hey, you know you're rational. And now, you're adding courage to go with it to live a happy life like you see it. Any form of changes usually lead to leaving something behind that is out of our control. In your words "there is this other side as well" which would be what if you decide not to follow your current path? Would you be happier? Isn't all this about being happy? *grin* Be happy. I know, it's easy to say it...it's also easy to become. ((SMILE & HUGS))
hey, your reply is most interesting. *Smile* Thanks for sharing these details. You sound like you're at a totally different level. It seem like you're past the "should I or shouldn't I do this and what happen next" stage. You seem at peace with your decisions and living the next stage of your life already without looking backward. It's interesting you used music to put yourself at ease before your surgery. I guess music doesn't just soothe the savage beast but also soothe the nerves. I didn't know there is such a thing as feminizing a skull, why is that needed? Wouldn't a wig and cosmetics take care of the head? Feminizing a skull sound like chipping down the bones to look smaller and that sound painful! The path Dr Ousterhout took to this field sound like a normal path. He was doing what he was trained to do and this time instead of treating victims of accidents & abuse, his clients voluntary sought him out. Now, that's having a career for life.
"It seem like you're past the "should I or shouldn't I do this and what happen next" stage."
That's where I think and hope I'm at. A month after I got back from Bangkok my partner and I were sitting at a women's bar in Ptown listening to Melissa Ferrick and I just thought "holy ****, I have a normal life."
"It's interesting you used music to put yourself at ease before your surgery."
Well, Changer is a particularly spiritual album about coming to grips with oneself and opening yourself to new possibilities. It was a good choice. It's really an incredible album if people haven't heard it.
"I didn't know there is such a thing as feminizing a skull, why is that needed?"
Well there wasn't such a thing until he invented it. Testosterone makes permanent changes to bone that can't be undone by just switching one set of hormones for the other. The basics are that the jaw gets squared, the chin longer, and the forehead tends to be more sloped in men and juts out. In particular, he's one of two surgeons who'll do the forehead. He takes the bone off in front of the sinus cavity and rebuilds it. In my case, my forehead is moved back almost 1cm from where it started. It's painful I guess. It's certainly long, my surgery was eleven and a half hours. Peace of mind is worth a great deal though.
Yup... you reach a certain critical mass where everyone dear to you still is not enough to keep you from having to move toward the light at the end of your personal tunnel... the very thought of not having moved forward makes me cringe. Yes I am happier in a whole
