Liz I don't know what to do or say to help you but know we're here.  I've seen some desperate situations in ICUs and people surprise you all the time with their ability to bounce back.

Day three post op. I feel like poop. The DR said this would be my worst day and then things should stop swelling any more.  Overall I feel like this wasn't as bad as I expected.  My eyes while pretty swollen aren't to the point I can't see. Pain is manageable. Kinda feels like my whole head is in a "gentle" vise.  It's getting squeezed but not brutally. Bruising that I can see is just a little on the eyes and a bunch down my neck. I think he tried to lipo that area and didn't get enough so then went to my belly pouch to get the rest. Those areas are a little sore. (and he only took a few ounces so won't even make a difference in my belly. lol. Friday I get the bandages off. I expect there will be more bruising to be seen then.

Wow. How do/can you eat? All the swelling and bandages makes your head as round as Charlie Brown. Thank you for sharing.

straw. Milkshakes, broth, smoothies soups etc.  Very difficult to even get a pill in there.

Hang in there, it will all be worth it.   I recognize the little squeeze bottle fluid drain system.  ---HUGS---

Not to make light of anyone suffering, but I thought a little humor might be nice. Found this in a Mad Magazine fan group on Facebook a few years ago. It makes me want to take a bus ride to Miami. 😀

If only it was that easy (and cheap).

 

Hey @Bri2020! It doesn't look nearly as bad as my friend's facelift. I don't see the same kind of bruising she had. I think your doctor did an excellent job and I cannot wait to see the results.

 

Hugs!

Thank you everyone. Today I had to say goodbye to my partner. She wasn’t in any pain and passed within minutes after the machines were turned off. I held her hand through to the end. Her name was Alison and I will never forget her.

Liz I am so sorry for you. I know Alison was battling a very serious medical issue and as you had mentioned without a transplant it would be terminal but it's still overwhelming. Hang in there and lean on all of us for support if you need to. We are here for you.

I am so sorry, Liz. I know that feeling, it happened with my dad when he passed. A couple minutes off the machine and was gone. At least you where able to be there with her.   She is in no pain anymore, She will be watching over you.

 

We are all here for you, Liz. If you need to talk, I will give PM you my #.

I need to find that machine. I think somebody needs to build one. I am sure it would get its usage. LOL

So sorry to hear this. I’m glad that she went peacefully though. You are in my prayers.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.
