Top Surgery

I haven't been keeping up with this blog lately, but luckily life has been keeping me busy with labors of love. However, it seems like now is a time to come back to the original purpose of this blog: A place to talk about the details of my transition for those who are wondering, for those who are contemplating, for myself to look back on sometime in the future.

Thursday, January 3rd, I will be having surgery. It's called a double-incision bilateral mastectomy. I will stay overnight in Timonium, MD, on Wednesday night and check in to a hotel, report to the clinic early in the morning on Thursday, recover overnight at the hotel, get checked over the following morning at the clinic again, then head home. The surgery is supposed to take 3-4 hours, I believe.

I'm nervous, of course, but not about the decision, just about the surgery itself.

Okay, that's all for now. I don't know when I'll be up for writing again, but I will when I am somewhat recovered. Thanks, everyone, for the well wishes I have received.
