If you know anything about transgender healthcare, you know there’s some fairly significant gatekeeping hurdles to be overcome. That’s particularly true of gender affirming surgery.
I received a bill today for my portion of the surgery on 30-April of this year. That was the very minor surgery to implant the loop recorder under the skin of my left breast.
I was diagnosed with POTS this past November at my very first cardiologist appointment. I am not a candidate for “exercise” as a treatment due to chronic pain flares with even slight exertion.

I am a well educated woman, a lesbian, and an eclectic Pagan. I am loving and giving. I am a caretaker type, who often fails miserably at self care. I have fibromyalgia, seizure disorder, and AFib.
I am complex, complicated, and worth the effort.
