Day 56
Well I am proud to say I have finally made some progress in finding a doctor. I got an email from a nurse over in California, that had a list of therapists in Indiana. I contacted one on Facebook since the list said she lives here in Valparaiso, but her Facebook says she lives in Chicago. But either way, I don't think I'll hear from her. I hate the sound of my voice and talking on the phone and stuff, so I try and stick to emails whenever possible.
Which brought me to my next therapist. She lives in Indianapolis, but she does Skype sessions, so I wouldn't actually have to go to Indy to see her. Which I think is a great way to do therapy, but I can't afford it. Plus again, I hate my voice and talking on a cam. So if I went with a Skype session, I'd probably leave my camera off. But again, unless my insurance covers the full cost, I can't afford it until I get a job. But the best thing is, she works with a doctor that does hormone therapy. Should have mentioned the therapist is specialized in gender. But it's really great to find someone who works with a doctor like that.
Now, because I'm really in no hurry (though I would love to start hormones asap) I emailed her back saying that maybe in the future I will counsel with her. Until I can afford it really. Plus, I'll need 2 letters of recommendation anyways for the actual surgery. so having those 2 therapists working with me will be fantastic! Anyways, I'm just glad to have finally made some real progress in all this. I was getting so distraught with all this, but now I'm much perkier :)
Happy Easter everyone!
