No surgery this September

[lilacwoman]

Early July the surgeon told me he could do the job in September so all July and August I've been waiting to hear - things can go slow over here as my surgery needs extra funding - so on Wednesday Sept 1st I decided I'd better ask what is happening.
Called the surgeon but only answer machine and they didn't call back.
I called the local funding committee but only answer machine and they didn't call back.
So I had a miserable day.
Yesterday afternoon I called the surgeon's secretary and she told me she had sent letter to my shrink.
The funding committee guy called to say they have had no request from funding from the surgeon. 
I called the shrink's office but was told no letter received.
I called the funding committee to ask what I do now and he says on Tuesday he emailed the gender clinic about me.  But I said I have finished with gender clinic as they refused to refer me to this surgeon!   He said someone has to decide if the surgery I want is good for me!
I said the shrink had written to them to say yes it was.  So he says well if he shrink says that and you feel you want the surgery then we should fund it!  But we won't be making a decision until end of next week.
So I said but I was promised September.  No reply.
So all I know now is that I've still got an unknown wait.
And they wonder why TS have such high rates of suicide.
Someone must be stretching the truth about missing letters as why call the gender clinic on Tuesday?

I hate when people treat us like retards!  Sounds like someone screwed up and they are just stalling.  Keep on them and call them each week until this gets resolved.  For some reason incompetence is rampant world wide, and it seems that the simplest things have now become so difficult.  You'll get it, just stay on it.  Good luck, hon!

OMG. LOL Thanks that's so super sweet of you to say, you just made my day. 

First off sweetie that's just a good pick, I'm not perfect not even close, I can send you some bad picks if you want. 

The purpose of my trip to Montreal,  yes indeed is for my SRS.    I was considering a small procedure called a lip lift to reduce the amount of space between the upper lip and nose but that's not a for sure thing, i wanna talk to Dr B first.

You are very attractive too as are a lot of the ladies on Susan's who don't even post their pics. I know first hand i see some of them.

Whatever you do, keep your cool. This must be so frustrating for you. But take it on the chin.

If you show any emotion here you will probably find your date being put back much more.

Sorry, but this is one of those times when a cool head is called for.

Take care. Susans' is the place to vent. Not these people.
