Title: Update re SRS
Post by: Nigella on May 26, 2010, 06:37:38 PM
Hi everyone,

Yippee, my consultation with my surgeon yesterday went very well and I was offered 13th July for my SRS. It was his last date until the autumn so I took it. Now I'm freaking out as its just over six weeks time and so many things to buy, travel arrangements to make,etc,etc.

Mr Thomas told me he would only have to do a penile inversion and not the scrotal so he can use the scrotal for labia etc.

The consultation was quite stressful and emotional just about come back down today.

Can someone explain how to get my ticker counter up again I've forgotten, yeah I know, blond moment, lol.

Just thought I'd keep you all posted with the news

Good news

July 13th. Good date - 6 weeks off work - summer of recuperation whilst lying on beach! :D

Clever girl!

I'm glad someone had a good day yesterday! Mine was awful and sadly today wasn't much better. Still struggling to find an ending for my book plot. ::)

Hi all again,

Thanks everyone, yeah, I couldn't believe being given the last date before the autumn, it would have meant waiting until end of September/October. And as Jenny has said, its better weather (I hope). So much to do now though, lol. I can't believe I will soon be whole and complete after so many years. It seems a little surreal at the moment.

Congratulations, Stardust!  It'll keep you busy getting ready.

I think if you put the 'img' in square brackets - [ img ] - and the ending one with a slash - [ /img ] - it should work.  Don't put in the spaces - I just did that so that it will show up here.

:icon_dance: Stardust!

- Kate

EDIT: Here's what worked for me.  Take out all of the spaces and add your own ticker.

Thanks Hun, Are you more freaked out because of stopping your Hormones? or of the surgery it self? I'm freaked out because of both and what exactly to pack lol. I don't wanna take to much but I don't wanna take to less either.

Thanks Melan ;D. I hope your up-coming surgery makes you feel better.

Hi MsGiselle,

I'm freaking out because of both and the fact that I didn't know my surgery was going to be so soon, only found out on Tuesday after seeing the surgeon and he had this one space left before the autumn. So its a combination of getting everything together, what do I need to buy, and all the above, lol.

Hi again,

We are now on the same date, my surgery was bumped back to the 15th July because of someone else who needs extra care on the original date. What's two more days in the scheme of things apart from another two days of freaking out, lol.

Now if only I can change my ticker?
Title: Re: Update re SRS
Post by: FairyGirl on June 11, 2010, 04:32:34 PM
if you look a the BB code for your ticker you will see the date embedded in the code. Just change the date and that should work.

For instance, in the code for my previous ticker from Ticker Factory it has the date embedded as: 20100621

That is: yyyymmdd

so just find your date in your code and add 2 days! ;)

Only a week to go Chloe, you are entitled to freak out and get excited all at the same time. I am and mines a month away.

I hope it goes well for you Chloe and heal quickly.  :icon_geekdance:

No wifi, omg I would freak out at that as well, lol.  :icon_yikes:
