I just scheduled a mid-January surgery for an ear problem that needs to be addressed before the complications get too serious. Since my wife passed away last spring there's no one in the family who knows about my crossdressing. I don't know how long the recovery will be (always 4-6 weeks, right?), but it's likely I'll have balance issues, headaches and maybe some temporary facial paralysis. This means when I get home from the hospital I'll probably be getting help that may even include getting things for me to wear out of the closet. That walk-in closet has slowly been turning into 75% Sarah and 25% the guy. I've been packing up the things that don't fit or I know I'm not going to be wearing and donating them, but there is still a lot I want to hang on to.
So now I have just about 2 months to sort, pack and store all my pretty stuff, makeup, jewelry, wigs, shoes etc. so when the family comes to help I don't get outted. I'm not sure how long it will be before I'll be both ready and able to dress again, so the storage may be for a couple of weeks or maybe even months. Any recommendations for me as I start in on this project? Suggestions on any part of the process are welcome.
