• More coming out

  by Meredith Newton October 11, 2008
  My department had a sunset cruise on Lake Michigan Thursday night.  It was a good time.  We were on one of the large cruise ships that dock at Navy Pier.  On the way over they chartered a double decker bus, complete with a docent.  Uh oh.  I used to do that but on the boats!  I got a little vocal wh...

  Girls, in my last blog just two days ago I wrote about that harrassment training I had to go through, and how I asked a question about what legal protections trasngendered persons have.Apparently, this has literally sent the museum into a tizzy!My friend Kelly - who does know about me (hell, I gave ...

• Blood, bravery and recognition

  by Meredith Newton October 3, 2008
  I had the follow-up with my doctor the other day.  The good news?  My blood work came back just great, including my liver results.  That means, again, HRT is a possibility.  My blood pressure is down, but my cholesterol is still high.  That was no surprise.  He is trying some new meds on me for the ...

• Finally, a rest

  by Meredith Newton September 29, 2008
  On Wednesday I have a follow-up with my new doctor concerning my blood work.  Since he has not called me in any sort of panic, that tells me that things should be fine.  When I see him he's going to refer me to some endos who are friends of his.  Look out!  HRT is just around the corner!Once again, ...

• After the brief intermission.......

  by Meredith Newton September 4, 2008
  Yesterday I met with my new doctor, and I must say I like him a LOT.  He was totally cool about my being a TS, and is going to support me in transitioning.  Plus, girls, if you're into men, he is quite good looking, too.  He was such a nice guy.Although I have been previously cleared for HRT, those ...

• Almost did it, and an anniversary

  by Meredith Newton September 1, 2008
  The senior coordinator for my team at work had a barbeque yesterday at his house after work.  I did go, although Josie could not be with me, and I had a nice time.  A lot of my coworkers showed up, and we made the usual jokes.  We are getting ready to shoot another movie for You Tube.  My friend Fre...

• Back on track

  by Meredith Newton August 28, 2008
  I finally made an appointment with a new doctor.  I held off for a while because I did not know where I might be living.  Now that I know I am staying here for another year, it was time to get back in to everything.  My breathing problems have been getting better.  I just need to get back on track w...
