The New Doctor

So, I had my first appointment with the doctor that will be taking me on the journey through this whole transition. He is REALLY FRICKING AWESOME!!!!!! We talked for about twenty minutes (about everything, including other non-transition related health stuff) and I found out that I am not his first transitioning patient, by a long shot. I knew I wouldn't be the first because another t-girl is the one that told me about him in the first place. I figured I'd be the second t-patient. Boy was I wrong. It was really nice because we actually talked and I really REALLY got the feeling that he really does care about his patients. He warned me too, that it would be a long fight and that it wouldn't be easy. But I have yet to do stuff the easy way. It was good too because he told me the stuff that I need to start looking into right away and such. So the next step is talking to an endocrinologist (aka the only endo in the area for this stuff), as well as getting rid of the facial hair.
It was nice because after the doctor, I went with one of my derby friends and did some shopping for stuff and we talked. She's a big gigantic sweetheart. She's been really supportive and it is greatly appreciated. It was really nice to talk to someone that's supportive and not be at home or work when doing it. My work friends and my roommates are GREAT!! I appreciate all that they have done for me. It's just really nice getting support from other people that I know in other communities.
