Hey Ladies,
Well I have been in therapy for almost a year now.. and on HRT for 8 months.
Its been quite a ride.. a roller coaster ride of emotions for sure. This has not been easy at all and a river of tears have flowed.. To those of you just starting I promise it gets better... therapy is a must and if you don't like the one you pick change....but stick with it...
Many things in life has changed.. My wife and I are legally separated and I live 13 doors down from her.. We love each other and are together all the time.. work together and just best best friends. My wife is getting facial surgery to look fabulous this week and boob job in another month or so.. I am happy for her..
I am getting E3000 in Dallas Sept 4 and 5th.. and on September 18th getting hair extensions so my hair will be past my shoulders..
I am doing Great lengths hair with some highlights..
Transition update: I have gained a little of my 70 lbs I lost back but its in my chest, hips and legs.. all the right places.. I have a figure and am still a size 8. I got lucky at age 55 on the HRT thing.. its working wonders and really freaks me out in a good way.
My face continues to change.
I pass as a dude still but barely.. I have a chest thats hard to hide and my hair is getting long.. My wife says its confusing for others...
I want SRS so at this point since I work from home I may as well go full time after I get extensions and get the 12 month rle behind me.
When I started HRT I wanted to do it just to settle me down a bit but for me HRT has allowed the real me to emerge and I love being real... its so wonderful to just be yourself and feel normal.... :)
Spelling of my name will change to Kerrie, Keri or Kari.. my son family are choosing for me.... My middle name will be Elizabeth after my Grand mother Dolly.....
Going full time is no big deal.. I am ready for the challenge and should pass hands down.. although now my biggest challenge is voice however I have kind of a high voice anyway.
Other challenge is neighbors... my whole family knows and all my extended family and friends know and all is good there..
Just not sure if I should tell neighbors I hardly know.. or just blow it off.. and mind my own business...its a dilemma ..... but whatever..
So, after I get hair and go full time will post before and after pics....I am hoping for the best....
Wow I feel SO happy for you Carrie...and thank you SO much for your support in the other thread.
How great you can be MORE free by coming out in so many more aspects of your life.
I don't want to say anything that might offend anyone, so I will leave it at that. I won't talk about ME, only about YOU.
The support you are getting from your wife is fantastic.
You sound SO happy.
May your true happiness continue.
Johanna.
