I’m about to reach my limit on sleep deprivation. I’ve been struggling to fall and stay asleep the last few days. Freaking out a bit before my vaginoplasty Tuesday. I think I’m averaging 4 hrs of sleep per day since this last Tuesday. I’m going to take Valium tonight and Monday night. I’m trying not to compensate with more coffee during the day.

Good Afternoon 

 

Gee I’m such a girl.  I cried over several parts.  
 

@Bri2020 I can understand the lack of sleep I’m sure a lot of us are just like that or would’ve.  I’m sure you’ll be fine and soon you will be everything you want.

 

we were referred to as ladies and ma’amed all afternoon sure makes a girl feel good.

 

hugs

Just got home from visiting our oldest son and family. It was great seeing them, especially my grand kids. Oldest grandson is getting so big. Our granddaughter is so cute. Finally getting potty trained, she just turned 4.

 

Our new wagon got awesome mileage. only used about 2 1/8 tanks of fuel. got 43mpg on the trip there. 

 

Hugs,

So sorry about the sleep deprivation; that really sucks. Glad you have valium. And big hugs and congratulations on a successful vaginoplasty! Looking great as always 💖❤️💗!!

Don't know how I pissed off the wife but she seemed that way last night and this morning. Last night she took her bath then when I went in to change and go to bed she didn't say a word. She came to the living room. did something. then came to bed. She seemed annoyed at something. then this morning. She got up. did her thing. I used the bathroom about 1/2 hour later. She opened the door enough to get into a drawer to get her breathing meds. I said morning sweetheart.. -----crickets-------

 

Today I need to find an electrical gremlin that keeps blowing the breaker when you turn off the dinning room light. I am going to replace the switch. then go from there.

@KymmieL, that's just... UGH. You can't fix problems in your relationship with the silent treatment. You deserve better.

Good morning 

 

Another nice day here but not so much for the people in hurricane Ian’s path.  Please raise your thoughts and prayers whom ever you believe in for those who are about to get smashed by this powerful storm.  I have a friend, Rachel, who took a brief moment to tell me that she was doing everything she could to save her home and that she was getting her important things together and packed into her car so she could evacuate.  I have other friends in Florida as well but she lives in the Tampa area.

 

I know we have many friends on this forum that must also be in a bad spot in the destructive zones. Please be with all of them in your hearts as they are running out of time.

 

praying for them!

I am keeping watch on Hurricane Ian. As my mom lives north of Tampa. She is far enough inland to not get any storm surge. But I am still worried.

A true friend. I should never have doubted.

That's great Hannah, I hope you find that most of your longtime friends are accepting you for who you truly are.

That's right Lizzy, his loss and our gain.

 

Good morning everyone,

 

I've been away on vacation at a Bluegrass Festival, camping with friends and family. It went well and no one questioned my more androgynous presentation. I also played the upright bass, in a jam session at a campsite down the hill from us. I may have found another focus for may ADHD list of hobbies. Oh look! A fire truck!

 

Hugs for everyone,

Coffee or Not.

woo hoo!  I am complete!   Surgery went well. I’m in almost no pain , just some pressure pain and lots of uncomfortable gas. I haven’t need narcotics in 8 hours. I’m sure the neo V is a swollen mess and stuff but when I look down there all I can tell is there is no longer a penis or scrotum and it makes me smile!  
on the flip side my daughter had to evacuate from Ian. She’s in St. Petersburg in a low lying part so she drove up to GA to stay with a friend for a few days.

"Landfall just north of Cape Coral around 2PM EDT today, 946mb Major Hurricane. Slowly tracks NNE and just south of Deltona middle of the day Thursday 990mb and dumping a swath of over 20" of rain accumulation to this point between roughly Bradenton to Lakeland."

 

I live in Deltona. We're doing the last of our preparation today.

I am being poisoned this morning. The hospital brought me a single cup of FRENCH VANILLA flavored coffee. What an abomination!  I almost can't drink it and visiting hours don't start till 11am. I am such a coffee snob and I didn't even think about this element as far as being prepared for post surgical stay.  I'm going to have to bribe a care team member to find me real coffee in the mornings for sure.

Other than that: I am basically pain free post op day one. The only narcotics that I've had were right after surgery but since then just NSAID meds like toradol.  My biggest challenge was lots of gas and I had leftover liquids in the GI tract from bowel prep. Yes @Jackie C., I did have to do that but I missed it in the instructions. Thank the goddess the RN called the day before to make sure I did all my pre-op stuff.  So every time I passed gas, I made a mess that needed cleaning.  That issue has resolved.  A note for people who will be going through this: You will have to lay flat on your back for a few days. Right now, this is the hardest part for me.  I have back issues left over from a few prior surgeries and can't lay flat like that for long before I'm miserable.  Today is just a lay around day with nothing on the schedule except netflix and reading.

Thank you all for the love and support. This community seriously helped me to get here.

Love to you all

Bri

PS: My new favorite person is Agnes who went and brewed a pot of regular coffee at the RN station and brought me a cup while I was writing this!!!!

Fortunately, her grandson, who lives near Orlando, took her inland a couple of days ago. 

Good morning Hannah, that's good news. There are those people on the In-Law side of the family that you never give up even after a divorce. I'm glad she'll be safe.

Good morning Bri, I'm glad you found Agnes, and she took the responsibility to brew the real nectar of the morning, Coffee. :coffee:

 

My morning is starting off with a shop temperature of 42° F. I haven't reinstalled the combination propane & wood stove yet, so it's a very cool start to the day.

 

Hugs,

Good morning 

 

@Bri2020 congratulations!  Glad you aren’t needing stronger pain meds.  
 

Again I am concerned for the Floridians.  And it seems a lot of you have friends and relatives that are in the path.  Unfortunately the hurricane appears to be stronger, hitting the Florida sooner and crossing the state only to turn north along the east coast. Not too far south of me the have now issued tropical storm warnings.  I expect by late today we will also included in that.

 

I am not worried, I didn’t evacuate for a cat 3 so this is not something to worry about here.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
