It's been crazy around here!
Angela's has been ill, my sister has been here for a visit, and Brooke has had a big birthday bash.
Angela's been down for almost a month now, and she's bored to death. She hasn't been able to do much except go for doctor's visits, and she hasn't been able to see the granddaughters at all. She wept about having to miss the birthday party.
The good news is she has been a great patient. She has kept on the lookout for little things she can do without expending too much energy - like fixing a leak, doing the laundry, and helping with dinner. She has been busy with sleeping and reading too. Most of all, she has managed to stay in good humor through all of this, and what a change that has been!
See, hormones make all the differnce in the world.
About Me
- Jonni Pettit
- Fresno, CA, United States
- While dating my husband to be, a Lt. in the AF, I received a fortune cookie that read, "You and your wife will be very happy." That turned out to be prophetic. We married in 1966; in 1984, he told me he needed to be a woman. I choose to stay in the marriage. There was little knowledge then about anything Transgender until the Internet came along. We learned about The Harry Benjamin Standards of Care and found a therapist. My husband changed his name and began hormones in 1999. It saved our marriage. He became what he needed to be, and I fell in love with her too. S/he retired, and we began our Real Life Test in 2000. My 50+ year-old husband became a pre-teen, and then a know-it-all teenage girl, and I became Angela's Wife! Sex Reassignment Surgery was in 2002, and she’s still my spouse. Now, I enjoy being retired from newspaper advertising, and I'm working on a novel. I love to read, enjoy our granddaughter and RVing. I'm also building a Japanese Garden. Let's talk.
