My wife's recovery from her November, 2012 pelvic and left hip reconstruction surgery is progressing well, but slowly, and not without some at-times formidable difficulties. For the past couple months, I have been dealing with sometime severe stress and have been working at relaxation response ...

Why did that post twice?

Then there are those events that are not expected.

My wife and I moved into our little country home in 2001, when it was about 15 years old.

The house is a modular house (made in sections in a factory) set on a concrete and stick-built foundation and basement.

I happen to be certified by the ...

So now we have enflamed posts regarding the Archive!!!! That was not the purpose of this thread, but rather it was a question as to why those who were born unique or became so early in life seem not to participate here.

Without question the best site on the internet for the person with an ...

As I remember, I recognized that my life did not fit into any purely binary gender scheme before I learned to talk.

I have never found myself to quite be a boy/man nor to quite be a girl/woman in any traditional sense. Rather, I am as though an assortment of some aspects of male, some of female ...

I believe I have properly made room reservations for this year's MoM.

I plan to get to an Interstate rest area Friday night, one close enough to the new MoM location that it will be easy to wake up and drive from the rest area to the MoM well before the start of breakfast on Saturday morning.

I ...

After many decades of studying the relationship of autism with human society, I have gradually been carried to an understanding that, if there is a mental disorder or disease associated with "the autism spectrum," the main disease is associated with being "neurotypical."

Since the DSM-5(tm) came ...

In the realm of quantum mechanical physics is something named, "The Pauli Exclusion Principle." It may be stated, with at least ample oversimplification, to be as a plausible fact, that no two of anything can have exactly the same quantum state (please note that my grasp of "quantum state" includes ...

I did not bother with a hormone therapy (testosterone suppression) "pre-trial" as I had become profoundly concerned about my risk of dying soon from cancer, in the summer of 1986, from a probable genetic condition. At the time of my orchiectomy, my brother had already developed terminal cancer from ...

The historical medical evidence of cardiovascular risk at supposedly normal testosterone levels was well established, if one knew where in the medical literature to look, by the 1950s.

It looks as if the jig could be up for some Johnnies-come-lately.



I doubt that urologists knowing about injections will significantly reduce the probability of a urologist not removing injection-damaged testicles; indeed, greater awareness of a person's sense of need can only, over the long ...

My reading on the topic of "male" orgasm is that the mechanism of orgasm is a spinal reflex, therefore, it can be activated in some men who have a high spinal injury which effectively disconnects the brain from the orgasm spinal reflex region of the spinal cord.

While stimulation of the external ...

1. Simple bilateral orchiectomy.



2. No phantom sensations or pain.

3. Estrogen and progesterone on a monthly cycle until I arrived at a proper age typical for "menopause"

(4. Unlike my dad and brother, who,more than 74 years after they were born, most likely felt no physiological pain--for ...

I suppose it is time to mention the use of estrogen and progesterone to reduce the risks associated with testosterone reduction post-orchiectomy. Somewhat after my orchiectomy, I did, which fact I have mentioned previously in Archive posts, seek out an endocrinologist who prescribed those for me. My ...

From time to time, my life gets busy, sometimes to and beyond overload. My wife and I live out in the country, about ten miles from the nearest city. That was never my intended plan; an automobile disaster (a Mercury Sable that exploded, in part, as I observed, as an engineer, as a result of many ...

It has come to my attention that at least a few law firms are advertising on TV for clients who took testosterone as a drug and who developed problems attributable to testosterone thereafter.

For myself, I chose to avoid testosterone as soon as avoiding it became practical, when I was 47. My ...

I neither regret waiting for my orchiectomy and colectomy as long as I did, nor do I regret getting them.

I am the first person in my close family who has the heredity cancer gene (the condition is now labeled attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis, a condition not recognized as being ...

"Medical Professional" is a remarkably non-specific descriptive term. Is a dentist a medical professional? Is a medical laboratory assistant a medical professional? Is an X-ray technician a medical professional?

When I set out, starting in 1984, to locate a doctor who was properly trained and ...

Sometimes life is sometimey.

For some time, I have been going about making the proper effort to arrive at the MoM region tomorrow.

Some time earlier today, I put some time into determining for the final time before leaving tomorrow for the MoM that my wife has recovered sufficiently from her hip ...

Will you be bringing your lovely wife?



River

Alas, no. She came with me in 2011; last year, she was having far too much difficulty walking; this year she is still in the recovery phase following her left hip prosthesis reconstruction last November, and is not yet in shape for the trip to the ...

There will not only be the menu for the body, as last year and before, there will also be the impromptu menu for the mind, like last year and the year before, so I do hope and trust.

The past two years, the menu for the mind was at least as nutritious and delicious as the menu for the body.

I am ...

As surgical procedures are aspects of human nature, what is the difference between an artificial hemorphadite (someone who surgically morphed in to the appearance of being physiologically multi-gendered) and a natural hermaphrodite who got that way through natural surgical procedures?

Is ...

Perhaps I am seriously mistaken, yet I cannot so far find any reason why you are not qualified for housing assistance, as, for example, with Section 8 housing.

I hope that your birthday has gone well so far, and that it will continue to do so for the rest of the day.

Addendum:

I have, on two occasions, experienced hydraulic brake failure while driving. On both occasions, having diligently maintained my vehicles' parking/emergency brake, I was able to complete the trip and get the hydraulic brake system properly repaired by using the parking/emergency brake ...
