Hi Liz, you need to cut the guy some slack. You said that he was an "Accident Investigator". Of course he didn't recognize you girl, you are by no means an accident. You are every bit the woman you are and intentional at that.....no accident, nothing for an investigator to notice.

But you have made all of us laugh and smile, thank you.

That's awesome Liz, I got confused for my mum the other week. Awkward was putting it mildly. You're response to his better half was classic. Good for you :)

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie

sometimes you just gotta say it how it is lol

Last Week my 2 year Tranniversary slipped by without me really saying too much about it. I was in the process of organising a new profile pic which I have now done. I have also updat4ed my Pic on the forum to show the progress I have made.

The photo you see of me in guy mode is from 9 months prior to starting HRT in late 2015. It is quite obvious that I am not a "happy camper" and I am always amazed when I see these type pf pics side by side.


The last 2 years have been full of great joys along with the lowest of lows and it is only now after all this time that I am beginning to accept that the "man in mirror" is fading. Each and every time I look in the mirror I see less and less of him. I guess that's progress!!

Wow! That is an amazing transformation Liz. Your new profile pic looks great! Even better is that you look so much happier.

Happy 2 year tranniversary! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji324][emoji324][emoji324]

However, I am a little concerned.....you didn't update us on how many days until GCS. Surely you haven't stopped counting! [emoji23]

Hugs,

Wow girl! Yes, procedures and chemistry do wonders but seeing the spirit and joy in your face, wow, what a change! I must admit when you and I first started writing some of his old spirit was pulling the joy from your heart but now, no sign of that. Yes, the ups and downs still come far to regularly but the Liz that is prominently showing in your picture....it is a pleasure to know you girlfriend.

Liz, I have been following your exploits for some time and all I can say is Bravo!  Looking at the current photo I see a beautiful and happy person.  Happy second tranniversary.  Keep smiling sister!!

But now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.

Never considered myself to be a poster girl for HRT LOL, Sounds good to me though!! but then again I am still chasing "her" in the mirror...my brain is being a little slow to catch up....time will soon fix that.

Thanks Sadie, it feels like progress finally after all this time, especially since I never thought HRT would make that much difference, yet here I am 2 years down the track and feeling as good about myself as I look.


I really do appreciate the comments and input I get from everybody. Sometimes its easy to forget how far we have come and I am as guilty as anyone for doing this.


Take care
