As expected our Endo visit went wonderful. We have really been blessed with the best Dr we could have ever found. She not only has the best bedside manner, she's fun, knowledgeable and spends actual TIME with you. So our next step is starting hormones. This exam was a physical exam plus blood work. Snags: Max and I went to the lab. Besides it taking two hour wait, NOTE TO SELF: get an appt, even when they say walk ins welcome. So I come prepared, have my paperwork, etc. I let them know about the name change, and that it is now changed with the insurance. I even made sure I pointed it out to the woman putting the info into the computer. So we sit and sit, then there is comes....."MAKENZIE"...they called!! UGH. Max and I both felt our hearts drop, WHY do people have to be insensitive??
And NEWS: We now have a birth certificate with Max's name, and the other changes with Social Security with new card. We also now have our note from our Dr. so next step is Passport. The happy news there is that we will be able to use the gender MALE on the passport, which in turn let's us put male on his state ID. That would also mean he could have a driver's license with his proper name and gender.
ABC has continued to follow him for the documentary. They are coming back after our vacation.
So on a good note: no episodes at the airport today. No scanners or pat downs for us. TSA seems to have a mission each day. They must meet in the AM to find out who they are to target today. On this day it was old ladies. The two people that were getting pat downs were old ladies. There has got to be a better way.
