Having made the choice to move forward, I felt relieved. As I have moved along in the process I find more and more relief. There is something almost calming to have such support in this community. I am nervous about the procedure but also very optimistic about the future. Which is something I had not really been for some time. Does anyone else out there feel the same? No one said the journey would be easy but to take charge of my future feels amazing.

Indecision can be horrible. I took weeks for me to pull the trigger and thinking about it was really irritating me. But I set my date and it was a load off my shoulders. I'm very busy getting caught up at work before I leave so I don't have much time to think about anything but the logistics of everything. But now and then I realize the big changes ahead and get very excited!
