Once I had a date I got busy and started reading what I could get my hands on. Turns out that there are some pretty good books out there. Here's my current favorite: Stranger Here by Jen Larsen. It was a memoir of her life leading to the decision and then post surgery, and how she figured out how to love herself. So it takes you through the emotional and the physical realities too. She goes into great detail, but she is a terrific writer and keeps you going in a snarky and witty voice. It is all very honest and enlightening. How we have to do the inside work as well as the physical effort to be the person we want to be.

See you around. My surgery date was 5 days ago. So far so good. Exhausted. nap now. No water first, then pee then nap. So much to do!
