Had friend who after they started transition had three accidents within 2 months...  The car was in the shop more than out during those times, too...

Don't worry.. things do settle down...

The medical effects kick in a little slower, but the knowledge of what you are doing for yourself is instant.  Its a big step, congrats!!!!!

The excitment you feel today will someday be replaced by the fear that you forgot to pack them for a long vacation.

Reminds me of a friend of mine who had  several "female problems' later in life.

You know..Those problems women have that are not talked about in mixed company.

She couldn't parallel park.. couldn't get credit, wasn't being paid at the same rate as her male co-workers..

More seriously.

I have noticed many times when I am out and about as Jillian, I drive differently. I am much more careful and less aggressive of a driver.  I let people in more, and tend to be less skillful at swinging the car into a parking spot.

It really is an adjustment in my mental state.. that I don't do conscientiously. Even my wife can see when I am Jillian, regardless of how I am dressed.

As so often is the case, it's all about mind over matter and if you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

The euphoria of beginning hormones is a wonderful time but always keep in mind, that when the fantasy stops, the reality begins.

Make your plans well and be prepared for the lows that are inevitable but should never be allowed to overshadow the highs that you will experience through this time of transition.

It is one of the most beautiful times in life, the freeing of the mind from the constraints that our bodies have placed us under.

It's not for the faint-hearted and as I like to remind on a regular basis, "Only the strong transition."

Essentially, I am saying that this is the toughest of roads to travel and you need to do the best thing for you and ultimately, your resolve and belief that what you do, is the best for those around you and it has always been my belief that those around you, will be infinitely better off by you being a better, a healthier and a happier you.

I wish you good luck on your journey.

It's a wonderful feeling to finally get started on HRT. It was the start of my new life as me and it just keeps getting better. there is struggles from time to time but very well worth every bit of it. I could never go back ever! How can I or anyone expect me not to me. I'm very happy for you.
