Thank you, ladies. The days are already flying by and I'm starting to get nervous, not about the surgery, but I still need some paperwork to be done. It's weird, though, when my mom first told me again she'd pay for the surgery, my S.O. was talking about going with me and I was just hoping that this would be the final bonding between us, and now I'm without him, on my own and he wants to see other men, not a transgendered woman who's deeply in love with him and who won't have what he grew to want more than me. I think I was way too small for him anyway. I'll find someone else, but I would have married him and it hurts a lot. He's all for me having the surgery, though, because he says he knows I've always been female with a birth defect and he wants to see me happy. Me too, so I'm going. There's someone else out there for me, but I thought I had a keeper. Screw it, I found out about this surgery at 14, and prayed then that someday I'd be able to get it, and now, 46 years later, I am!!! Thanks again, Ladies! A whole bunch of hugs, Mira
