Dorit's GRS

[Linde]

I am now one month post-op.    I just returned from my first checkup with the Israel medical services  surgeon and gynecologist for the transgender community.   They declared that the work of my GRS surgeon, Dr. Sherman Leis in Philadelphia was excellent, and that my recovery was progressing well.   It was so reassuring to me that I cried.  They gave me some treatment and advice for the minor complications that I have been suffering and assured me that they will heal.

I feel I have reached a milestone in my recovery that has been a real suffering and challenge for me emotionally.    I know that I am still far from normal, but see a real progress in healing that was just confirmed by the doctors.   Also even though it is a whole day trip to Tel Aviv and back, I now have a "home" for my care that is made up of a loving and encouraging staff, instead of trying to relate to a local gynecologist that has absolutely no experience with transgender patients that have been through GRS.     I am happy and grateful!

This is great news!  And going to Tel Aviv is not all that bad.  I remember from long ago, how fun it was to sit in one of the street side cafe's along Dizengoff and watch the people parading by!
Good luck for your further recovery!
