Been a little preoccupied with things. But just wanted to let you now I am doing well though not moving as much as I would like. The packing, drains and such are coming out on Tuesday afternoon!!! I really can't wait to get the catheter out.

It must be frustrating dear but you'll heal quickly.  Try to rest.  It helps.  

Thanks for the update. 

 

Hugs,

Congratulations Marcie on making it to the other side!  You only have to endure the catheter for another few days and it will all fade to memory.  Then the real healing and life begins anew.  I'm glad to hear you're doing fine.

Hang in there.  Like others said, it will get better.  And foley catheters are the worst!  Ugh  LOL

Yes they have gotten much better! I think the swelling has gone down about 80%. Nice not having to drive anywhere!! Still not sitting straight up yet, (lounging is more comfy).

Glad to hear the swelling is subsiding, it does get better.

Welcome to your summer VV (vagina vacation), lounging about,

Hugs and healing

I  go back to work next Friday, pretty much most of the pain is gone. There are occasional flare ups though, usually after doing so. Things are going well!

      Good afternoon, and welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums.   As I'm sure you noticed while looking through the forums. You're not alone in your feelings.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Marriage complicates things.  We think we know someone… but then we don't. My ex supports me, but we're certainly not married.  She actually took me out for dinner a couple days ago. But if I said I didn't miss her it would be a lie.  That part is still hard. The hard truth is I had to get away from her, to have the freedom to find myself. Maybe it won't be that way for y'all.

      Kymmie, it's hard to think of her as an ally when she's still re-posting anti-trans information. On the flip side my wife is supportive of everyone else in the LGBTQIA community, and reluctantly supporting me.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      OMG @Lorelei! I hope you have some time today to do something kind for yourself! That sounds so stressful.    -Timi

      So nice to read your introduction, @Ladypcnj. Welcome!   -Timi

      I'm sorry you and so many others in the military, were assaulted and bullied, just for being who you are. I'm glad that you've seen your old therapist and seem to be better since 2001.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Sally Stone This is a great thread and resonates with me as well. Please keep it going!   +1 on leg hair. Mine basically stopped growing on its own in my early 30s (cause unknown), but I prefer the look. Was never comfortable with body hair.

      One FB post from an old friend who lives 250 miles away and has no idea of any of this, and a news article this morning about someone with multiple mental problems  assert that transgender people are controlled by demons.   Me not happy.  Can't reason with some people.

      Just really started reading this thread today and it is fascinating. Thank you for sharing @Sally Stone... I started shaving my legs (and chest and arms) about eight years ago when I was living apart from my wife. I decided then that there was no going back - I just love smooth skin and really hate hate hate body hair (I have quite a bit -- "Hey, nice sweater" people would say when I took my shirt OFF).   My wife is not thrilled but I think in time it just fades into the background and folks don't give it a second thought after the novelty of noticing it. And if they do harp on it, it's like why does it matter so much to you what my legs look like?  I am kind of here too -- I want to express myself more and more outwardly in a feminine way. But I don't hate everything about being a guy. I would probably go 100 percent female dress if society were more accepting of that (and family)...

      I was stuck behind a truck for like 6 miles doing 30 in a 45mph zone and when I got the opportunity to pass it I took it. Sped up and passed it and then noticed the flashing lights behind me… I just got my first tickets (other than parking tickets) in the 26 years that I have been driving. The speed limit changed in that area and it was a long downhill grade so apparently I was going 60 in a 40 zone. I was so nervous that I was shaking. Speeding and no registration (it is fully registered and insured but I couldn’t find the registration card). It was still affirming though in that I used my license showing my name to be Lorelei and got “maam’ed” by the cop. He was very professional and told me to plead not guilty and that he would reduce the charges if I came to court. Hopefully he will reduce the ticket to something that doesn’t give points. He told me that I should have given him my PBA card (a friend of mine’s husband is a cop had given it to me) with my license, not after the ticket is already written. The registration ticket will go away once I provide proof that it is registered.  I already ordered the replacement registration from NYS DMV online. Unfortunately the registration is still registered to my deadname of Rory so I will have to bring that up to the judge unless I can get to DMV first to change it first. Overall, this morning sucked.
