicago..

Carrie,
Happy holidays, remember to breathe, and please report back - one day soon I hope to be following you down that path and am unclear about the recovery process.  You'll be in my thoughts

Thanks Julie,
Oh yes.. I need to breath.. I am so busy with work.. 10 to 12 hour days trying to get ahead of the game and time is flying by.  Dr. Z called me this morning to go over everything again and he again asked a couple times if I had any questions or concerns. 
It was good timing because I had therapy at noon so my therapist and I were able to talk.
I never dreamed HRT would change me so much in just a year and never dreamed I would be going full time so fast but it just seems to be working out .
I have scheduled my GRS and its about 17 months out unless I get in sooner.. keeping my fingers crossed.
I told my therapist I was glad to be born trans and that it made me who I am today and I would have not realized how much friends and family love me had I not entered this journey. I feel blessed to be different..
Have a wonderful Holiday Season and will be updating my post in Chicago...
