Looking back over the past 12 months I realize I've come a long way and accomplished a great deal. This morning was the first meeting with my Dr in a number of months to review latest bloodwork.

All parameters bang on. The visit was precipitated on my E being potentially high. Turned out it was not in the grand scheme of things depending on if I'm considered a post menopausal woman or not.

Levels aside my agenda for the meeting was beyond checkup it was to table the big question... SRS.

So this morning my application through the provincial government program has been tabled.

In parallel my application as a private referral to Brasard in Montreal is also in progress.

So today I guess I've officially crossed to the next big stage on the transition journey.

My DR asked how I feel. Easy question FANTASTIC. She was very happy I raised the SRS discussion. On that she asked how I felt. My answer was SCARED S€^#LESS. And with a smile she responded with a reassuring smile and acknowledged how happy I've become and how good I've done over the past year.

Who knows what the timeline schedule has in store but I've definitely made another big leap ahead.

I'm shaking a bit thinking about it.

Onward and upward... Jennifer

Jennifer, if you don't have some level of being scared, you aren't thinking it through. This is no small thing to do, although the decision is often a no brainer. Some of us need this and some don't. I happy for you that you have the access. :hugs:
