Sorry if this is not appropriate but using the forum to relieve some more stress.

I have been dressing everyday for the past 12 days and going out dressed. The reason being my wife went to Torquay on a coach holiday with a friend on Monday 1st Oct till Friday 5th Oct. On Tuesday Morning at 6am she was being sick and in a lot of stomach pain. Her friend had to call ambulance 3 times before thy came and got her to hospital at about 10.30. I had driven my truck from Poole to Nottingham to delivery a load of meat to Sainsbury’s when I got the call from my wife’s friend that she was in hospita. Then had to drive back to Poole drive home then drive to Torquay Hospital getting there at 10pm. Stepdaughter and stepson had both arrived before me, their dad had driven the daughter down and stepson came with his partner and baby. Wife was in surgery they removed large intestine as it was strangled and dying. She remained in an induced coma for 5 days in ICU and it took a further two before she was awake enough to be transferred to a ward. Still not doing well, had xrays during the night and just came back from a CT Scan.

When I came down to Torquay I moved into the wife’s room as it was paid for, hotel staff very kind and asking about the wife. Wife’s friend knows I dress so asked if she minded my dressing and she said no. She and the hotel staff male and females have been really lovely both about my wife and my dressing. The hotel is mainly full of much older people on a coach trip, I have had some funny looks (what do I expect 6ft 4” and 3” heels) but nothing negative and quite a few compliment, one women’s liked my floral backseamed stockings that she thought were tights, so I showed her where to get them from on Amazon. One lady whose husband die last year was very friendly and we had a few drinks. Another older lady at the next table in the restaurant kept asking about my wife and on her finally morning said that she wished she had gotten to know me better and that it was a brave thing I was doing being myself.

People in the hotel have seen me in in various dress modes, main one being ladies jeans, cami, ankle boots with 2” Cuban heels, earrings, bracelet, mascara and lipstick with a Mans shirt with one button done up. Full black cocktail dress, wig and heels, same dress and heels no wig just my hair., Skirt and blouse with and without wig. Leather miniskirt and wig. I dress for breakfast and dinner and in the bar where they have evening bingo and entertainmen. Comedians have done some tranny jokes but nothing horrible and not directed at me as they had not seen me at that time.

Dress visiting the hospital has been ladies jeans, camisole or vest, ankle boots and shirt. All the nursing staff have been really accepting and lovely. The very first thing my wife asked me when she woke and could talk was “have you had a sex change?”

Wife has has had a bad night with xrays and now CT Scan this morning, just been real sick whilst surgon was with her so he was able to deal with it. Now have to wait she may need further operation but won’t know till tomorrow.

Sorry this was not all about dressing but a worrying time No the less. Please delete if not what you want here.
