Here I am laying in my hospital bed for almost a week now I am recovering from a DVT in my right leg after taking to the doctor and nurses I have come to realize just how lucky I am to be alive my HRT was a major factor in this I will be off hormones for the next 6 weeks I have had a lot of time to think about wether it was worth it should I have died while I definitely want to live I have lived more in the last couple of years since accepting myself than I did in the previous 55 years and especially in the last 6 months of being on HRT so the answer to the question is while I truly wish to live maybe for the first time in my life it is an unequivocal YES

First... I am so glad you are still with us and I wish you speedy and complete healing sister!!!...

Next... Congrats on finding that your choices of late have a solid undepinning of what is truly of value to you... It would seem that expressing your true self is a priceless thing and that knowledge, now tested, will carry you far!!

Wishing you all good things as you move ahead and live each day of a life finally your own...

Hugs!!!

Hi Bobbiesue,

  You didn't just ask that question did you?

  I'm sorry to hear you are one of the few that got caught with the DVT possibility. I'd think it was high time for a change in delivery methods. I too am in that risk group but know the percentages of risk are still low. I have to say I do understand your thought and reasons for your answer because the way I see it I am living on borrowed time anyway having be told I only had months to live twice. The last time was 3 three years ago. So I could drop dead tonight and still be ahead.
  As far as transitioning itself goes I find myself asking that same question and at this point I'm not sure it is worth what it's cost me in life to get to where I am now.
   I'm glad that you have found a better answer.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Thank you ladies for your concern I am due to be discharged from the hospital today and am getting better I have found an even greater desire to be involved in our community and help others to find their own way and accept that they must choose the right path for themselves. My wish for all my sisters and brothers is to find the acceptance of themselves that I have found preferably without  having to face the same worries as I have
