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.

So sorry, @Elizabeth StarThat's so sad. My prayers are with you and Alison.

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.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.
