Thread: It's time to complete the circle

    It's time to complete the circle

    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.

    Karen

    Karen,

    I also feel that I'm finally completing a circle. I knew I was a boy when I was very little, but felt I had no choice and had to spend my lifetime as a girl before that little boy came back to find me.

    I'm very happy for you. You're going to have a great year, I'm sure. A new place and a new you! You know I'll be following your progress with great interest.

    Wishing you and Kat all the best!

    Karen, my life partner, I'm so awed by your courage!!

    Thank you for sharing your life with me!!

    Being quite androgynous myself, I consider this cosmetic surgery, however, I know it goes much deeper for you, and I respect your feelings!!

    Now, c'mon, Woman, lets get'er done!!

    Karen I am very happy for you and your decision. Mostly the whole 100% thing. I wish the best for you.

    Secondly, one more time, the love story that you and Kat live is very inspiring. It inspire hope that someday we can all find that kind of love and understanding, beautiful.

    So I wish the two of you the best in the future. Good luck! God speed.

    Karen, I wish both you and KrazyKat well on your journey. I am very familiar with Dr. C.s work over there in Thailand. I close friend of mine choose him to have her surgery, but the lastest thing is she has decided not to have SRS at all and just remain as an non-op TS. As for myself, when my time comes for SRS I will most liking be choosing him as well. His work shown on his website is fantastic especially compared to the butchers poising as surgeons here in the U.S. . I know that you are going to be very pleased with the results by Dr. Chittawa.
