Auroras's GCS Surgery

In general with ANY surgery, if you feel like things aren't right- even a little, call the Dr.  They are use to it, you aren't being a bother or high maintenance.  They would rather catch a problem early than late.  I have no experience with this situation (yet) but from my nursing experience I can tell you that you generally know your body and if if you are worried, it's worth the call.  If for no other reason than peace of mind.

I can tell you that I have called my doctor and I love calling my doctor and asking questions when something is not right.  It's how I found out about the needle pain I am having and it is normal as the nerves are coming back to life.  

 

I do NOT listen to doctor Facebook.  I listen to my doctor and nurses and let them know and let them tell me what to do as they are the professional and know what they are doing.

 

So I always love talking to my doctor.  I learned that from my Cancer days with call the doctor and let them know and decide.

After talking to Dr. DeLeon on my problem with on I have been having to slide in and out on the purple dilator.  She advised me for right now till I go see her on Monday to try one time a day using the blue dilator intermittent to the purple 2 times a day to see how it goes and feels.

 

Today for my afternoon dilation, I tried the blue one.  For the first time on the size up it was awkward trying to get one size up to go in.  But was able to slide the whole thing in for the first time and it went in all the way to the 5th dot.  

 

So hopefully that for me and will know more Monday that it was just a matter that the canel wanted to close up faster on why the purple one I was having to do in and out to slide it in.  Hope the blue allows me to have it easier.

 

Following Doctors orders and even with first time on blue it was not that bad

So this is going to be a little on the fetish side.  But yesterday I tried on one of my dance leotards to see how I look and feel wearing my dance leotard now that I have my correct part.  When I tried it on, it felt so amazing to be able to wear one of my dance leotards without having to worry about hiding myself or tucking.  I looked just like a natural cis woman and just feel in love with myself.  I could not believe how i love my leotards now that I have my correct part

No, I completely feel this. I LOVE wearing my leggings to the gym. They're wicked tight and show off everything I DON'T have. Love them and they make me feel pretty.

 

Hugs!

Saw Dr. DeLeon today and she took a look and said that I am healing nicely.  She likes how the dilation with the canal looks.  Everything is looking good.  We went back over my problem I had over the weekend with having to finense the purple dilator in with pull back a little and then push in just to get it to go in.  She was correct, when the wound closed up more it did start to constrict the canal.  So the purple dilator in morning, blue in afternoon and purple in evening is working out.  She said that if I feel comfortable on staying with that to go ahead and stay with that combination.  She reminded me that this is not a race with dilation and to go at my comfort level.  If I want to stay at the purple, then I can stay at the purple.  If I want to go all the way up to the orange then I can go up to the orange.  She said that this is at my comfort level and what is alright with me and does not inflict pain.  So for right now, the purple, blue, purple that I have been doing is fine and I am not in pain.  So I am leaving it as is.

 

Everything is looking real good and feeling good and I am slowly getting back to my old self.

You don't want to get back to your old self you want to enjoy your true new self. Congratulations on your progress I still am envious but I couldn't be envious of a more beautiful young lady.

So I have to say that the one thing I miss is being able to stand and pee.  guys have it so easy in that area.  But I do love my vigina and feel so much better.

actually I'm looking forward to sitting and peeing.

Heavens, I think I’ve sat to pee for as long as I can remember. So it wasn’t a change for me! Glad you’re doing well.

I mostly sit, but admittedly there are times when stand-peeing is convenient, like in the woods etc.

Hi Aurora,

 

I am not far behind you. I had my surgery two weeks ago. Although this is an upgrade for both of us, there are times it won't be as convenient. They make female urinals for when public bathrooms are too nasty, or if you are out in the wilderness. I have thought of buying one for when I am traveling. Google it.

Maybe on the trail, but I prefer being "hands free." It's also neater.

 

Hugs!

I dont mind sitting and peeing and it's no problem for me.  But what made me want to stand and pee but could not is when I was out at a park and I needed to pee and so I used one of those park restrooms and those are dirty and nasty.  I was afraid to sit and wanted to stand but could not, so I quickly learned the hover method and just hovered over the toilet and pee that way.

Each day on recovering is getting better and better.  I have energy and strength.  I am feeling good.  I am also listening to my body as well.  What I have noticed is that when I need to bend or crouch is when I feel uncomfortable due to my pelvis being swollen.  I can still bend and crouch, but it takes me a little longer than normal so that way I can stay comfortable.  Otherwise, I am doing pretty good and relaxing

@Auroraand @Confused1 it's good to read that you're both doing well after surgery. While I was away, you both were on my mind and in my prayers.

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
