Well what can i say about tuesday other than it was a success from start to finish & i've never felt as good in a long time. I left home on the 06:40 train from lowestoft & arrived into London Liverpool streetaround 09:25. I grabbed the nearest taxi to get me across london to the clinic & it cost a bl**dy fortune but i got there in time for my 10:30 appt with Dr Lenihan. Every thnig i'd been told about her was true as she was really nice & put me right at ease. She even had another psych person sitting in with us & it didn't bother me in the slightest. Dr Lenihan went through all kinds of things with me...explaining certain procedures. The Upshot of things is that she's going to write a letter of endorsement which means i'll have no probs getting HRT & speech therapy on the NHS which is good. I must say that throughout my time there, i was treated with respect & dignity....made me feel good too. The Receptionist called for a cab to get me back to liverpool street in time to catch my train home. Goin Back,we passed a few of the major sights....london eye,chelsea flower show, Big Ben & Houses of parliament....good or what? Eventually got back to station around 12.15, which gave me time to get something to eat & drink. I sat in "The Wren"& had a drink or two cos i deserved it.....a rather cute barman served me too.
I got the 13:38 train back home & everything was going well until we hit Ipswich when the damned train broke down & we were sat ages waitn for them to repair it which they did & was soon on our way again, eventually getting back into Lowestoft around 4.40 pm & only a few mins late too.
I must say i felt knackered after the trip, but also elated too with knowin that very soon i'll get to start my treatments. The 4am start did'nt help....but c'est la vie. I called the most important girl in my life ( CHARLLET) and filled her in on how things went cos she'd been thinking about me all day. When i eventually DO start them, i been told it'll be either estradiol or the other one finasteride but i'm not 100% on that last one.
Going down,i wasn't sure how things would pan out & i was a wee bit nervous but coming back i was a totally different girl in so much that i was just SO happy & for obvious reasons too . Things are now progressing in a way i never thought possible & that makes me one VERY happy girl indeed
