Well I do have a private office. I would have to ask for curtains. My bigger concern is the clean up after.

Wow, those are long dilation sessions.  Maybe you could do before work, after work and at bedtime.  That's roughly 8 hour intervals.

Its likely what I will do, but it really doesn't break down that easy. I'll check with my surgeon next week. To do it all around work, I need to dialate fron 5::30-6:30 am, 6-7 pm, and 10-11 pm. Really only 3 hrs between session 2 and 3.

 

Oh and here's a Pro Tip (from my sage 4 days of dialation) invest in one of those hand held adjustable shower heads. It make cleaning the extra lubricant off/ so much easier.

Oh one more thing to pick up for after, something my surgeon didn't mention upfront and I never heard anyone else mention. Get plenty of sanitary pads to save your panties from the lube or whatever else is coming out down there. My dr said it will stop eventually (like after a month). Just something I had never thought about needing.

I picked up some of those, along with a case of lube, a diaper blanket, body wipes, wet wipes, and some DVD's I can watch on my PC. I have a feeling I won't be in a gaming mood.

Another item that will help immensely is a couple of BIG bottles of Hydrogen Peroxide to wash your COTTON briefs that you buy in a size bigger than you normally wear.  You do NOT want to wear your old tummy control super spandex underpants for several months.  The hydrogen peroxide gets out discharge stains from your pants that will seep around the sanitary pads, and leaks through onto your nice new stretch jeans which also clean up well with the H2O2.

See I found the donut they gave me more uncomfortable. Sitting has not bothered me.

I didn't find it terribly comfortable but better than none.  I draped a fleece blanket over it and improved it measurably.  I'm glad your experience is better.

I wonder if the slower recovery pace my dr in Thailand uses has anything to do with things. Not released from the clinic until day 4, bandages and packing removed day 7, catheter removed day 12.

on a related note I can now use the potty likes big girl.

I had my follow up appointment with Dr. Chettawut this morning. He is happy with the results of both the augmentation and the SRS. (If anyone sees pic on his site of breasts with a Santa Claus on one, that's me.

I'm starting to think that maybe I do have superhuman healing. They barely let me walk by myself. The were shocked I didn't bring the donut pillow, and that I hadn't taken any pain pills.at least I know it's not that the goofe, because I definitely felt the stitches being renoved.

      I had that going on with my last two partners who were 20 years older than me.  One of them looked older for her age as well.  I remember a couple times being in the grocery store a decade ago and having people ask "can I help you ladies with something?" and then I'd turn around with my red beard.  Well before I started transitioning, but my partner knew I was trans back then.   I struggle with this as well.  My music and political career can have a masculine edge to it that I don't like.  It's been really frustrating lately.  I don't like pushing myself on others or telling people what to do.  I've been running a website for 25 years and have virtually never tried to promote it or even look at any analytics.  I don't want to push it on anyone.  I put what I have on it and make it publicly available.  It's part of my production process.  It keeps me sane and if someone else can find it useful, then I'm happy to share.

      I'm curious, but then if I am true to myself, I have a hard time being in crowds.  I love hearing great music, but being in an audience is such a turnoff for me that I don't go to concerts or bars.  I'm just very much a producer.  I actually like doing the dishes more than going to concerts because it's an active thing.

      My therapist is trying a new tact. I've named my self protection self that ssays not eating or too much exercise because when I starting because oftrauma my protective self started and also at the time the name Shay came to me and is now part of my name.  It's not like having a split personality, just my primative self protection who is always there to help me. My therapist has Shay, me and him working as a team to assure her that I am safe and to start changing her role in my life so I protect me by eating right and exercising to maintain a heathy body. It is helping a little but we just started this a few weeks ago.

      Good morning, everyone!!   Yesterday was lawn mower battery day. I've been nursing the battery on my Zero Turn mower for two weeks. It gave up the ghost when I stopped to refuel yesterday so I had to run over to the local shop to get a new one. And forgot my wallet so I had to drive home and back again.   Then, I was using the garden tractor with the bagger to pick up the clippings. I cut about 7 acres so it took me awhile. When I was done, I went to refuel it and, of course, it wouldn't start when I'd finished putting in the gas. I'm hoping it was just some corrosion on the cables - cleaned them up, gave it a quick charge and it started right up. We'll see if it will hold a charge now or turn out like the Zero Turn.   House cleaning day today. And then I'm going to just relax outside for a bit and enjoy one more warm day before our temps drop and rain comes in for the weekend.   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Striking your head against the wall, you can lose 150 calories an hour. Blue color attracts mosquitoes in two times more than any other. Most toilet paper sold for home use in France is pink. In 2014, a missing woman on a vacation in Iceland was found when it was discovered that she was in the search party looking for herself. In 2005, Mark Zuckerberg unsuccessfully tried to sell Facebook for $75 million. Back then it was called TheFacebook. Strawberries can also be white or yellow, and some can even taste like pineapples! The Boston Marathon didn’t allow female runners until 1972. Banks have therapists known as ‘wealth psychologist’ who help ultra-rich clients, who are unable to mentally cope with their immense wealth.

      I attend a medical day-centre in Texas for needed medical services. It's religious oriented, so not gender fluid friendly. I of course dress 100% in female attire yet androgynous to keep both "them happy", and I really don't mind.    I of course am imposed rules that no other participant is bound by. The examples are the allowed size of my backpack, or how many visits per day I can see my Representative payee.  The gender neutral restroom use was a compromise that all off us have agreed to.  Not being able to wear tanks tops or shorts that aren't "Bermuda length" are other examples of where I am restricted more than any other participant. "Bra talk" is strictly forbidden, even though their doctor and occupational therapist were the ones that told me I needed support due to neck pain.    I found myself being reprimanded by staff three times yesterday for very petty details, and they have constantly pushed for me to remove myself from the program voluntarily. I am of course someone not welcomed in the program, but federal discrimination laws prevent them from removing me. They instead are just making life miserable with the hopes that I will leave on my own.
