Guess what time of the year it is?

That’s right, surgery time! It is starting to become a thing that I get surgery in December. It’s mostly due to my work schedule.

Anyways welcome! It’s been a long time since my last post about orchiectomy and I thought this was the perfect time to update. It is currently 5:33am and I am headed into the city for my breast augmentation surgery.

It’s been in the works for about 7 months now and I am nervous and excited that it’s finally getting done!

My surgery is scheduled for 8am but I have to be there at 6. Getting up early isn’t my strong suit, but for this I make an exception. For those who are interested I am getting a sub-glandular(above the muscle) augmentation with 500 and 550cc silicone gel implants. Since I am so tall this should look pretty proportional. I am getting them above the muscle because my job is so physical I would be constantly squishing them and they probably would not heal very well.

Other then that my life has been pretty status quo. I’m still working at a music theatre and living at home. So without further adieu I am going to sit and rest for the next 2 hours until my surgery.

    I’m so happy I found your website, I hope you are still going to do updates🤞
    I’ve just started my transition, taking HRT for MTF, currently 39 and also a red head who is quite tall. You give me so much inspiration and I have to thank you for sharing your journey.
    I’m trying to decide on electrolysis for my beard but not sure whether to do HRT for a while first or just jump straight into electrolysis now?

    I’m also keeping a long of my changes over time, must be a read head thing 😊 I like your idea for tracking the breast growth photos, I think I’ll start doing that as well, I’m only on day 22 of HRT so if I start now I should still get a good baseline.

    I’ll have to go back and read through some of your older blog posts.

    Thanks again 🥰

      I’m happy for you! That’s great! That’s such an exciting time. I think you should start electrolysis now HRT has a pretty minimal effect on facial hair. It may make it a little lighter, but I think it’s better to get started with the electrolysis as soon as you can because it takes so long.

      I should probably get some more done. I think I did around 20-25 hours and I can go around 3 days without shaving, more if Im plucking in between.
