So I had my GRS revision yesterday with Dr Rachel Bluebond Langner at NYU Langone. It seemed to go well. I’m still in a fair amount of pain but I feel good compared to last time.

My room is beautiful though. I have a view of the Empire State Building out of my window and the selfie lighting is incredible.

Questions are welcome :)

The Big Day

So on January 10. I had “The” surgery. Yes my day had finally arrived. But it wasn’t how I wanted it or expected it. I had dreamed and wanted this for so long. That the day was finally here. I was very nervous and having some doubt. It started off the day before with some nasty bowel prep and nasty restroom trips. My aunt who is like my mom since my mom passed a way 13 years ago. Was with me for…

Well it’s finally done. I made thru gender confirmation surgery. I am in San Francisco with Dr Wittenberg. It has been painful but I got thru it. I even Got up and walked yesterday. I have never had pain like these but it has been completely worth it. Everything is going good and healing as expected. Thanks everyone Ashley

Update.

Oct 24 2016 will always be a special day for me. It is the day my child is born. For me it is still unbelievable that I have a child. It was differently hard the first month. Non stop. But it has got better. We actually get some sleep at night now. I am just basically just living life work and raising a baby. Most people in my family and work. Were starting to ask a lot of question about my looks, hair. Everyone kept telling me I looked different. So I decided it was time. Day after thanks giving I sent a letter to people in my family explaining everything( coming out). Everyone in my family has been great. They are a little nervous and confused but are ok with it. So at the end of that day. I sent it to a bunch of people I work. I also posted on face book. It went great. All my friends and extended family( I have a Big family) Everyone has been so understanding and accepting. It is such a relief not to have to hide it. In the middle of October I got ride of most if not all my guy clothes. I am mainly a jeans and t shirt. Work staff was completely shocked but are great and accepted it. I also got my ears pierced. It is just one big relief. I finally just being me every day. Thanks for reading. There is hope out there don't give up. Ashley.

Update

Been awhile since I have posted anything. So here it goes. Trained most of the summer for 70.3 Arizona. I finished in 5:52. Not the best time. But it was very hot. I haven't seen to much information on effects of HRT with body in regards to(speed, endurance). But I believe it does change something. For me it differently made me slower. It took longer for me to recover. Also don't know how it works but it is harder to cut weight and I have to watch what I eat more. I will post more very soon.
