Worth Posting About....
Jun. 30th, 2013 02:19 pmSo I don't really have much time to blog these days. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it, but uni + placements + getting enough sleep = no time for much more than quick facebook updates, which sucks. -__- ; I hope you guys are all OK, anyway.
But, this is worth updating about.
Tomorrow, I am having my chest surgery.
Well- barring last moment changes of plan/emergencies, of course, and I don't think I will really believe that it's happening until I am on the table and being put under, which is one of the reasons why I haven't mentioned it on here. I had a real up-hill struggle getting a date once the surgeon had said I was on the waiting list, and there was a HUGE amount of worry, as there was a good chance that if they delayed too long I would miss the last placement of the year, and hence, have to defer a year. >_>; Tomorrow is basically the latest they could do it to avoid this, so gods be praised, but it looks like it will all work out.
But, tomorrow is the day. I have my overnight bag packed, all my uni work handed in, and the plan is that when I am discharged from hospital Dad will pick me up and take me home to his to recover. I'm not sure how long my stay in hospital will be, but I have my Kindle fully charged and my MP3 player full of good stuff, so I can just snooze and read, or listen to audio books. It's going to be really weird not being able to use my arms for a while, but I suppose I will just have to behave. XD I'm ranging between being insanely excited and absolutely terrified (yay- needle phobia!), but ultimately, I'm just pleased that it's all nearly over. This is basically the end of my transition- I'm not planning lower surgery, and after this I will be applying for my Gender Recognition Certificate and closing this chapter of my life. That's not to say it will stop being a part of me, of course, but it will the last stop on this particular journey.
Oh, and I will never have to wear a bloody compression vest ever again!! ^___________^
I will be posting to Facebook to keep people updated, so if you want me to add you drop me a note. ^__^;
