Today I bought something that I have not had since the night of August 28, 2005. A bed of my own. I bought a futon (one that also doubles as a couch), and while I will not have the mattress portion until tomorrow (what’s one more night on the floor?), I am finally really putting my apartment together. Sure, I need more furniture, but this is a great start. After 15 months of sleeping on floors and couches, I finally have my own bed. Ever since August of last year, the only times I had a bed was when I was in the hospital, when I lived at my folks and my nephew wasn’t home and I could use his room, and the three times I stayed in a hotel room. Not a great ratio at all. Here’s the best part – this is a futon and won’t be squeaking. When Lexi comes over and………..never mind………
The museum job just keeps getting better all the time. I feel so appreciated there. I am already learning my second role, that of a coal miner. I don’t know if you remember from a past blog posting, but when I auditioned for this job I did it as a coal miner. Little did I know that the people who interviewed me told the other staff there about it. My co-workers were all impressed by what I did.
THE BIG NEWS NOW:
I saw the endo again today. Wow, do I like this guy! I WILL BE GOING ON HORMONES!
First of all, there are a lot of concerns about my blood pressure and cholesterol. My blood pressure is quite high, especially since I do not have medication these days. As for my cholesterol, while my bad cholesterol is high, so is my good.
My blood work came back just great. He is going to put me on hormones soon. We are not doing it right away because he really wants to be involved with this other than just prescribing something, and, in keeping with the SOC (Standards of Care), wants us to be working with a gender clinic. I am the first transsexual patient at this general medical clinic, as well as this endo’s first TS patient overall. He knows I have a therapist who is backing me. He has also been calling places already to make sure we are doing things right. What a guy! So, in a very short period of time, I will finally be on hormones and making my way down the path for good. I see the endo again in March.
What’s wrong with me? These are such different postings than from a year ago.
