No Point in doing these things by half LOL....meh 34000 walk n the park .....NOT!
I doubt all 34,000 will be watching, but it will definitely be the largest audience I have ever addressed. I can only do this once, so I may as well go for broke! I used to shy away from public speaking, but over the last 18 months I have done many things I once thought were impossible. I am not the same person who started this journey, I am stronger and more confident. I am slowly becoming who I was meant to be.
These last two days had a few positive events...
Monday was my 18-month checkup with my HRT doctor. I mentioned about my upcoming GCS consultation and she congratulated me. Over the weekend I had asked my wife if there was another prescription I should ask for. I figured since she was on board with my pursuing GCS then I should support her needs as long as possible. The doctor sent in a prescription for Viagra.
When I went to the store to pick up my new prescription I ran across a friend I had not seen in over a year, and she had no idea that I had transitioned. I walked over and said 'hello'. It took her a few seconds to realize who I was, then she gave me a big smile and a hug. We talked for about 15 minutes, and she said she was happy that I was doing so well. I told her a few parts of my story, which brought tears to her eyes. Hopefully we can arrange dinner with her and her husband soon.
This morning before I left work to get another root canal, I noticed an email that my blood test results were available. My previous two tests had shown an estradiol level of 64-65pg/ml, so my doctor doubled my patches. Now my level is 247pg/ml !!! That triggered a smile that not even the root canal could dim!
Six more days until my GCS consultation with Dr. Ley. It doesn't seem real yet. Maybe once I get scheduled it will start to sink in.
