I said in my last blog that I had an important telephone call to make today, hence the video above 'Telephone - Long Distance Love Affair' by Sheena Easton. From 1984, when I should have been looking to transition, the video is incredibly 'cheesy' - and if the characters in it were the kind of men she liked - I really don't fancy hers at ALL!

Anyway, I had to get in touch with the psychiatrist, who I had been seeing for a while about the problems caused by the breakdown of my marriage, to see if they could help move my transition forward. As I didn't know if I was going to be talking to the psychiatrist or his secretary I was dreading making the call. I put off ringing until almost the last possible moment and wrote myself a 'script' of what I wanted to say.

Taking a very deep breath I keyed in the number and as the psychiatrist was out of the office I read my script to his secretary, expecting her to think, "What the hell is he talking about." So it was such a relief when she said the letter from him to say he's more than happy with my transition will be on my doctors desk tomorrow! It was so good to see that some people will do even more than they really need to!
