Start of HRT: Day 2
Today was bit better day than yesterday. I slept better although to bit too late. Everything has been more "normal". I still have extensive amount of auras in my vision, which are mostly in form of afterimage-kindof. But not as much as yesterday. I'm also feeling tipsy but not that much than yesterday. I don't dare to touch any alcohol yet, though.
My heart rate was better today, I looked back a bit, week or two, and my resting heart rate has been less than 70 quite consistently. Today, it has been around 70, bit over or below. Well, HRT is quite stressful for body at first as everything is going upside down so no wonder.
I'm giving hints at work, to see how people react. I'm not surprised that for most people my hints was just confusing, but evenings duty officer (päivystäjä in finnish) was bit sharper so I told more to him. I'm planning to tell in one internal channel about this on monday, as one other duty officer, who has seen me outside work and knew, asked very good question: Which pronomine do I prefer in english customer communication? In finnish there is only one pronomine so that's easy but english is different story. I answered that he until name change as those people most likely won't see me so they will do assumptions from the name. So using she might just cause confusion, especially if I'm saying something in the actual communication. And it's good to them to know that what is happening as hormones should start to do things to my psyche in week or two. There is couple of people I'm bit worried about how they would react as they are bit more conservative and manly than others. Well, we will see soon enough.
Weekend! I should use it to practice voice, so monday would be easier as I planned to start using new voice then. But, more will follow tomorrow.
