Hi All
There are those of us who can go to other places and find people like us for the interaction we seek. Then there are those of us who can not travel or who have no idea where to even go if they did travel. With the price of gas this past year no one could really afford to go too far or even on a regular basis to any place. The nearest group from Amarillo is about 250 miles, I’m only able to go out a few times a year to other cities due to other commitments. The fact that we are so far from any other group is the main reason I begun this group. The demographics alone shows there are about at least 2,000 of us here in the panhandle. Yes that’s correct 2,000. You see you’re not alone. The main purpose for the group is to get us connected no matter where you are in the spectrum, be it just wearing a few articles of clothing or post-op TS. The biggest hurdle for any TG is stepping out of the house. The nice thing about the group is you don’t have to do anything except come as you are, no need to dress up and no need to worry about anything just come and be with others like yourself.
I offer to meet for the first time with any sister or brother outside of the group at a public place like a restaurant. This gives you the opportunity to visit with me one on one and or bring your spouse along too. I am married and my spouse will be glad to join us if need be. You just come in your natural mode, there is no need for you to feel any more uncomfortable then you feel already. I do use a place that is very receptive of us and they have great food.
At the meetings we can talk about anything TG you need to talk about, whether it be how to, what, when or help topic. Between Sherri and I we can answer just about any question. We are planning to have different topics at various times during the meetings, anywhere from how to techniques to visiting Doctors from different fields.
Email me and let’s talk, Sandra
