Woe & Injection

That last post was dramatic. I even went to the extent of pointing out that I was on a faint, nearby wireless connection and that there was a snow storm outside. On the less embarrassing plus side, it wasn't as dramatic as it could've been. I mean, I very well could have written a dreary gothic poem from the depths of my sorrow-filled soul.

if pain was gold
in wealth i'd lie
my heart's so cold
"it aches" i cry
if life was air
in you i'd breathe
if life was fair
you'd never leave
down sorrow's path
my soul has crept
a lonely half
in rains i've wept

Yep. Could've been worse.

Not to slam on gothic. I <3 are="" br="" darkness="" gothic.="" gothic="" just="" know="" more="" of="" others.="" outer="" palatable="" shades="" some="" than="" you="">
This, for example, is VERY palatable:


Swoon. Ahem, moving on.

I feel MUCH better today. Giddy. Bubbleheaded. Whimsical, even. Since my injections are 14 days apart, apparently posts of sorrow and gloom should be expected on days 13 and 14.

It's like this emotional roller coaster suddenly hits, where I go from feeling like I'm at the bottom of a well whimpering about every little everything I can possibly muster up to whimper about, then sky rocket up to a joyous world of cotler pants and pumps.

I did get a refill, fortunately. Turns out that my insurance actually never covered it. It was expensive before and the exact same amount now ($67/month). What a deal! Frickin' insurance. I'm starting to understand why my usual doctor is so broken and negative about working with non-trans-lovin' insurance companies.

  2. You and you're jonesing for T on day 13-14 reminds me of the episode of Venture Bros where the pirate kept getting high off of tranq darts. I don't know why, but I hear you talking with a pirate voice, yelling about it.

    Apparently Mel, when I think of you, I turn you into a dress-up paper-doll that I mold to match whatever my mind is going off about at the time.

    Sorry.

  4. I love it when you turn mopey. On those days, it is easy to lure you into my lifestyle of bookstores, television, and laying around in pajamas. I am calling dibs on the Wednesday after next!

PART 1: Double Incision Mastectomy with Nipple Grafts by Dr. Cori Agarwal Surgery Photos (EXTREMELY GRAPHIC)

Earlier today I learned that Dr. Cori Agarwal’s medical secretary would come in to take photographs during my 3 hour surgery on August 11, 2011. As a warning, these photos are extremely graphic , but also incredibly informative and educational. This is why I’m displaying them after the “read more” button below instead of as a photo gallery.

Exciting News from Utah!

Exciting things are happening in Salt Lake City, Utah! Last night there was a panel specifically about employment discrimination based on gender identity and a proposed diversity bill. It received a fair amount of media coverage, like this article in the Salt Lake Tribune: After losing her job, transgender Utahn fights workplace discrimination Salt Lake City resident Candice Metzler wanted to let her work colleagues see the transition she already had begun in her personal life. Known to them as a man, Metzler wore mascara, eyeliner and white-tipped acrylic nails to a company barbecue.

The above coverage even ended with: "if you're an employer open to hiring transgender individuals" there's a link on their site to DiversityJobs.com ! Just 6 months ago the bills und

Viddy Documentation: 39 Days

If blogging is out of my element, photo documentation is even further out in the element ball park. What's on an another planet altogether is video documentation. Still, here's the thang. My voice just started cracking a couple of weeks ago and I want to catch it while it's high pitch central and to be able to look back on that change later down the road. Since the thickening of my vocal chords will be very gradual, I'm going to record my voice every so often to document that change. Here goes!
