Title: Hello Everybody
Post by: oliviarium on September 19, 2016, 01:14:23 PM
Hello! 

My name is Olivia.  I'm 44, I live in Arizona, I'm a mom to six children (big blended family, 3 boys, 3 girls, ages 7 to 17), and about four weeks ago "completed" my transition (in the sense that such things can be completed) with the assistance of Dr. Melzter :)

I married my wife Kayden in October of last year and we were featured in Phoenix Bride & Groom magazine which was super-neat!

We both work full time, and have our children half of the time.  When we are not juggling work and cooking for eight, we like to go out and have other people cook for us, or work on repairing or expanding our collection of classic 80s arcade games, of which we have over two dozen.

I am here because I like reading things, writing things, and talking to people.  I'm always willing to talk about my experiences to anyone who will find them useful and is nice about it :) with the caveat that they are my experiences and YMMV.

Thanks!

Welcome to Susan's Place neighbor. I am in the Phoenix area. Post surgical are welcome as you will be a good source of information for others on the site. Far to often I see people complete their transition and then delete their account. There is life after surgery (in my case, a bunch of it) and it's helpful to others to know about it. Should there be anything I can help you with, let me know.
