Hi, I'm DI. At 60 I have finally decided to start the transition. I have top surgery scheduled for Jan 22 2013. My family doctor is going to start my T shortly. I have been married for 30 years, together for 31 and my husband is very supportive of my transition. He knows how much turmoil and pain I have gone through ever since I was a little one and suspected I wasn't the gender everyone treated me as. As my mom said when I told her and my sister that I finally figured out why I had felt the way I did all my life.... 'you always wanted to be a boy..'. I told her, 'mom, I always WAS a boy'. My mom does not know of the transition yet, but my sister is totally supportive. Just a quick question.. how do I get a ticker for pre-surgery, post T, etc. I went on their site and couldn't find the ones I wanted.

Welcomee to Susans, Di. Congrats to you on your upcoming surgery.

OK, I have my ticker made, the code copied etc. Now what. Go slow and step by step cause sometimes it takes me a bit...

Save it to your computer.  You will need 12 more posts to be able to add it to your profile.  Don't worry, you will get there quick.

Hi DI, it's nice to meet you! I'm 29 and holding...been holding for decades! Go hit the "What are you eating/reading/watching/listening to" threads and you'll have fifteen posts before you know it. Hugs, Devlyn

Hi Di ,

A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.

There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in and start talking.

You have a very special husband, very understanding and compassionate. You are indeed a lucky man. Hope your surgery goes well and that you recover quickly. Fancy no housework for a few months   

Embrace the journey you are about to commence with 'T'. It'll be a real eye opener.

Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.

Lotsa huggs
Catherine
