Some of you may recall from about June last year, I was grumbling because the endocrinologist had said, make an appointment after you have been presenting as a woman full time for a year. The disappointment was very real, but forced me to make my decision to come out to family, work and friends and start my Real-Life Experience
6 months down the track of presenting as a woman, when seeing my Doctor a couple of weeks ago, I asked him to please write to the endocrinologist again requesting an appointment. Being 65 this year, and feeling time is passing me by, I am getting impatient. Ok, he said, but nothing may happen.
To my joy, over the past weekend I received a letter from the endocrinologist staff, advising that I was on the waiting list for an appointment, and would be seen in the next 4 months. WOW, I was very very happy when I read that. "The next phase: at last I am getting nearer to starting my hormone journey". I was prescribed Spiro about 6 months ago, disguised by my doctor as one blood pressure medication being superseded by another.
Anyway, I was rang this morning by a endocrinologist staff member who said there was an appointment for tomorrow which had been canceled, and she asked if I would like to take the vacated spot
Yes, yes yes I blurted out.
So, my endocrinologist appointment is tomorrow morning. I know I am extremely happy and not at all nervous to move further along my path, and hope my age and current small medical irritations do not get in the way of at last starting estrogen
I know that some on this forum are looking forward to their own first endocrinologist appointment within a couple of weeks after waiting what seems ages.
I too now know the excitement you must feel and trust that your appointments go well
