I’ve been on edge ever since this pandemic started because I have been so worried that my bottom surgery this summer would be postponed. But today I got confirmation that I can re-start laser hair removal to prep the area this weekend. And based on what the surgeon’s office has said, I think I should still be able to get enough of it in by July 29th to head down to San Francisco for my August 3rd gender confirmation surgery.

I’ve changed my plans and instead of staying with a friend-of-a-friend, I will be staying in an Airbnb so that we can maintain social isolation. My spouse and I will also be driving down instead of flying because as asthmatics, airports are a pretty big risk. And I don’t know what the visitors policies will be like at the hospital during my 3 days there after surgery. But damn am I glad that it is still happening.

Lately all the little things have been bothering me because my body just can’t wait to get this finally resolved. I am grumpy about having to use my hands to pee. And I hate everything about my balls. But it is only 68 days away now! I am almost there.
