Hi, I’m the total mess known as Emma, and I’m currently a little overwhelmed with things.

So, long story short:

  • I started HRT January 2023

  • I desperately need bottom surgery as soon as possible

  • I’m worried that I should have been doing electrolysis instead of laser

  • I’m worried about wait lists for surgery

  • I’m worried about the costs of surgery

  • I need to find a surgeon

  • I’m interested in evacuating to a safe state on the west coast

  • I feel overwhelmed with everything that I need to do

There’s so much going on for me right now, and I’m seeking input from everyone here with something to say about any of my struggles.

Thanks ❤️

    and you get the insurance immediately after moving if you are low income

    I would guess that I’d need to actually have a residence there right? So like, if I can manage to rent a room, I’m good, but if I can’t find a stable living situation it wouldn’t count as having moved there?

    I currently have Medicare, so I think everything should be covered if I can just manage to secure a residence.

      Medicare might be different, what I was talking about is Oregon’s medicaid program, OHP. For OHP I don’t think you need a permanent address, you can be homeless and list your address as “general delivery” at the local post office. But Medicare is an entirely different program, and I can’t tell you whether you can have both Medicare and OHP, the rules get very complex
