Title: A new Oday
Post by: DawnOday on August 16, 2016, 02:37:15 PM
Went to the Docs this morning and lo and behold I walked out with estridol. I don't know if the smile will ever wear off my face. 60 years in the making. Imagine five months ago I was just searching for answers to a failed marriage. But this time when I went to therapy I told the truth and my whole past came into crystal clear focus. And now I start my  journey. For the first time in a long time I'm excited and I want to talk about a future. I have no illusions this is a magic pill and somehow I will be 20 again. Or even different that much. Not going to happen. But one thing that will, is the potion going through my veins will right a wrong that occurred before I was born.

Day 3 observations,
Slept really great last night. The noise in my ears has subsided to almost not existence. A calm I don't believe I've ever felt before. You will need some tools if you want to take the smile off my face. I can't believe it. I woke up this morning and CLEANED the kitchen. I was paralysed before, caught in my own thoughts. As an introvert all my life it is so wonderful to take in the world for once. I do not know if it is the hormones or wishful thinking. But I'd like to think it was the hormones. Maybe they appear to be working because I have been on spiro for 25 years. It all so new and wonderful. My brain is on overload in a good way. Other weird stuff. I caught myself wagging my finger while talking. I actually moved my hips to the music I was listening to. Lastly I actually sang in tune. Now I don't know, but I tell you it NEVER happened before.

Thanks Chris. I don't know if I could have got it done if not for meeting you. However apprehensive I was. I learned a lot about courage and presenting the person you want to be. Still don't think I'll be dressing to go outside just yet but little steps.
