  On June 7, I met with the anesthesiologist who gave me a thumbs up for my breast augmentation on June 27.  She was the last 'huddle' for me to pass.  I just can't believe it!!!  This is something I prayed about for a long time.  It's so amazing it's really happening!!!  And not only that, but I also began therapy this week with a psychiatrist who will evaluate me for vaginoplasty.  I hope that by 2018 I will no longer suffer from the disconnect of mind and body that I have lived with for decades.  And finally be whole.
Don't really know what to write here...  So I'll just write a little about myself.  For conciseness, I am a 48 y/o pre-op transsexual who's in a wheelchair.  I'm wheelchair bound due to AVN(avascular necrosis) which took three and a half inches from my right femur and I acquired due to HIV.  I got infected by the first man I was ever with.  So, after spending 40+ years in Texas and getting three felonies, I decided to move to San Francisco.
  I got here in 2010 and continued to drug myself until something happened...  I don't remember exactly what happened, but I do know I did something to ease my pain, which didn't help and I ended up in the ER.  After that, mind you I could still walk, barely, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis.  Immediately I was sent to a hospital in really bad shape.  I was addicted to a copious amount of drugs and weighed less than 90lbs.  I was near death.  I spent two and a half years in hospital, quit drugs, got my own place and am doing quite well.
