  I've finished with the Gabapentin withdraw. Dizziness, mode swings, etc. Feeling much better now and found a herbals that works for the restless legs. Diet has been a real challenge, not much loss, 3lbs, but some shape changes. Stomach is slimming and boobs continue to grow. Had on a nice pushup bra and was overflowing, much to my delight. Then wore a tight fitting top and shorts to Walmart last night. My wife urged me to button up so as not to show the cleavage. Still looked good, and was Mam'ed a couple of times. Been hitting the elliptical every night. Defiantly helping tone me up without adding bulk.
  Deck railing came in, now 2 days of rain forecast. It will have to wait. 
  Only 39 days till bottom surgery!! Whoohoo! So much I want to get done before then and starting to feel the crunch.
   Voice lessons are going well. Focusing a lot on voice strengthen and range exercises. Less breathiness, more emphasis on speaking each word more clearly projected out and not from the chest or throat. I'm working with a nice voice app which helps with the pitch and offers playback.

Hi Gina,

You have been a busy girl!

I'm busy working on the yard.  I'm taking out the invasive plants.
Lots of work but I now have the time to do that!  Plants die if they never have leaves.
Some just need a good whack with a shovel or Sawzall!
Which reminds to get my DeWalt out of the basement.

I can attest - you're looking great, Gina! And I'm super excited about your upcoming surgery. I so happy that the day is almost upon us. Looking forward to visiting while you recuperate.

   Thanks all. Courtney, so good to have a friend who I can confide in and talk to. Your invaluable. Added to that your great fisherwoman!
   Went on our weekly trail ride yesterday. We were able to beat the rain that was moving. Just a great day then a customer calls for an emergency repair and it took me 2 hrs just to get the door closed. One of those repairs where everything went wrong. My wife said, "see you were not supposed to go!" There will always be repairs where things go wrong.
  It's raining here and supposed to continue all day. I'm looking forward to a slow start and and getting some inside stuff done.

Trail ridding yesterday, I had to dismount to move a branch out of the trail. When I went to mount up I noticed I was having a hard time reaching the stirrup with my foot. I mentioned to my wife if I was getting shorter or the stirrups were farther up? To which she replied you are getting shorter. Call it pelvic tilt or old age or both, went from 5'11" to 5'8". It made me happy that she noticed it too.

Dear Gina: 

I hate to "break it" to you....
...but as one gets older their spine compresses, so it is just not only the HRT.

In a MTF transition journey it is NOT necessarily an unwelcome development.


HUGS, Danielle
