Dear Stacy and Shane,
Well, what a year I have had; the best year for 20 or more. On January 18th I had Gender reassignment surgery and Vulvaplasty at Spire Yale Hospital in Wrexham. From start to finish a first class job.
A feeling of calm and peacefulness came over me as I lay in bed after operation and realised that at long last, my external body matched my inner feeling. I have also been on H.R.T for over 18 months giving me small breasts as well. As I am turned 80, so sooner, rather than wait any longer, I paid for the operation myself - nearly £18,000 but worth every penny (redundancy money from 30 years ago I never used).
