[The First Aria]

Well, since my heart of 25, as diagnosed just 5 months before my major heart attack occurred   I have been taking what most doctor's say with a grain of salt.  But, since this doctor was on the committee for Transgender Medical Guidelines....  I have been very lucky to find such a jewel in the land of corn and pigs right in my back yard.

I told him that I understood, due to my medical history, the need to go slow and feel things out.  But, by the same token, I did NOT want to be stuck where I am at 10 yrs from now.  He suggested that since the herbal route worked so well for me that he didn't think I would be "standing still" for long.  So, he thinks I will not only gain back what I may of lost in the last 4 months, but probably shoot ahead.  And he would revisit my dose rate every 2 months for the first yr.  To monitor for safety and progress.

So, I am really happy and think I can trust him at his word.

I am not really sure if I had a pure man card....  I think I have been a member of the 3rd sex all of my life.  I have come to realize that, now the task is how to live it without loosing anyone near and dear to me and most importantly....  myself.
