Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends. Today was a great day in my transition. I spent the day as my true self at my brother's house for Thanksgiving. After coming out to him and his wife it was their first time meeting Jenni in person. There were members of my sister-in-law's family, her daughter and my nephew at dinner. I was accepted by everyone there. I had the chance to talk to my youngest son and wish him happy Thanksgiving. My only regret was not being able to wish my oldest son a happy Thanksgiving. But it was still a great day for my first real Thanksgiving celebration. My holiday hope is that all of you had a great Thanksgiving  day too.

Today was a great day for me. I had a doctors appointment at 8:00am and it was a great appt. I have worked hard over the last month to improve my medical condition and I was rewarded today for that hard work.  I began on 6-12-06 to check my sugar levels on a regular basis per my doctors request and my need to take care of myself because I have a lot to continue living for. I choose on 6-20-06 to give up choclate, cakes, cookies and candy. As a result my sugar levels have continued to stay in the acceptable range between 90 and 120.  I also began to watch the  other foods I eat to began to lose weight. At my appointment today I did record a weight loss.  My doctor (she is such a sweetheart) was very excited and happy for me.  She helped me to feel very good about what I have accomplished.  It feels very good to see positive results because of what I am doing. The ultimate positive result is that I was able to receive my perscription for hormones and at 9:45am placed the  first patch on my body that will deliver hormones into my body.  My journey continues and I am very excited about that.

I want to wish all of you a great summer weekend.
