Just as I think I’ve changed my name everywhere, something else pops up. So many hoops to jump through and I can’t wait to be finally done… well, as done as I can be. I finally went and got a haircut so I could get a picture for my new passport, and when I get that, I can update my Nexus card. Next, up is getting documents certified so I can get a replacement university diploma. And go back to the pharmacy, again, because my name change just won’t go through.
I finally got all my papers together for the GRS clinic. I’m really looking forward to top surgery.
Like I’ve mentioned before, the latest MRI scans of my knees show moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis with floating bone fragments (my knees are messed up from a combo of running and genetics) but my doc is confident that I don’t need surgery on them just yet—I’m getting cortisone shots to keep down the swelling, and I’d like to try using CBD oil. I was worried I would have to put off top surgery because of knee surgery, so I’m glad my knees will “keep” for a while. The weight loss helps. However, I’ve found that being on testosterone sort of screws a little bit with tendons/muscle growth and ratio so I have to be extra careful. Needless to say, my weightlifting regime is still very light.
