An Aussie Girls GCS Story

[LizK]

3 Days

Didn't sleep to bad last night...the opposite from the previous night and was really warm...we are having some storms come through soon so hopefully will clear the air.

I had a knock on the door from Cindy just as the phone went with Knox Hospital Admissions wanting to go through the admission form. Meryl got coffee organised and chatted with Cindy whilst I sorted out Knox. After about 20 minutes and with my confidence slightly shaken I sat down for coffee with Cindy. She didn't have long but long enough to wish me all the best and give me a gift. Picture below

The Note said from Cindy and all the Susans Gang

Thank you Cindy and to all the "Susans Gang" I am looking forward to being able to sit and eat these beautiful chocolates. Meryl received a box and was very touched by the gift, I would say once I am relased from Hospital we will sit and have some nice coffee and sample these wonderful Bracegirdles Chocolates. Thank you to everyone involved I was really touched.


After a getting myself made up and ready this morning I went off to the pharmacy to get my 3 Flagyll and 2 pkts of bowel prep. While the script was filled I went off and bought some bits and pieces I needed  inbcluding a couple a new belts a and a cute top...Back to the pharmacy only to have a nice interaction with the ladies waiting in line..girl chat...The lady went off to get my script and was gone for quite some time and as she approaced the bench I could see there was only one item on the tray...eh sorry...can't fill the flagyll no dosage on the scrip pointing...sure enough no dosage... called Mr Ives rooms and spoke to one of the girls there and she definitely sounded wary when she realised it was me but as soon as I said about the script she relaxed immeadiately, I guess Saturday morning phone calls 3 days out from Surgery are noty always good....I was surprised to get her so I gave the chemist the number and he rang Mr Ives rooms...5 minutes later all I am heading out the door with Flagyl in hand. Great!!

I was packing my Oestrogen Gel pkts today and thinking looking at the litle siler packets how many I will need for the bath tub I am going fill up with Oestrogen Gel and soak in for a week when this is finished...lwho's with me!!

I have one very simple task left to do and that is pack...I have everything I need now and will spend the time I have left with Meryl, My Daughters and my suitcase. I have a list of stuff I am taking which is a pretty good guide...I am not going to need much as I don't expect to be out and about that much after only 1 week. The first week I am not going to really need much at all as I will be nursed in a gown then released in to the wild to fend for myself...ok so not quite the wild...but to the apartment and it will be then that I will begin to need some clothes.


I am in full procrasitnation mode and might just go off and have something to eat...got all afternoon and tomorrow to pack my bag so long as I have everthing ready I will be fine.... Everything is ready...at least I am pretty sure it is.LOL

I cannot imagine how you must be feeling right now, but I will be at the same point in early April! It is probably an odd feeling, knowing that in just a few days your body will finally match your mind. My wife and I will be thinking about you, and we wish you all the best!

Love always -- Jessica Rose

Hi Jessica Rose

It's not so much an odd feeling, as a feeling more akin to "Holy GCS Batgirl"....I don't know what it will feel like nor what to expect but when I allow myself to think of it as being real I get this fleeting kind of excited squirming sensation ...I have thought about all my other surgeries and each one has been to "fix" something that is not working correctly...for this surgery there was nothing wrong with that tissues functionality however after long consideration I do think it can be put to a better purpose...so rather than removing, I am thinking of this as creating something new from something that is "surplus to requirements" LOL  Thank you for your kind words of support.

Feeling Good, Feeling Healthy, Feeling Positive, Feeling a little bit less Ditzy.....

would quote your comment but not worked out how yet so " to make something new out of something not needed" I totally agree , something that never operated properly for me anyway. Don't forget your lucky nickers when you pack XXXXXXXXXXX

Quick Update

I had a terrible night last night and up really early this morning. Mostly due to my stupid hip.

I was able to use the time and have sorted out my boarding pass and cleared some room so I can get everything I need to pack in one spot and check I have it all in front of me before I pack. I will write a proper update later after I am done.

Tomorrow TOMORROW eeeeeEEEEEKKKKK!!! Liz runs(hobbles) shrieking into the  back yard (Benny Hill chase style) ...no that's not true at all...I am experiencing a whole raft of emotions none of which is being helped by my lack of hormones. Its all it a crazy when you think about it....anyway I have plenty to do so better get on and do it...

Thanks Randy...funny you should mention impatient...I am always in a hurry to get out of hospitals....I have seen the inside of so many that I have this real aversion that I just can't shake...I need to pull my head in and let the nurse and Drs do their job 

Take care

Thanks for the link I have not heard the acoustic version before. The song itself probably speaks to most of us in some way and possibly the writer in the same way.

I have around a dozen or so tracks i listen when i am down and start to struggle..but enough of me..

I am blown away by your courage and strength... I am in awe , and go daily (the last 2 weeks) if liz can! I can!.. and so i soldier on as they say.

i recently ran low and had to drop my spiro dose in half (1 tablet per day) and that hit me like a ton of bricks on day 2 and stayed till i got a new script.. and 1 day after normal dose all back to normal physically..

all the best liz, all the best

Peace to you and yours

have a great day everyone

I will try to enjoy working at shania twain concert.

ps i really love her music, now thats a women who has overcome many things..

I have to say I am slightly envious of you r getting ot work at Shania Twain...Every trans woman secret anthem..it was mine !!


Thank you for the kind words most of the time its about putting one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward even if its only a millimetre...backwards is not an option.
