Thank you all for your welcome.
Nina, I Have been full time including work for six months and have been on HRT for four months. From those points of view things have gone exceptionally well.
I do have problems with family though. The people I thought may dis-own me have accepted the situation unconditionally and the people I thought would be okay with it have found it hard to accept. So the situation is that I have separated from my wife of 27 years ( she has known about 'me' for over 30 years ) and the relationship with my children is shaky to say the least. Having said that, I have not regretted the decision I made at any point as it was a necessity not a choice for my own health.
