The Bud

Everybody dies, but not everybody lives. Live your life in a way that makes you happy and proud. It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before ... to test your limits ... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Cars and Testosterone Blockers Are A Girls Best Friends

Well, what a week it's been! I am now back on the road. I have a silver 1 litre Chevrolet Matiz. It's 3 years old and is awesome. I love it and love how easy it's made life. It's the first car I've had for 2 years but it's strange how easy I found getting back behind the wheel. I thought that I'd find it hard but I've taken back to it like a duck to water. My confidence isn't quite there yet but that's a good thing I think.

Yesterday I had my appointment at the Nottingham GIC. It was with Dr Bouman and we had a nice chat about how things were going. For the first time he mentioned seeing a surgeon for my second opinion. It won't be until next June but I know how fast a year can go. Having these quarterly appointments at the GIC seems to make the time go quick. Before I know it it'll be September and my next appointment! Another development that occurred yesterday was that he's going to write to my GP in relation to prescribing an anti-androgen. It's administered in the form of an implant in my belly. It should really knock my testosterone levels down and should effect my body hair and (hopefully) facial hair. I'm hoping to recieve my first implant within the next couple of weeks.

Freedom of the road! Should help with travel for your unusual hours of work.

Body hair should reduce, it did with me once the testosterone was given the heave, don't hold out too much hope for facial hair, nature is weird like that!
