Crossdressers-Haven.com

Hi all - good to be back here.

Wow ! What a thrill. I am all dressed for the first time in months. I have lost about 20 lbs, and my femme things look and feel better. Wig and lipstick help, and even the aged face looks more feminine.

For the several weeks, I have been trying to cope with a miserable mitral heart valve. After a long session with the cardiologist yesterday, I decided to stick with medication and life style control, rather than surgery. Even at my age and state of decrepitude, surgery is a viable option, but the risks are too high for my non-gambling nature.

The management of my condition is easy: walk with a cane slowly; take a bunch of deep breaths from time to time; take my pills; eat lightly with minimum salt; have a nice nap in the afternoon. I have no trouble driving to do shopping or any of my other responsibilities. All as long as I do it slowly. As time goes by, my physical tolerance should improve. Besides, my beloved SO has been of huge support.

Curiously, now that I am dressed, I feel more chipper and breathing easier. Maybe this is a temporary illusion, but maybe there is something to the health of cross-dressing. At any rate, I shall report here from time to time. Of course, I am back to reading the mail faithfully. I'll insert a post here and there when the spur thrusts appropriately.

BTW: Great recovery, Elizabeth. My fondest wishes!

Hugs to all,

Willy

Hi Willy,

Yes I believe there is something to the health of cross-dressing. If there wasn't it would not feel so right.

To move slowly while taking some deep breaths sounds like it could be good advise for some.

Welcome Back.

Welcome back Willy. If dressing seems to help, go for it. Even if it may be in the mind, the mind does have some power to heal.

Willy,

Yes, I am glad to see you back and dressed. Anything that relieves stress is going to help. I too have had to permanently accept lifestyle changes so I can enjoy a long life of crossdressing. Glad to hear you are doing well and I look forward to your posts.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Hi Willy--
Yes, do keep us posted. I will be interested to see if you do notice more benefits. Certainly the other things you're doing should work well for you, and I trust your health will indeed begin to improve.

Doing enjoyable things probably releases endorphins which make you happy & feel good. Think of the guy who recovered from a serious illness watching 3 stooges videos - not quite the same, we all have our likes. And here we all have a similar like

Take care (seriously) and enjoy.

Anne

Thaks to all for the good thoughts.

It is all mental, of course, but I do feel I can cope better en femme. Still all inhouse - mostly.

Thanks for the idea, Anne - I have a complete set of Marx Bros. movies on DVD. I think I'll drag them out one by one. I could watch that famous stateroom scene (Night at the Opera) over and over again.

Hugs,

Willy
