Getting there, slowly…

If anyone were to ask me how my transition is going, that may well be the answer. I’ve heard many different descriptions of this "journey", ranging from "hell" to "blessed". Long and slow certainly seems to apply in most cases.

However, some news: today I got a letter from Charing Cross offering me an appointment in November and please could I confirm that I really want one. YES. Consider it confirmed.

So nearly 4 months to wait, but that’s the NHS for you. I will play it by the book for as long as is tolerable. I hear so many horror stories from the House of Charing Cross and the various surgeons and institutions they refer people to, but I‘m trying not to listen, or at least to remain open-minded. Better to arrive impartial and wanting them to help me, rather than cynical and prejudiced. I will do my best to be a good patient. I certainly have to be patient, but I know I will get there, slowly…
