Aloha! 
 
   Yesterday, I had breast augmentation surgery.  Oh my God  I feel wonderful!!!  I fretted for weeks.  I mean, I'm 47 years old, with AIDS and in a wheelchair why pursue my dream, right?  Hell, I don't have many trans friends here in San Francisco.  But, I have to say, being true to myself has given me the strength to look beyond whatever limitations I may have in front of me because I know I will always do better.  That's what being a transwoman means to me--  I will always strive to be better.
Don't really know what to write here...  So I'll just write a little about myself.  For conciseness, I am a 48 y/o pre-op transsexual who's in a wheelchair.  I'm wheelchair bound due to AVN(avascular necrosis) which took three and a half inches from my right femur and I acquired due to HIV.  I got infected by the first man I was ever with.  So, after spending 40+ years in Texas and getting three felonies, I decided to move to San Francisco.
  I got here in 2010 and continued to drug myself until something happened...  I don't remember exactly what happened, but I do know I did something to ease my pain, which didn't help and I ended up in the ER.  After that, mind you I could still walk, barely, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis.  Immediately I was sent to a hospital in really bad shape.  I was addicted to a copious amount of drugs and weighed less than 90lbs.  I was near death.  I spent two and a half years in hospital, quit drugs, got my own place and am doing quite well.

Congrats to you, Cymoril!!! The old saying, "If someone gives you lemons, make lemonade", always ring true. No matter what difficulties are thrown at you in life, you have to hold your head up and make the best of it. This can seem impossible to do at times, but reaching out to your inner strength, your beliefs and the friends around you can work miracles. After my heart attack, and at 65, I thought enjoying life would only be my memory of my past, but in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice, I told the depression inside me to "GET OUT". I'm squeezing out those lemons and soon plan an orchi as well as breast augmentation. Hugs for you!  :eusa_dance: :eusa_dance:
