T Day

Max officially started T today!  He was very excited.  I don't think he was very nervous at all.  His Dr...true to her AWESOMENESS, got us both a gift.  A TShirt for him and a pin for me!  She is just the greatest!

Picture (with Max's permission), is BRO NRG!  His "brothers" will get this one, it's his message to them.  Bro Energy is something the guys in the support group say to each other when referring to these types of things!  Max being in the spirit had it written on his butt before the shot! :)

Complete surprise

We returned from vacation.  Max didn't have any problems via security either direction, so another Whew! on that one.  We fly to Seattle soon, but he gets to fly as Max so not anticipating any issues.  Still worry about scanners.  I believe there will be three other transguys flying with us, so I'm hoping we ALL get through without issue.

Yesterday was our "formal" interview with Cynthia McFadden (new anchor for ABC Nightline).  Alot of lights and camera's all over the house.  The camera guys were great though, they put everything back in it's place, would have never known there were here.  Interviews went well I think.  I always worry about editing and how I look and sound, but thinking I didn't say anything stupid or anything that would embarrass my son. 

After our interview we took alittle break and they prepared lunch for us, which our friendly camera gal that has been following us for a couple months got from a local sandwich shop.  We get a knock on the door while we were talking and I'm pushing Jim to get rid of the solicitors, but it wasn't anyone selling anything, it was Chaz Bono.!!  The new voice for transgender guys everywhere!  In MY house!!  I truly think Max was starstruck.  Our family, Cynthia and Chaz then had an informal interview over lunch.  How amazing.  I truly thank the people that put this together for us and to Chaz for taking time out of his busy life to visit us!!

I won't post the picture here, but keep an eye out for Max's (and Chaz's) documentary coming sometime early September 2011.
