Title: First steps
Post by: Button on February 07, 2013, 12:21:50 PM
Wow, the day has arrived for both myself and Andi to take the first surgical steps in making us both happy.
We are going to visit the urologist today who were referred to by Andis brilliant endocronologist and this will be our initial consultation in getting Andi a bilateral orchiectomy.

This is more important as Andi has been on hrt for a while now and I started to get scared about blood clotting ect from her blockers. So I spoke to her and we agreed to speak to the endo and this is what we have come up with.

We made sure that when Andi gets her eventual new parts that this surgery wouldn't affect the end result which is also vitally important to both of us and we are in the clear so here we go wish us luck at 1.00pm kiwi time.

Update:

Highly recommend Andrew Kennedy smith from Wakefield hospital he was a marvel and made us both at ease almost immediately. He is happy to do the surgery but he's going to try and get it done paid for by the government and he said he will organize everything.

We both left happy and can't wait to hear the result,  regardless and get the surgery done.

Woo hoo and its now the weekend this totally rocks.

Has Andi banked anything, just in case you want to have children in the future?

Yes I see her on your chest.  I just wonder, because once they are gone, there is no take backs.  (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-9.gif&hash=42bd2ee88d4ddc91007b3b25799f543e9ee358f1)

But it does make things much better.
