Lost

[Dawn Kellie]

I never get rid of it. I have to concentrate on other noise not to hear it. If I have my allergies acting up it gets far worse. My hear aids can pump different types of sound, music and the like. Sometimes it's not enough. There have been times I wanted to rip my brain out just to get it to stop.
My audiologist tells me the brain produces the noise because it's not getting those frequencies from my ears. It's trying to kick start the hearing.
I'd be happy not hearing the frequencies just tonget it to stop

My youngest told her older sister( my middle child) I'm transgender. Im hoping she can keep her mouth shut until I tell my wife. My youngest swears she will.
Now both my girls want to go shopping with me on the 29th. I think my older daughter I'm sure she will ask me a lot of questions. I'm fine with that. If I can't openly answer her questions I'm only fooling myself. We want to go to another town about an hour and a half away. So plenty of time to get things out.
I'm excited but there is no anxiety about it. Kellie is really developing into a force about her.
My youngest and I came up with I'm D.A.M. dad and mom.
I still want to be dad to my kids. It took so long for them to call me that I don't want to loose it. I will always be papa to my grandchildren. Even if I'm in a flowing skirt with boobs.

Can you not be a mom to them instead? You could always be a bit of a tomboy!

The fact your older daughter wants to go shopping with you after being told is amazing! They are such great kids. What a fantastic day out that will be.

You haven't mentioned your eldest, your son. Do you think he will have an issue with it? Your daughters wouldn't let the cat out of the bag to him would they?

My son is autistic and I don't know how he will take it.
I will always be Kyle. He probably will never understand Kellie. It won't be out of hate or anything. It will be because of the way he processes things.

My youngest already told me I will be the one they come to if something is broke. I told her no matter how I look or act my brain still has certain knowledge and abilities. I will be tomboyish

There has to be some good to come out of living male for so long. Fixing and building things is definitely up there, nothing wrong with that.

One thing that attracted my wife to me was I'm competent. No matter what those skills are there

[Dawn Kellie]

Been a busy couple of days. I've had work and that keeps me busy.
Took a few days off in May. My wife is having eye lid surgery. Sounds hideous.
Hope everyone is doing well.

I have had blepharoplasty on both upper and lower lids. I am squeamish about eyes, but the surgery turned out not to be so bad. There was no pain at all. Just the stitches and some bruising.

Hope all goes well.

I'm Tip Top Kellie. How's your daughter doing? Remind me when you dad/mom daughter shopping trip is again.

Why the surgery? Is it cosmetic or does she have an issue? I have considered Blepharoplasty to fix my hooded eyes and improve the brow a bit.

[Charlotte Kitty ✅]

For me my upper blepharoplasty was healed up in about 6 days. It was by far the easiest bit of my surgery.

[Dawn Kellie]

Our mom/dad shopping it the 29th a couple weeks out.

My wife has gone and lost more than 70lbs and her upper eye lids sag down into her vision. She is having her eyelids lifted. I think it sounds hideous. She thinks she will be down for a day or two at the most. I think she's going to be super uncomfortable and look like a racoon. Doctors make the worst patients.

[Dawn Kellie]

My youngest is getting over her break up. My wife was talking about it to one of her residents. He perked up and got really interested in the conversation.  My daughter may have an up coming date with a doctor. He's a very nice and smart guy. So that is a plus for dad/mom (aka me)

I think you are anticipating the worst, but it isn't nearly that bad. When the surgeon explained the procedure to me, it gave me the heebie-jeebies. It wasn't that bad. I still had stitches and bruising a week after surgery, but it wasn't nearly as uncomfortable as I expected. I took a pic with my stitches in and posted it in my Progression Photos. From a distance, it almost looks like eye makeup. Don't look if you are squeamish, but it includes pre-transition and post-FFS surgery pics.

I couldn't be married to a medical professional and very squeamish. The stories and descriptions I get at times would curl your nose hair. The kids are so used to it they don't even think about where they are. We've been in restaurants and I've had to tell them to bring the volume down. Some people don't take it well.

A date with a doctor? She bounced back quick and hit the jackpot there! ha ha!

I guess there are 2 doctors my wife is try6tonset my daughter up with. Not at the same time.

My journeyman's test is tomorrow and I'm supposed to be studying. Having a hard time with it. It's not that I don't know the material. after as many years that I have done my job I should. I'm just having troubles concentrating.
I have a preliminary consultation with an HRT provider this evening. I'm looking forward to it

[Lori Dee ✅]

Good luck on both, Kellie!

Just remember, on the test, you already know the answers. Sometimes it takes a little figuring, but you know how to do that. I think you will do fine.

I appreciate the boost.
I have my wife and kids but no other real friends. That is until I found Susan's. Coming here always gives me a boost.
Between you , @Stottie Girl, @Charlotte Kitty and so many others. I feel I've found a cheering section and people that understand me

[Lori Dee ✅]

I'll break out the pom-poms for you.

Go, Kellie, go!

Rah, rah, ree.
Kick them in the knee!

Rah, rah, rass.
Kick them in the... other knee!
