Well today was a bit of a milestone... Id been getting nowhere with my psych telling him he needs to start thinking about writing my letter for the surgeon... At my last visit he even went so far as to say "you need to see me for at least one year before I can do that"
That pissed me off and I let him know he was full of shit and nowhere in the standards of care does it mention that... So today after a bit of confrontation that almost had me get up and leave.... I straight up just asked him what he needs me to do to write the letter to Dr Brassard??? He went through his long spiel and in the end agreed he has no reason not to write it
That made my day I will call and get specifics on what Dr Brassard needs in the letter tomorrow... I am more than 1 year "full time" but only 9 1/2 months on HRT but I will meet all the official requirements in 2 1/2 months after 1 year on HRT...
I have to survive this upcoming surgery and recover first anyway...
Im also hoping to start seeing a different psych soon so I can get my 2nd letter... She's a woman and I think Id get more out of seeing a woman anyway Once this dude writes that letter he knows Im done with him so I think that was most of his reasoning for appearing reluctant... Im easy $$$ and likely pretty interesting to him LOL
I found out my copay on "therapy" is only a $25.00 copay with my new insurance It was $35.00 with my old insurance and they mistakenly told me it was $50.00 with the new insurance... They also paid 100% of my recent lab work as well as MUCH better coverage on my HRT, only a $5.00 copay per script... So so far its nice to actually get something for the ridiculous amount I pay them fore private coverage
So I was pretty EMO after I got out of there... I had some shopping to do and I found it really hard to concentrate because it really hit home that Im really close now to getting "That" done Just a couple more little hoops to jump through, of course the $$$ is there
Now of course first I have to survive and recover from full FFS which on its own is a huge deal.... This means that Im might actually get SRS/GCS/ "Sex Change" DONE this year as well though Id prefer a late August/September date if at all possible.... Its still nice in Montreal that time of year and then Id have all fall and winter to recover from that going into spring 2016...
Id like to be DONE with surgery's by this time next year
