Hello, everyone reading this! Well, it is currently 9:10 AM, I am running on just a few hours of sleep, and I am feeling mainly positive about my body today :)

So, I was informed by my plastic surgeon, Dr. Keith Fullmar, that I’m meeting with him on the 25th of this month for, dramatic drum roll please, Top Surgery!!! I’m flying back home on the 23rd for a video call with Dr. Fullmar first, and the next day is the day of operation. Every time I recall this date, my heart begins to speed up and I get this tingly feeling in my stomach and shoulders, sort of like the feeling at my first jazz band concert; anxious yet excited. The original date was set for December 21, 2020, but I was tested positive for Covid-19 on the 19th (ironic, right?) At the airport and back home, I am going to be taking extensive steps in order to keep my family safe, strangers safe, and myself. That being said, I am so excited that I’ve barely been able to type all of this without going back and fixing my spelling errors, haha.

I’ve also recently been noticing more facial hair on my cheeks and above my top lip. I’m not the skinniest guy, but I’ve also been noticing my arms gaining more muscle, as well as my calves. I have a few photos from before transitioning to now, so here they are :)
