Getting down to the wire


The following has no real train of thought (dang female hormones :D ) but this is what's up

Just received my packet from Doctor Bower, have started filling in forms and making appointments for EKG and HIV testing. Three weeks to go to formalization on name change. Going through the list of items I need to take with me to California and see that I need a ample supply of KY jelly. I decided to do NetFlix subscription, as being there for two weeks will need something to do when unable to get around. I know it’s getting real when just about every night I imagine myself being rolled into the room for surgery. Booked room for stay, normally $200 per night (yikes), discount rate is $155 which is $2000 total and I am use to places that charge (in my area) half that price, sure wish I had people in the area.

Photos for the hotel.

On the home front, I am picking up my final letter for surgery and document for name change/gender approval next Friday. Tomorrow I meet with my legal friend to get back money and Sunday off to purchase luggage as my current luggage is old and beatup or use UPS Luggage Shipping where they supply you with a cardboard suitcase then again I may not, will have to see.

Just returned from the post office and made my payments of $28,000 for surgery. The cashier at the bank said, can I help you mam? Gave her my driver licence which is still my male one and afterwards stayed with mam.

Hi Karen,

Every day another step closer! Yes, hotels are expensive around here and even $155 is a bargain. I assume your hotel doesn't have room service so I hope you're also planning on how you will get what you need to eat.

Your posts are so helpful to every transman and transwoman who will follow in your footsteps. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and I encourage you to continue.

The room has grocery shopping service, full kitchen and tons of other stuff like coffee maker, full refrigerator (not the normal small ones), stove, toaster etc.

Yes I hope my information helps others :-)
