Just got back from my 3rd appointment at the Charing Cross gender clinic.

The appointment was originally for 3:30pm but got re-scheduled for 9:15am two weeks ago.

I duly got up at 5:45am and made myself ready to go out, arriving at the clinic 9:05am, I hate being late

Usual booking in process, address, current contact number etc. then I sat down to wait for the doctor.

9:30 - nothing

9:40 - still nothing - checked with the receptionist, Oh he must be running late, we haven't heard from him.

9:55 - ah!!! he's arrived! - apparently he had forgotten that he had re-scheduled me

Anyway, he apologised lots and we started discussing my status, hormone effects, moods, relation status and everything.

The appointment was for 45 minutes but we got through it all in about 25 minutes and he then said something along these lines.

"Ok, I shall see you again in July and assuming there's no issues I will recommend you for surgery"

FLIPPING YAY!!!!!!!!

Of course the place is so busy the actual appointment is August 15th but I don't care as I'm on cloud 9.

All I have to do now is sort out my divorce, the ONLY thing that can delay the surgery.

Reasonably I'm looking at around November/December for the op - what a fab Christmas present

Happy hugs
