Our life force is a circle, we grow within until it’s complete, and then we spread out in waves like ripples on a pond from the drop of a pebble. It’s now my time to complete the circle, it’s now my time to grow.
After a lifetime of dreams and discovery, and with the love and support of my wonderful Kat, I have made the decision to have SRS. As hard a decision I’ve always thought it to be, it really was an easy one to make, and it’s one I’m 100% sure and comfortable about…it’s just my time.
I am hoping to do this next Fall, the following Spring at the latest. I have a lot to do till then, I’ve just started getting my ducks in a row. I will be seeing an endocronologist next soon so I can start hormones, and I have started exchanging e-mails with my surgeon. I will be going to Thailand for Dr. Chettawut, he’s considered to be one of the best in the world, plus the cost will be a lot less than if I had it done here. I will have to stay there for 3 weeks, and I will miss my home, but to me it’s all a price worth paying.
Both Kat and I know there will be problems to overcome, but we will face them together as one, and we’re a team that’s invincible, she’s got my back and I‘ve got hers. I plan on keeping a running account of our journey here in the TS Forum, so that maybe I can help anyone else who is considering the same thing for themselves. We have many wonderful friends who will be there for us, and we hope all of you will keep us in your thoughts and wishes.
