| Hey everyone!!!! Happy Summer!!! Sorry for the delay in writing. I have been a busy beaver!!!!! A happy beaver never the less. Ok well since I last wrote I have had my breast augmentated and I have a boyfriend now about 3 months. The breast surgery was7 weeks ago. I truly have chosen the right Doctor. I can not believe the results. Amazing!!! From A to Z I had a first class stay. I will post all the doctors imformation if anyone is thinking of having new breasts installed (hehe).. I have to say he is the high end of the money scale but worth every last cent. I was back to work in 5 or 6 days. I am very sorry if some of you have emailed me and I did not get back to you. I will have time soon to answer all emails.I have very long days starting at 5am getting up and working out and then getting ready for work and then along day. Most of the time I do not get home until 8pm or so. I also am still doing the electrolis. Getting much less but still 2 hours a week. In July which is very soon I will be having FFS surgery which stands for Facial Femininaztion Surgery. I will be in Chicago with Dr. Zukowski. I decided to go with Dr. Z because I believe he keeps your natural look as much as possible and will give me the best look without becoming that cookie cutterish look of other FFS surgeons I am nervous but I am ready as well. I have my best friend and boyfriend coming with me for support No doubt this will be the greatest mentally tough thing I have ever encounted and I am as ready as I can be. ahhh.. I will have my lab top with me so I will write ok and return all those emails.. Diana |

| Ok well I have gone to Chicago and had FFS Surgery the scariest thing that I will do in my life I believe. I am almost 2 weeks thru it and as expected it is very tuff and also as expected I thaught it would be all mental more than anything. This is true. My Boyfriend has been so so so awesome. He not only is cute and sexy but so loving and caring!!!!.He has been a rock!!!!bigtime.. I love you Joe if you read this..,. My friend AKA Mish Mink was there for me as well!! Mish was totally great what a real friend does!!! awesome.. You really find out who your true close friends are sometimes when you go thru this kind of stuff..I have to say it feels really good to get so many emails asking for me and caring quite incredible. Also Please excuse me for non return emails for the past mointh and especially lately, to obvois reasons!!!... Well like I said it is two weeks so I look quite hurtin. So hard to not reconize yourself and see bruises and swelling,,ahhhh,,, Alot of you will and have said why did i do this ? why did I need this?. Well the fact is unless I was perfectly made up I would not pass...over all i think prior to this op i passed about 70-75 % of the time... Remember pictures are pictures and i am a perfectionist to a point. I may still be read but i believe the chances will be extremely higher. Do I and will I look different ?. yes i will I am a weeks away of to start to see the big time results but ,y hair line and forhead and nose are quite incredible to be honest ,,yes different.. This is the decision I made and can not go back, I believe it has been the right one and will be happy with it. At 2 weeks this is the worst time they say for this operation. So i will get threw it and fight it. Then kick its ass, hehe,, please feel free to wrie met upto the 9th of August becasue i should have more time to respond becasue ill be home. So Anyways I want to say I am doing great and everything at this point is very good, just dealing with a ton of swellin and bruisin,,, yuck, Oh yea i try to stay out of the mirror but the the dam problem is I have tons of them everywhere!!!haaaaaaa....hehhe Hugs .....will write in a few weeks or sooner ok!!!

| September 24th 2004 Ok well It is now fall my favorite part of the year. Week 10 since my surgery and all is very very well. I am very happy with my surgery I had with Doctor Zukowski out of Chicago. He has been very caring and very truthful to me and is extremely caring and it is not bull either!! I still have alittle swollen but most could not tell. Only me. One side of my nose is swollen more but again you cant tell.. I guess my biggest pain in my butt is electrolis. I am coming along very good but I have to take a lot of time to do this and Ill tell yea it is a pain in the butt..... I am still with my boyfriend and we are doing very good. We are at the 6 month mark and I am having a great time.. Last but not least and the most important thing is my job. Now going on my 19th year at my dealership. I am doing great and it seems to me like it is no biggy any more to be honest.There is always a select few I am sure but they are respectful to me and Thats all I ask for!! It was very very important that my departments do very well after my transition and we have exceeded even past my expectations. That is a great thing.. I will continue to bust my butt because my work is alot of me. My suggestion to any girls out there that are planning to transitioning on the job. Please make sure you work as hard and as smart as possible. Make yourself become extremely valueable in the work place. Trust me you will highten your chances of succeding. Ok!! What is kinda funny is that I feel like I came full circle. Meaning about 5 years ago I was a male and married and in alot of people eyes I had the perfect life.. Pretty wife nice house .. great job.. etc... Well I took a major chance. So now 5 years later I am a women and have a better house and my job is better and I have a boyfriend and we go out to movies,concerts etc.... We love to watch redsox and patroits games together and we even play wiffle ball against each other. I do beat him quite bad some times hehe.. but he still wins becasue I make him a great dinner and her gets to have me,, hehehe,, humor,, Oh speaking of humor, If you gurls do transition make sure you have thick skin and you must have humor becasue that will relax others around you ,, Trust me it works.. Ok... I have to fly.. I will write again soon.. Hugs Diana.... |
