I'm looking into some more surgery options as I'm not happy with the speed of the feedback coming from India. I'm not sure what else there is left to do except change my birth certificate which lies low down on priority list.
When I awoke after the operation I knew I needed to go that last step and get srs, but, I also knew that everything else just felt right! Since a few days ago the pain has almost gone and my usual energy is returning. I don't feel dysphoric in the least, and, it feels like I've crossed a line at which I can be happy.
I like my body, like how things have developed with family, like how things are going with Alicia. Work is fine. I don't know that there is much else to resolve at the moment. This document may have served its purpose.
Its been one heck of a ride! Bit like a freight train with no brakes running down a very steep hill. So many things have changed that I find I stand at the place even I would have called impossible 2 years ago. Thanks for all the support along the way and hopefully this document has some use to others considering transition. I'm sure there will be a whole new step when I finally get some action and dates for srs but for now I might as well as finish as I started.
I have no regrets about yesterday. Today is a totally awesome day. Tomorrow will be a totally awesome day. You just have to have a vision and the courage to face your fears and just about anything is possible.
