Two weeks later, and not much change.

It's been another two or four weeks, and I'm still on the wound vac. I've been following the doctors' instructions, and things are healing much better - but I still have the darn thing. They said maybe this week(tomorrow) they will be able to free me from it, but not going to hold my breath.
Meanwhile, I've been house-hunting. Found one I really want, within a reasonable price range given my income - or serious lack thereof right now - and applied to my credit union for a loan. Waiting to hear back a yes or no decision on that now. Waiting is the worst.
I have an appointment for the mental health doctor for my transgender counseling now - December 23rd. A different mental health doctor to see me on Feb. 8th, to get me off of the anti-depressants, I hope. So, I am getting things in order and moving on that - at about a snail's pace. I wish they could arrange to see me sooner, but with the current overload the VA has in demand for mental health, this is the soonest they could fit me in.
