In a few weeks I go for my first appointment for HRT. I am anxious about it, but feel that it needs to be done. My therapist is under the theory that I won't know what my next step after HRT is until I am actually on hormones and I'm inclined to agree with him. There are a lot of hindrances in my journey, mostly my concern about how other people will view me and if I'll be labeled a freak. But it is still a step.

Now, for my issue. After all is said and done the initial visit is going to run me about 500 - 600 dollars that I currently don't have (This includes the first doctor visit and all the lab work that needs to be done). The bank still hasn't returned the money that was stolen from my account and won't do so until the police make an arrest. The police were suppose to interview the suspects last Friday, part of me thinks that the tropical storm may have derailed that plan. I could really use some help, even if it is a loan. I could probably pay back within 3 months, maybe quicker if my roommate starts paying rent.

Thank you for your time.
