I went...........I saw.............I wasn't refused! :)
I really dont know what all the worry was over. We are already talking hormones and should get them next time! We are also discussing chest surgery next time I see Dr Lorrimer aswel already. This is because of the probs I have had with them, and also he said I only need to wait a year anyway for chest surgery and as he is going from when I changed my name, by the time go see them again in maybe May time, I will have done over a year of RLT anyway he says Cool eh?
My weight is not such an issue with hormones and also he said maybe do some voluntary work or go to college as I am not working and all will be well. The only thing he said would be good was if I could build up some chest muscle, which will help with the breast removal, and most of all the reconstruction of the male chest.
So that was it really, I was sent for blood tests already too, so hopefully they will come back ok! He just has to check with my GP about my dodgy heart readings on the ECG that they are normal for me. Also he said that I am quite normal and ok considering some of the abuse I went through as a kid etc, and that I am pretty sane and he says he wouldn't like to promise the hormones just yet as I have to see Dr Barrat I think he said, but he said that Barrat should be in agreement with him.
Went for food and drinks afterwards with Marylin C and a f2m guy I recently made friends with which was nice. Had a quick mooch around, saw 'Buck-house' and had a quick stop in Hyde Park. But was so tired after getting up at 4 am to be there. Want my bed now.
Ohhh yes, my Mam said that when I came out I was grinning like a cat, she said she hadn't seen me smile like that since I was about ten years old. So thats it, I'm in, I know whats gonna happen next time, and what I need to do. I dont think any of the things they ask were uncomfortable to talk about, and their requests not at all obsurd or ridiculous.
