Hi

Got home about 7.30ish this morning and thought I'd grab an hour or so before my doc appt, finally got asleep but way to close to the time I had to get up.  The alarm went off but I lay there, just thinking, then looked and it was 9.05, eeeeeeeeeeeeek. Quicky chucked a top and bottom on, shoes, sorted hair then rushed round, fortunately I am sooooo close its less than 30 seconds away from me.

When I was called in it was weird, first time I had seen her since 2003 when I came out to her and it was only upon seeing her that I remembered her, altho she is younger than I thought I remembered.  We talked a bit, she remarked at how much I had changed and that she could easiliy see a woman in the waiting room which was great.  She also asked if I were happier and I said defo and that I am mainly waiting for my hair to be more bountilful and I showed her my recent transplant which illicited a wow remark from her.  She also apologised that the NHS don’t do more for someone like me in that they pay for the final op but none of the inbetween bits which, strangely enough, are far more important. 

She bought up the subject of money and I agreed with the cost, saying that’s its been at least 3k on the op, 3k on the laser, 3-4 on counselling and many thousands more on other things, easiliy hitting a figure of between 9-12k so far.

She mainly wanted me there to sort out my 6 monthly bloods (which I thought premature) which I am excited about as it allows me to see what levels I am pumping out at the mo.  Hoping my Testosterone is low and estrogen is high but if its not then I'll simply request my AA level to be increased, that'll stop me worrying about my recent spate of losing loadsa small hairs.  Incidentally, I checked with a hair site and they think that its normal for the small hairs to shed to make way for the real terminal hairs so I take some faith from that.  I have been trying a 100mg spiro on top of my 50mg androcur and it seems when I do that the hair loss slows, then when I stopped that after several days it seems to have picked up a rate tho so real confused.  Best thing I can do is to stick with only what I have been told to use, get the tests done, then sort an appt for Dr Curtis once armed with these results.  Hmmmm, common sense…hard….

My doc is just so nice, I  feel almost guilty considering how some people have right difficulties with theirs.  Mine asked at the end, almost as a ps do I need any more meds?  I said that I would be needing some more Androcur and she printed one out for me no question which is cool as I had been wondering if, as its on trial for me, how I would get more easiliy.

Electro lady called me this eve just before I went out to ask if I could do the evening, 4pm, as opposed to 9am.  Kinda annoyed as I wanted it done and outta the way but at least I get a lie in and am able to do stuff during the day. Hmmm, I wonder if I can get the bloods done tomorrow now? Supposed to not eat or drink after 8pm but I had some diet coke at my friends just now and just ate a bag of choc peanuts…I wonder if I can go later and get a 12 hour gap.  Going info huntin'
