A couple days ago, right before I joined up here, I had sent an email to my ol' TG therapist, I hadn't talked to her since end of 2005, summed up to her everything that had gone on in my life, pretty much most of what I said in my introduction post on here. Anyway, we emailed each other back and forth several times over the past couple days, and last night, I asked her:
"I'm wondering, if I happen to find an endocrinologist in my area that accepts transgenders, obviously I need a note from a therapist most likely before they would even consider giving me hormones, would you be able to provide such for me, or has it been too long since you've seen me? And if that's the case could it be possible that we could have sessions long distance, via phone, email, webcam, whatever, and figure out a payment method as well as how often, or do you not do those? Because I'm also wondering, if I were to see someone else, another therapist, whether I'd have to start all over again from scratch just because its been awhile or just because its someone else new, and have to wait another whole year without hormones as I had to when I first started on them so many years ago, before I can get back on them again? I'm kinda antsy right now, guess I really didn't forsee all of what has happen to put me in the predicament that I'm in now, seemingly back to the beginning again."She replied back:
"Hello, Megan. I can write a letter for you if you find an endo; however, I also would like to have a couple of sessions with you before sendign it. I have webcam and would be happy to do that with you. We can set up a payment method for our sessions and the writing of the letter. That will be fine with me.
I am booked quite heavily for next week and I'm away the week after. Maybe we could work something out the week of May 16. That would give you some time to fine an endo."I am so happy right now!
Sure nothing has been set or approved yet, I still gotta hunt me down an endo that'll accept me, but at least she's willing to work with me again and over long distance, so even if I don't find an endo right away, at least I will be talking with her which will give me some options again.
