Yeah, so anyway....
I just got my latest blood test results back from the endocrinologist, and she's happy with my levels. I a happy with my levels.
The interesting thing for me is looking back at my thoughts on HRT and transition in general. I remember hoping that HRT would provide "relief" of my GD enough for me to scrape through another year onboard my boat; I was dreading physical changes and hoping for some kind of "low dose" and slow changes.
Now I can see that none of my desires or thoughts or bargaining made a damn bit of sense - most of it was just the dying layers or fear I was still holding onto... Today I embrace the changes HRT brings, and despite the turmoil and uncertainty, I realize that transition is like a glacier that moves across the landscape of your life - you don't steer, you don't dodge, you just watch as it does it's thing.
And just for kicks, here's the changes to my face after 5 months:
