I realized today that my patience is wearing thin. I want to have chest surgery so bad right now that I’m not seeing what is in front of me. I have great friends and family. But it all seems to be short. Not enough. I know that seems horrible but it’s how I have been feeling as of late. I’m working on being patient.
It’s not going well for me. Having to save money is not something I’m good at or have ever done well at. So saving eight thousand dollars is not something that is going to be easy for me. It irritates me. I want things to change for me. I need a better job and get my name change. Three hundred dollars there. Trying to pay back college loans. Yeah I know it makes it better when you pay for it. This is a motto in my life. I won’t ask for money. Never. But dammit I wish it could come easier.
This is more of a bitch post. I just had to get it off my chest. Ha!
Hey in there, I know what you mean being ready for the chest surgery. I’m so tired of wearing my binder but it will get better. Keep your head up and keep pushing forward.
Thanks Bro, I am trying really hard to keep pushing. Sometimes I just needed to be reminded.
I am experiencing the same frustration. There’s got to be a way that insurance will cover some of the cost. I’m working on finding the answers. Best luck, and keep your head up. Much love.
The best answer I can come up with insurance is if your mom had breast cancer before the age of 45 or 2 other female members had it before 45. That’s all I could find with my insurance. They did cover my hysterectomy. Mine was all effed up so it coming out was inevitable.
Have you thought of hosting a benefit for yourself or asking friends to host one for you to raise the money for top surgery?
I am currently in the workings of putting together a benefit drag show for my other half for his surgery. He has been transitioning for almost six years but has not been able to raise the full amount of money. He hates the binder and can’t wait for the day to burn it.
Hang in there and let me know if you need any help on getting started in fundraising.
I doubt I can raise the money in the town I live currently. I also have a pride problem. I don’t ask for money for anything. I want to pay for it myself. Thank you. I hope your partner gets the money and can burn that binder. I wouldn’t burn it though. Donate it to the Big Brother Used binder program. That’s where mine are going.
The site owner has carried out a superb job of putting it together, the info here is really and helpful when i do research.
