Its not that. I can tell you exactly what it is. I'm a 40 year old trying to look like a 25 year old. Its that I still feal like I did when I was 20 and I have a deep down regret that keeps coming back to haunt me. The regret of not doing this years ago. I didn't get to live my teenage years as a girl, so that is why I want the surgeries to turn back the years. I will never be happy until I do. That was really hard for me to admit by the way. lol
Hugs,

Dear Chelsea, 06 May 2018
I also feel like I'm 25, sometimes when I look in the mirror I don't know who it is that is staring back at me. Like you, I wish I had done this years ago. I didn't and am now doing it. There is no way I can look 25. The US government doesn't have enough money to make that happen. Yes, the cosmetic surgeons can do some things, but there are limits. Yes, I plan on having some cosmetic surgery later this year once the weather turns cold; I don't want to waste the good weather lying around while surgical wounds heal, I'll save that for winter when I'm not as active.
On the ninth of April I went for a consultation with the surgeon that was going to do My orchiectomy, Dr. Peter Raphael, a plastic surgeon in Plano, Texas. We discussed a full range of surgical options along with the orchi. He showed me what I could realistically expect; I could look about 60. I have my second orchi post op tomorrow late morning with Dr. Raphael. I plan to discuss what I have decided to do cosmetically, which is to remove the saggy facial and neck skin and to fix my nose which has bugged me from day one. It was so large they had to do a "C" section to get me out.
I'll let you know tomorrow what he tells me. I have also been letting my hair grow since I had the orchi on the 13th of April. The hair along the sides and back is nice and thick, the crown looks like a golf tee box frequented by rank amateurs, divots everywhere interspersed with noxious weeds and mowed with a dull blade.
Please don't be too critical of yourself. When I saw your latest photos I thought you looked like you are in your early 20's. I calculated your age as maybe 35 from the things you have said in your posts. You look so fantastic you haven't a thing to worry about in passing. I'll revise what I said in an earlier post about being 48 years younger; if I was anywhere near your age, plus or minus, I'd be camping on your doorstep. Be proud of what and who you are, how you look and know that you are loved and respected; you are a beautiful person. Please take care of yourself.
Talk to you tomorrow, hasta luego mis amiga.
Best Always; see you at the races,
Christine
