Safe passage on your path, popcorn?

    Welcome Smitty you have come to a wonderful place with lots of help. I to am a vet ,VN 1970-1971 and go to the VA, what a cluster, hope yours is better than the two I deal with.Started HRT 12-25-2013 and I know what you mean about walking into the VA dressed, the day I did that was the day I started full time.If you have the courage to walk in there with all those brave men you can go anywhere and that was the last time I dressed as a male.   Patty

Hi to you!

I am 56 and just 10 weeks on HRT.  I have great results so far, both physically and mentally -- and the emotional changes are the strongest.

At 65, if your doctor says your health is otherwise good enough to do it, you should be able to...!

Safe journeys!

Johanna.

Since you are on SS, I assume you are on Medicare. Medicare now covers SRS. You could be in good shape yet.
