On a winter day

I am in Newark New Jersey USA, it?s a cold wintery day. The snow is falling, its very pretty outside all white.
There is something about this time of year. Could be I was born in January an often a snowstorm follows me
when there are important things going on in my life.

I am not from the area, I am here because on Monday January 31, 2022, I am having Gender Reassignment Surgery
at MT Sinai Hospital Jess Ting is my Doctor. I am excited and nervous at the same time. For me I waited a long time
to be the person I feel I am.

I had thought for most of my life I could be a crossdresser and be happy, but I find the transition to a woman
completes me. I know its not for everyone it?s my journey and I am blessed my family and friends are there to support me.

Its important for me to say this site has help me understand myself better and the ones who share their life here has
touch my soul. Wherever you are in your own journey we should be able to live our life the way we want.

I will add more in the coming month to share with you all.

Please keep me in your prayers.

Congrats and good luck. I hope tou have a wonderful life as a female.

Leasa,

Good luck with your surgery. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that all goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

Leasa, you look terrific, all things considered. You photo shows a smile — in it I see a quiet satisfaction showing through the pain drugs. A heartfelt congratulations to you as you’ve achieved a new milestone on your journey. Everyone here is pulling for you and sending good thoughts and prayers your way.

Best regards.

Post-op appointment went well. It was nice getting all the tubes out.
Rehab in NJ for the next couple of weeks an hopefully go home at the end of the month.

Thank you for your prayers

Hi Leasa. Just thought I would check in again and see how you are doing. Hope all is well with you. Sounds like your on the road to recovery. Must have felt great getting all the tubes out. I feel you are so brave to follow your feelings and path you chose. Blossom now like a beautiful flower and keep moving forward. After surgery you?ll may have some ups and some downs. Hang in there. You will get through it. Don?t forget, if you need someone to talk to, we are always here. Wishing you the best, Leasa. Keep us updated.

Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery! Gentle Hugs Lana Mae

Hi everyone

I had my second post op appointment today. I am very excited to say it went well. I am cleared to finish my rehab at home. It will be several more months to fully heal an I was told to take it very easy.

Yay ! Good News Leasa! I hope your recovery will remain on positive trajectory
