    Hi Everypony!

    I just talked to the Gender Center. I was worried because they are in a city that's a 3 hour drive from my home, but they said I only need to do 1 intake session and 1 intro session w/ my therapist then the rest can be done via skype! That's soooo much easier! :slight_smile:

    It looks like early December might be the best, she said if I intake on Tuesday, i could do a transitions group, see my therapist on Wednesday, and it would only be one trip w/ an overnight stay.

    It's so exciting, because I have *no* way to get up there often, but 1 overnigt trip and skype for the rest is awesome! :icon_bigg

    Thanx, Everypony. :slight_smile: I'm so excited that the skype sessions are available. Colorado has areas that are so backwards, really. :slight_smile:

    That is awesome that after you get things set up you can do skype sessions! Congrats on calling! (I had to wait too, it's so annoying but it is totally worth it in the end.)

    That awesome that you are planning to make a nice trip out of it. If you have to go so far away, you may as well make a nice trip out of it :slight_smile:

    exactly! We can really do some fun things, at least cuisine-wise. And much less stressful that 6+ driving hours in one day. :slight_smile:

    Congratulations! My mom just called for one today as well. Mine is two hours away, but I don't think we'll be using Skype at all. D: I'll probably just have to have less frequent visits.

    Sweet! Hooray for you.

    Let me quote an advice column answer I saw this week: "You are awesome, and you should feel awesome." True, that!
