A quick medical update:

- PE presents no risk to surgery and requires no further treatment (just some healing naturally).
-I'm starting Minoxidil for my hair loss - hopefully this will do the trick.

-My meds are getting changed (again). The new drug Bicalutimide, with a *very* rare side effect of sudden liver failure. It doesn't suppress testosterone, but prevents the body from using it in any cell.
-I am now going to start to inject Estrogen, as the Estrogel I've been using since April isn't effective.
-I'm now trying to get on the GRS surgery list at Montreal. They don't answer calls or read emails, apparently(!!)

So my life is very full at the moment. A thousand changes to accomplish. Today I'm getting a manicure in Pride colours for Sunday's Pride Parade. No time or energy for machining or just about anything on my todo list. The time flies when you're having fun!
 
It's been a year -- the best year of my 70 years!

I'm grateful for all the support that everyone has given me! Sure some bumps, but that's real life, right?

This year has been the most exhilarating, challenging, joyful, mind blowing time I've ever had. Every day is a new joy. Every new friend is the water under my boat. I anticipated that I would run out of steam, and settle down to a similar life as before, but in a new guise. I was so very wrong. Every day just keeps getting better!

I held off making the change out of fear, but you guys have proved the fear was groundless. In fact with the exception of only one or 2 the support has been universal, and I am very grateful for every one.

Shania Twain was on the radio earlier, "man, I feel like a woman".... I thought of dabbler and maybe I'm short on sleep but I thought it was funny 😀

Go listen to the lyrics and tell me I'm wrong 🙄
