Hi Davina,

  Got to keep those kidneys happy. I hope the problem was an error in the testing and everything is okay this time.

My doctors like to keep an eye on my liver and kidney tests. Liver because I take a statin again for cholesterol and kidney because it the only one I have left.

  Keep us updated girl.

Hugs,

Thanks girls, will be about a week before results come back. Was going drag racing tomorrow but forecast is rain, never mind camper to weld. Still trying to lose weight but stuck on 14st 2 lb, have porridge and a banana for breakfast, a salad with a bit of sandwich meat (beef or ham) that's a handful of lettuce , chunk of celery, 3 thick slices of cucumber, cherry tomatoes, beetroot and a splash of Cesar salad dressing and an apple . for Tea its a bowl of curry or stir fry chicken with black bean sauce or sweet and sour. maybe Toad in the Hole with carrots , potatoes , cauliflower ect. Had slow cooker chicken thighs with pots, parsnip, carrots, shallot tonight and rhubarb yogurt for pud .   Dried fruit if still hungry , green tea , coffee in the day so don't think my diet is bad

Club night yesterday and the lads filled my deed poll forms in for me, one step closer to being Davina. Doc phoned me tonight and they want a urine sample to check kidneys after 2 duff blood tests, bugger its holding up my HRT. She did say it may not matter so fingers crossed. will be eating veg and drinking water for the next 2 weeks to see if that helps? The wigs I ordered might take up to 3 weeks to come, sounds like made to order lets hope they fit.

shoes and socks came today, have a look in "what made you happy today" as not posting photos again. Have been wearing the gold pair for 2 hrs now and  feet feel fine. I think gold shoes will go with everything. Have the day off tomorrow , more camper welding I think in the morning.

So looked for a IPL as fed up with shaving my arms and ending up looking like I do self harm, any ways looked at Boots the chemist site and found a Panasonic for £170 reduced from £400  and it has 4.7 out of5 rating and on its way. Just hope it works. Next Wednesday after Docs have an appointment with solicitor to fill in Deed Poll , one step closer.

Hi Davina

I picked up a Remington home IPL that was reduced from 600 to $200 and have given myself 7 treatments under my arms and I have reduced the hair by about 90%...I may not have to shave my underarms at each weekly treatment now. I was astonished at how well it worked. I don't know how permanent it is but it seems to keep me hair free as long as I use it...the black hair on my arms and hands has reduced steadily. I even did my neck and I have had some shedding...OK so there were only a couple anyway  ;D but it certainly took care of them. Will be interest to hear how you go...Oh yeah the backs of my finger where I would get the odd stray have gone as well.

I invested in the Tria 4X. I just started using it a week ago, so it'll be a while before I know if it works. Each zap certainly feels like the professional treatments, and that's not even full power.

Mine came with the same warning about the male beard and the reason it gave was that results were likely to be patchy...we already know IPL isn't great for male beard but I still keep zapping the black ones as they very few anyway...I have gotten some shedding...but like I said in a previous post I have had good results from underarms and on my arms...I started on my legs last week

Good news day :icon_geekdance: Went to my GP this morning and they have agreed to do joint HRT management with GenderGP ,  might be a nice Christmas present, kidney results showed up as 70 year  old readings so urine sample has gone off for test. Got my Deed Poll signed by solicitor and only cost £10 so went and celebrated by buying  Christmas earrings and a long chain necklace that hangs between the girls and also found a nice night dress that's below knees . My other ones are a bit short and ride up over my bum , OK when its hot but winters coming. Talking of that I got a nice jumper as well .Was  off down my lock up to work on bus but my youngest has the key so lazy afternoon, TBH need it.

Personally I would go the baggy and maybe use a couple of correctly placed safety pins to adjust where you need too. Personally I don't like that squashed into a dress look....as far as Name change went...I didn't give it much thought and now have some confusions as I get them all so when mail comes addressed to "E" it could be me or my Daughter unless it is Mrs. Other than that is really depends on what you personally prefer.

Wearing the size 20 now and not that loose as its shaped , makes it look like I have a waist and hips!!!! Saw the wife this morning when picking up my lockup key from youngest lad and asked her for letter so I can go forward with name change but didn't press it as her dad is in hospital with a burst abscess so she was of to see him this afternoon, we have arranged a meeting a week tomorrow to sort things out what ever that will be.
