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 #.

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

      Texas AG Paxton & Seattle Children's Hospital Settle Lawsuit

      By VickySGV · Posted

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state.

      What are some of the ways you are validated?

      By RaineOnYourParade · Posted

      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient.

      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.

      What do you do when you feel triggered?

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though.

      What are you wearing today?

      By missyjo · Posted

      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie

      I wish I had an answer to this.

      By Betty K · Posted

      Mia, forgive me, I should have introduced myself. Hi, I’m Bette. I work with trans youth and I have many young trans friends; the other day I was at a party with 30-40 of them. If you’re envious of young trans folks I understand; when I left that party I broke down in tears thinking of all I’d missed out on as a young person. But I was also happy for them, and if anyone were to try and take away their happiness I would fight for them with all my strength.   I don’t know you, but it seems to me you’re angry about more than just your inability to find help? I’m very sorry to hear that you are struggling, but I hope you are not blaming young trans folks for that. Imo there is a generation gap in the trans community and it needs healing, not exacerbating. We are far stronger when we are united.
