Auroras's GCS Surgery

[Bri2020]

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.

LOL - I agree to not pay attention to doctor Facebook.

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

[Heather Shay]

That's it - you are making progress - and be kind to yourself. You have made such progress and are coming along just fine.

Hugs,

Heather

Thank You.  Glad I called and talked to my doctor.  This is only temporary till Monday and will see what Dr. DeLeon wants to do when she sees it

[Kylie]

That is good to hear @Aurora. You are in great hands with Dr D! She is a fantastic Surgeon and person. Hope this weekend goes well for you, keep us updated.

[Aurora]

Not sure if it is still the high that I finally have my correct part or not, But I have been in love with seeing her and admiring her.  I have been taking lots of pictures of her and cleaning her inside and out.  I just so happy to finally have her and I am loving her.  It is just so grate to have my correct part

I'm glad for you

[Heather Shay]

@Aurora it's not her it is you and you ARE her. I get such joy hearing how happy you are. Enjoy seeing and taking care of the complete YOU.

 

[Aurora]

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

[Heather Shay]

Treasure the memory and take every bit of joy in the feeling...... I feel such joy for you... ?

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.

[Heather Shay]

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.  

[Heather Shay]

actually I'm looking forward to sitting and peeing.

[Kylie]

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. 

[Ivy]

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!

[Aurora]

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.

[Aurora]

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

[Heather Shay]

Keep relaxing you are doing fine and that is simply wonderful.

@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.
