The days may seem to drag but its just because you're immobile.  Your body is doing its best to heal so you can get back to living life to its fullest.  Rest well.

 

Hugs, Jani

Thank you, Mike. It helps to get post my complaints and get some i encouragement. Hard now, but I’m sure I’ll feel happy in the long term. Thanks.

I felt pretty happy when I could sit comfortably again. ? You miss the little things.

 

For me that was about four weeks if I'm remembering correctly. In the meantime, try to enjoy your princess status. ?

 

Feel better soon sweetie!

 

 

Hugs!

Thank you, Jani! And Kay-san, too. At times like this, these little comments mean so much! I can’t begin to say how much! Progress is slow but steady. Thank you!

 Thanks! I felt more like a princess before this started! So looking forward to a shower, but not ready for that yet apparently. Soon!

That is SO true. I never wanted a shower more in my LIFE than after a week of bedrest. I felt SO gross.

 

The first thing I did when I got back to the hotel after the bandages came off, the catheter was out and the packing came out was shower. It felt so very, very good.

 

Still, nurses bring you things. It's nice to be waited on sometimes.

 

Hugs!

I remember being afraid of taking a shower so not to hurt the new bits, but the desire over rode the fear.  It felt so good.  Progress may seem slow but your body is working overtime!  Keep smiling.

 

Hugs, Jani

Update and thanks to everyone who sent encouragement and support. I’m doing much, much better. Will probably be another week in the hospital, but most of the tubes coming out of my body have been removed. I still have the catheter in and am still worried about eating. I’m now on a real simple (mostly liquid) diet and still worried about my colon. I guess that’s the biggest difference with the surgery: you have a section of colon removed and then stitched up again, so that’s basically another major surgery on top of the vaginoplasty.

 

Earlier this week, I had many tears and a few moments of panic, but the worst, I feel, is over. Thank you again. The encouragement meant so much!

I'm glad you're feeling better and shedding tubes. Tubes are no fun. May you continue to heal swiftly and well!

 

Hugs!

Thanks, girls! I just got home from the hospital today. More like a smashed up cactus than roses, but we’re getting there! This week’s goal is to become friends with my catheter—my first boyfriend! Well, not really my first, but he’ll be in me all week, and I’m fighting the urge of just yanking him out. I go back to the hospital in a week to have him removed from my life permanently. I’ll have to reread that peeing thread then. Thanks again, everyone! It was nice having a place to moan when the going was tough! Kisses!

Getting rid of Mr. Catheter was glorious. Well, not the removal part, that sucked, but afterwards (and not having to navigate the world with a catheter bag) was lovely. May the days pass swiftly until you can kick him out of your life!

 

Hugs!

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Positive side of the mixed bag.

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
