It’s almost two weeks since surgery. I am doing great with that part of my body. I got back the pathology report. The doctor was like yep that thing needed to come out. I had endometriosis and adenomyosis. So that puppy needed to come out and man it explains the pain I was having. I still feel a little sore from time to time but nothing crazy. I’m feeling really good.
Well except for my back. My sciatica is acting up. My left hip hurts and the pain runs down my left leg and foot. The lateral side of my leg feels like it’s asleep. I went to the doctor and they want to do an MRI Friday. I will see if I can afford it. Money is tight and it’s an expensive scan for them to tell me I might need back surgery (I won’t have it ever, unless it’s life or death). So it’s holding me up from completely healing well.
Friday marks one year on T! Yes I’m excited as hell. Thinking about throwing a mini party for the occasion. I am actually working on my video currently. It’s crazy to see the changes in a seven minute video. I’m going through my house to find my baby pictures to put in there. I’m having fun doing.
My personal life has jumped up. I’m really happy with the situation. I may share later what this means and not be so cryptic.
I may do a blog later about this. I recently watched a video and talked to a guy on youtube about sexuality and transitioning. My sexuality has been called into question as I have mentioned before. But I have found someone with a similar story. I have watched many videos and read many blogs only to see that though many of my brothers of transition are very different than me. We all feel very different about our transition and there are infinite ways to transition. I found it awesome to connect to another brother about this topic. I know there are more, but they are hard to find.
Last thing: Chaz Bono on “Dancing with the Stars”! Hellz yes. Thomas Beauty recently complained because he was also in the running for this spot. I personally think Chaz is a better fit since he is a child star with star parents. His PR is a little better. His interviews about this slanderous crap on the internet have been amazing. He shows his beliefs in himself and his lifestyle without getting excited and making it worse. I am very proud that he is out that showing a very positive face for my community. I will be voting for Chaz on Dancing with the Stars. I think I might go as him for halloween!
Congrats on the positive surgery results and 1 year on T–super exciting. Interesting how you mention your sexuality since transitioning. I don’t know exactly how it’s been called into question for you, but I feel the same way about mine. Before I mentally began transitioning, I thought I was just a lesbian…but once I made the decision to transition (as did my partner), I realized that my sexuality was evolving, just like my gender identity…it was pretty confusing at first, for sure.
And if you’re Chaz for halloween, please post a pic, that’d be awesome!
