I got a call on the 2`nd Nov at 3:15 am telling me they were going to to have to do emergency surgery to save her life, next day I found out that she had to have 4 foot of intestine removed because a blood clot in a vein had killed it and it had necrotized.
yesterday she went into surgery again to have it re-connected and other areas dealt with too, she`s now out though and in the critical care unit again, but is stable.
needless to say I`v been jugling my time between my kids and having to go up to the hospital and making arrangements for that (I don`t drive), school runs etc... and so have`nt had any time to be here, sorry about that.

I did however get to my appointment and do the deed!
I have no idea what I was so freightened of, she was a lovely lady, full of smiles and a sort of "anything you say is fine" kind of vibe about her.
me... I just walked in there, and said "I don`t quite know how I`m going to put this, so I`m just going to come out and say it... I`1m transgendered and I`v been on female hormones since December last year."
the rest was me just answering questions (very shyly, but Honestly).
I have to go for  blood tests, and then a few weeks after book another appt with her to get the forms filled in for a GIC referal.
I guess the rest is just a case of me doing as I`m told and it should be easy (unless they tell me stop the HRT of course!).

So yes, I`m out and `in the system` so to speak.
