For the first time, yes Doctor Rumer did it in office. After that, well, the power is yours.

Sort of like training wheels on your first bicycle.  You'll be wobbly at first but then it becomes natural.

Yeah, I'm thinking it'll be less uncomfortable as the swelling goes down. That can happen any minute now. Any minute...

 

Hugs!

Well your profile pic still shows you smiling.  How bad can it be?  LOL

Just Kidding .  I'm sure you are a lot tougher then I will be during that.  

Ouch.

Swelling up for no good reason is apparently one of my super powers. I kind of expected it after I had my eyebrows done. The swelling really freaked out my tattoo artist.

 

I'm hoping the downstairs remodel heals as nicely. Right now it looks more like somebody dropped a roast beef sandwich.

Maybe you should change your thread title to "Jackie goes for lay down comedy routine, knocks it out of the park"?

On a more serious note though, if you're at all like me, the humor is to disguise the discomfort. I hope you heal quickly and can get back to your regular routines.

Got me. Humor is how I deal with stress. Surprisingly comfortable here in the lounge though. I think I'm getting the hang of how to sit. I hope so anyway. There's a lot more sitting before I'm home.

Jackie, glad all is going well with the exception of the swelling you’re having.  One of my lady friends just had her revision revised again because after her swelling went down, she had trouble with the direction of her urinary stream.  Have you had any issues with regards to this?

 

My Best,

Susan R?

It does tend to be a little "messy"looking for a bit.  I couldn't look for a week (weak stomach)!

Right now it goes basically everywhere and makes a hissing noise like a nest of snakes. I'm still very, very swollen though.

I'm going to dilate at noon then take a nap in my own bed. That's as about as close to heaven as I can imagine right now.

I hope you are resting peacefully. It sounds like you are making some progress in your recovery.

Jackie C,  when you say things like this I just bust out laughing. I hope I don't think about what you said and start laughing in the operating theater before I am put under.  When I went in for my FFS I was very teary-eyed until I was put under.

I know, right? Her description of undergoing surgery (of all things!) has been one of the most entertaining reads in my life! She's the best anti-depressant I've ever taken!

 

Side effects may include uncontrollable outbursts of laughter, coffee-covered keyboards, and puzzled onlookers. Ask your doctor if Jackie C. is right for you!

Milestone last night: I slept on my SIDE! You have no idea how wonderful that was. As a bonus, I also didn't wake myself with my own snoring. That happened a LOT on the train.

 

The night sweats are somewhere around "Monsoon" levels. I'm a little surprised I didn't float out of bed. Four more days until I can start my precious HRT again.

 

The cats are remarkably curious about dilation, and want to help. Fortunately, the latch on the door works. I'm having enough trouble keeping my schedule thank you very much.

 

Hugs!

So glad to hear things are going forward at a good pace Jackie!  

Again you make me giggle over the cats and their willingness to help.  You slay me some days.

Thank you I needed a good laugh as this day is not a good one for me.

I thought you were getting pampered today! With a glamour shoot! That sounds awesome! Especially to someone is dreading going downstairs to move the laundry into the dryer. The basement steps are HARD.

That's later. 

I'm at work by myself pining over my failing marriage and trying to stay focused.

@Jackie C. I'm a side sleeper and I was told to put a pillow between my legs for support for at least a few weeks.  Concerning the night sweats, it could be the result of you going back on estrogen after being off for surgery.  My doctor cleared me one week afterwards.  I went back to full dose and really had trouble so I cut back to half for a couple weeks  (I use patches) which saved me.  

 

Hugs, Jani

Hey @Jani! I'm not back on my precious, precious E again until Tuesday. My internal thermometer has been on a rampage since about two weeks before surgery and it only got worse afterwards. I've been bouncing back and forth from "Dear goddess, it's hot!" and "When did it get so cold? What can we light on fire?" with not a lot in between. The night sweats have been prodigious. The pillow is a good idea though. It should take some pressure off my nethers. Between your thighs, knees or calves? I'm guessing thighs. That seems to be where the most swelling is.

 

@ShawnaLeigh, your marriage is completely out of your hands. All you can do is be the best wife you can be and hope she changes her mind. My wife has trouble with this too. Worrying over things where you can't affect the outcome doesn't help anyone. Instead, look forward to the pampering a little? I would LOVE to be able to take advantage of something like that. In a couple months. When I can move right again.

And maybe get some work done. It sounds like you've got a pretty cool place of business, it would be a shame if they had to delete you for something as silly as not doing your job.

 

In the meantime, pampering, upcoming orchi, hot lesbian doctor... honestly, that sounds like the lead in for some niche porn.

 

Hugs!

In this I have no worries.  I have completed 8 hours of work orders in 5 hours.  I take a break or two throughout the day.  LOL

Plus I work alone so there is no one here to watch over me.  LOL

OMG You really got me on that one.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
