I'm not going to click on that link Dev as I don't want more bad news right now! I know you will have posted whatever it was from a place of genuine care and wanting to help though. I do appreciate that, really I do.

I might not always see eye to eye with what you say Dev, but I can see the kindness in you, and most of the time I actually do agree with you (gasp! shocking I know lol!)

I will plod on through it until I hit the next obstacle and if I have to remain on private HRT in the short term then post orchie, the cost for just E is tiny compared to what I am forking out currently.

I am also wanting an Orchi that is on my list of things but I will probably address that later. Luckily we have informed consent now in the US so we have an easier path to HRT. Keep us posted on the GP.

Thanks Tammy, will do.

Quote from: Stottie Girl on July 28, 2026, 11:06:52 AMI'm into my 5th week of being stuck in male mode. I feel like I should be chalking the days on the wall!

The only time I can be me is in the bath when I can spend time shaving my legs and pits, applying lotions and moisturisers and generally pampering myself before emerging back into male prison.

I can see my bedroom being finished in a couple of weeks, then I need my kitchen installed or at least some function to it and I can move in. I'm tempted to move in as soon as my bedroom is done and just go round to my folks for meals or eat out. I'm climbing the walls here. My whole life is on hold.

At least I'm not falling into depression like I was before. It is just massively frustrating.
I get it! A trip to the desert in male mode 18 months ago helped launch me toward coming out.

It's easy to forget how terrible male-mode feels. If we're forced to do it, it reminds us painfully about why we transition. Anyhoo I'd absolutely support your idea of moving in when the bedroom is ready. Living on microwaved food and washing the dishes in the bathroom for a couple of weeks might be an option too, it's certainly less painful than living in that dudeprison.

Got the carcasses up for my new full height wardrobes. I'm going to put the shelves, rails and lighting in tomorrow, fix the window blind up and I'm ready to order the Bedroom Carpet. I nearly have my sanctuary back! Also need to finish bricking up where I put the new waste pipes in today plus put a new copper pipe run in to the rear garden tap. Then I can start fixing up the Kitchen cabinets but the worktops won't arrive until the 1st September which is a bit disapointing. Once the bedroom is set up and carpets are in I'm tempted to move in finally.

Still none the wiser as to the fluid build up in my legs, it's still there. Had my abdominal ultrasound which found no cause but the report says I may have a porcelain gall bladder, bloody hope not, can't be doing with surgery for that on top of everything else. Will have to wait and see what my GP suggests on the 25th, probably off for a CT scan, lovely😐

Do you suspect the fluid buildup has anything to do with your activity level?

I mean, seriously, Sarah, you have accomplished A LOT!

Does it seem to ease on off days when you are less busy?

Just curious. I hope they figure it out soon. You have moving in to do!

I'm happy about that part.
