Dear Erica Ann,

You look gorgeous in your new picture and I can tell the difference after the lip surgery. Better yet, you look truly happy and I am glad for you.

I can totally relate, as you know, to the issues of non-accepting family members. It's too bad for them. They don't realize what they are giving up in not getting to know the real you, a beautiful person inside and out.

I am excited for you as the big surgery date approaches! I will definitely give you a call while you are recovering.

Hugs,

Danya

I think thats really great news. Well what kind of flowers do you like? Or are you a chocoholic like Mrs T???

Good luck for your surgery. I hope it goes really well. I'm looking forward to the time when I have GRS surgery, but that's still a long time away for me.

I'm giving up smoking too - today I saw my doctor and got two weeks worth of nicotine patches, as well as some gum. I hope it works.

Yes, time does fly by when you're having fun and thanks for the wonderful compliment. I do so appreciate it!

In response to your inquiry, I will be admitted to Mount San Rafael Hospital on Friday morning, September 19th, surgery day and if everything goes according to plan, I will be discharged on Thursday, September 25th.

The hospital is located at 410 Benedicta Ave., Trinidad, CO 81082. Phone number is (719) 846-9213.

I hope to hear from you and all of my friends during this period of time as all I will be doing is laying around.

You have to be very happy and excited about that. Best wishes to you in finally becomming the woman of your desires. I envy girls like you.

Hi Everyone,

I had the best time of my life this past Sunday. I was invited and rode the Chicago Gender Society float in the Gay Pride Parade. To put it mildly, OMG it was more fun than anyone is entitled to have in a whole year let alone one afternoon.

There were 400,000 people in attendance along the 4 1/2 mile parade route and I think at least 300,000 of them were intoxicated beyond belief.

What a reception our float got. It was unbelievable. Several friends of mine were in the crowd along the way and they could tell we were coming a half a block away. There was an electrifying wave that went through the crowd as our float, which was one of 250 floats made its way along.

It was funny, as people would turn their attention toward us. The first girl they spotted was in the front corner of the float and she didn't get much reaction, as they panned their way down the float the next person was me and people's faces just lite up. I had people, both guys and girls blowing me kisses, guys mouthing, "Oh baby, you're so hot", guys breaking through the barricades to place strings of beads around my neck, guys breaking past the two security people walking between the float and the crowd to give me kisses and hugs. It was unbelievable! One guy kissed and hugged me and said "Sweetie, don't leave me so soon." It was hilarious!

One of the security guys looked at me half way through the parade and said "Erica, if we had known you were going to get that kind of reception, we would have posted two more guys on your side of the float."

My BFF Stephanie and I had to walk down the middle of Broadway Ave. to get to the float, which by the way had already been barricaded in preparation of the parade. We had guys whistling at us, call out to us "Honey, you're looking good today", or "God, are you hot" , waving at us, etc. At one point Stephanie looked behind us thinking that the parade had already started and was coming up behind us, but we were the only two on the street. She looked at me and said that we could have probably had our own parade.

What a boost for the ego, that's for sure.

On another happy note, surgery day is now only 10 weeks and 3 days from now. I received a telephone call from Dr. Bower's office yesterday informing me that I will be receiving my information pack from them next week sometime. This is just getting too good.

I also found out today that mine and Stephanie's photo was published in What's Up magazine that came out yesterday. It was in an article about Hot TG/TS girls in the area.

All I can say is WOW! Can it get any better?

Hi Erica Ann,

I can imagine, at least a bit, what an exciting time you had right in the middle of the parade with so many people around you. What a fantastic reception you received. I'm glad for you. You've had quite a journey since your first post on this thread and it keeps getting better just as it should. Your surgery is practically just around the corner, now, and I can imagine your excitement building over that big event, too.

I really enjoyed reading about your experience in the Gay Pride Parade. I know if I had even one guy whistling at me and saying sexing things I would be in heaven. What an affirmation to have that repeated many times. Good for you! I wish I had been there to watch.

Hugs,

Danya

Best to you for the big day.

I have wished for that for years but it will never be possible for me. My wife would never agree. I can't even hope to be able to loose my cock and balls unless it becomes medically necessary. Doesn't make sense that she would care whether I have a cock or not since she rarely wants sex.

Erica Ann

You're looking great and doing great. Congrats on all the attention in the parade. Can you post a link to the picture you mentioned? You look great in the avitar but it is soo SMALL.

Anne

Hi Erica Ann. I just finished reading your hole thread. I am new here. I want to tell you how much I admire you and your strength to transition into womanhood. God you've got it all going for you except your famliy. Well I would love to tell them that they have now idea what they are missing in you. I am so glad that most things are going so well for you. Also I am so glad that you can wright so well and put it all in words for us little folk to follow along with you on your journey. Thank you so much, and I wish you nothing but happiness going forward. Paula

P.S. I am also so jealous cuz I would love to have your tit's C cup perfect!!

Hi Everyone,

Well, I'm now down to 7 weeks and 4 days to my GRS procedure, but whose counting.

I've had my HIV test, which came back negative (no surprise) and have my EKG test scheduled for tomorrow morning. Both of these tests are required by Dr. Bowers prior to surgery.

I did receive my information package from her offices late last week and my pre-surgery conference is scheduled with her for 9 AM on Thursday, September 18th. She included a list of things to bring along, which includes maxi pads (never had the need for them and have never worn one, but there's a first time for everything) She also suggests a small hand mirror for dilating purposes until you get accustomed to where everything is at between your legs. Kinda exciting, if you know what I mean?

The airline tickets have been purchased and the rental car is reserved. Motels reservations have been made and I have notified my employer of my medical leave of absence.

Some of my friends have asked if I'm nervous. No, I'm not nervous, just getting real excited. The conclusion of a half a century dream is coming close to becoming reality!

Great news I know how nervous and excited you are I am so happy for you

I hope everything continues to go smoothly for you good luck

That is so wonderful Erica. I am very happy and excited for you, and I know Christina would be also. That is 11 days before Christina's birthday. I know she is somewhere smiling and cheering you on. Sorry I haven't been around much, but i'm still reading as I can. Look forward to seeing you one day again.

love and hugs, Lilac

Who is counting? You are and we are all waiting with you. --FLO--

Hi Everyone,

This past Wednesday was the one year anniversary of me going full time in living my life, 24/7, as me. It was an uneventful passing but gave me pause on how good my life has been over the past 12 months.

First, it doesn't seem like a full year, maybe 6 months at the most. I guess it goes along with the old saying "time flies when you're having fun" and it has been a lot of fun, that's for sure.

I've made some many new friends through my transition as well as losing a few along the line, but the gain more than compensates for the loss.

There has been some good things happening on the family front. Two weeks ago we had a small party at our home for my spouse's family. Several of her sisters as well as her mother and one of her brothers and his spouse were in attendance. There was some really good conversations and a lot of intelligent questions asked. It was so nice to finally meet them as my real self. I received a good reception from everyone and I felt it went real well. Finally, some acceptance by family.

On another good note, I'm only five weeks away from my date with the surgeon for GRS. As the date gets closer, it's getting harder to contain my excitement. My spouse is having a "going away party", if you know what I mean on Tuesday night, September 16th. If anyone's in the area, let me know, you're more than welcome to attend.

Ok, my hairs stuck up a bit when I read "going away party" Ouch!

Anyway soon the incorrect bits will be in the medical waste and you will be happily zoned out on the really good drugs! Wooo Wooo!

Then you will have to turn in your TS card for a F card and life will be ubber good!

Congratulations on your one year anniversary, Erica Ann! It will be a mere three months since I transitioned this coming Monday but that time has flown by so I can relate!

This is terrific news and I am happy for you.

I have been very aware of your upcoming GRS date. The going away party is a great idea and your spouse is so very thoughtful! If I lived closer, I would certainly love to attend. As it is, I will have to be content with wishing you a great time at the party.

Before you know it, you'll be through with the surgery and have something else to celebrate when you return home.

Best wishes and many hugs,

Danya

Hi Gang,

Well, the time is drawing near. Two weeks from today will be my last day in the office before leaving for Colorado. Today I sent the last of the information, e.g.; medical history form, EKG and HIV test results, completed medical release form, a brief personal history and the cashier's checks to Dr. Bower via UPS Second Day Air.

Began to shop for the necessities of my new life today. Things like maxi pads, panty liners, bed protectors and the most important of the items...lubrication for dilation.

I'm getting so excited. The time is drawing near after a year of waiting...or should I say a whole lifetime of waiting. The time is getting close for this dream to become reality. The reality of my new life. The one I've always felt should have been from the start.

In preparation of the BIG EVENT, I've decided to treat myself to a full set of hair extensions, which I will have installed on Thursday night. A girl has to look her best you know!

Went to my local hang out this past Saturday night and all of the other girls were abuzz with excitement for me. They keep talking to me about it and telling me how happy they are for me. It was really nice of them.

I can hardly wait for Wednesday the 17th to arrive!

You go, Girl!

Just watch out for short Asian guys obsessed with boobs!

What an odd combo. I open the mail and my wife's Estrogen falls out of the envelope and I read your post. Congrats on the good EKG and everything being a go! Butterflys?? I almost forgot this is your month for the big day!!! Sending you many prayers for a quick recovery!

Take the pain pills (Or IV press the button) don't try to be a tough girl! Take your laxatives (I think? right???) the opiates plug you up like no ones biz! When I asked my GP which one to take after my Orchi she laughed and said ALL THREE!

Don't let anyone tell you jokes for the first week. Ouch Ouch Ouch! And no sneezing...

Tell Dr Marci hi from he MN fan club. *No cracks Danya!

Oh and when you have to pee for the first time remember these words. "Let us spray" Er pray?

Dear Erica Ann,

You've been on quite a journey that has taken you so far. You are an inspiration for me, young lady! You will be in my thoughts and prayers during your time in Colorado as another part of your dream becomes reality. I wish you much happiness.

I've seen some of those hair extensions on woman friends. I didn't know they were even using any until they told me. They looked terrific and I am sure you will, too.

Hugs,

Danya

With almost 37k views of this thread, well...congratulations!

Keep us posted.

I am glad to hear the big day is finally coming! Hope all goes well. You deserve the best.

I admire you, I admire Danya. Because you do what your heart says. I guess I did the same things 3 years ago this September 20th, when I turned my back on everything safe, my complete safety net and move on with my life to live with Bobbie. There were times that I was really confused and upset, but given time to see reality, I have realized that it was the best move for me. Danya and Erica Ann; you go gurls. Hurrah.

The time is drawing very near now. One short week from right now...I will be post op! It's almost hard for me to believe that after waiting all this time my dream is about to come true.

Just two more days in the office, a party for me on Tuesday night and next Wednesday I'll be on a plane making my way to Colorado. Friday is my surgery, my new birthday, September 19th, will truly be a day that will live in my memory for the rest of my life.

One more weekend to party, which I'm definitely going to do! Going to the club tonight to see all of my girl friends and have a few cocktails as well as tomorrow night. I won't be getting out too much for several weeks after this weekend so I'm planning on making the most of it, that's for sure!

OMG, I just can't wait for next week!

We need to ask IEunuch to build a count down clock or ??

Do you know your room number etc yet??
