Two years ago today I was in recovery (at this time) after having the surgery of my life.  What a week that was.

Happy Saturday!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

 

Happy Saturday, Had a nice experience out in the market, usually a bit nervous about going out fully feminine there as all very boistrous and interactive but all very lovely, referring to me with terms like madam, sweetie and darling.

Good morning, and happy 2 year anniversary! Wow, that must have been quite the week, and a couple after that. I’m at a little over a week after having my Orchie, and this is my second day without “soreness.” Or course I’ve been extra cautious, so that plays into it, but I’m able to start enjoying the feeling of not having things in my way, ?

ps: If you have a post on your recovery, I would love to read about it.

Congrats on your week post Orchie!  How are you feeling other the soreness going away?

Ellora remember to behave yourself.  I had some difficulty in that regards because of the demands of the farm.  Just try to take it easy and soon it will be history.  After a bit the only difficulty i had was the itching caused by healing.  Not good to be in public when there are pubic itches.:D

Sorry i looked back at the archives but they don't extend back to when i had surgery.

 

Hugs,

Oh I have been extra careful, and it's not easy when the twins always want me to pick them up or they want to do flying leaps into me, lol. They have been very good during this whole time. 

I dont think i will have too many itching issues, but the athletic supporter and extra padding can get difficult at times. 

No worries, thanks for checking!

Hope that your recovery continues to go smoothly, Ellora!

I had a busy, but fun day today. Tomorrow, I will forgo most of the coffee because I plan on resting (my disability is being annoying and causing me more pain than usual). I need a day of relaxation before starting the week all over again Monday. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Thank you! Im feeling great! Friday was the first day I didnt feel any type of soreness. Ive been extra cautious, so I think that has helped tremendously.

Good Morning! June gloom over here in the San Diego Bay area. The tea is about right, just finished my PB&J taco, and my Lady meds =). I hope everyone else has a great morning and a fabulous day!

(For those of you that do not know what "June Gloom" is, it is what comes after "May Gray." The gloom and the gray are the morning clouds that hang out at the coastline predominantly in the months of May and June. In the afternoon the clouds are pushed back and loom over the ocean, until night time, the clouds greet the sunset and wait along the coastline all over again.)

Its been gloomy here in the Northeast today.  A cup of tea is seeping now!  What kind of biscuit should I have with it?   Tomorrow will be sunny again!

Depending on the tea, I would have a better idea of the proper biscuit ?

The sun came out for my friend in the east county, as it usually does, but not at the coast at the Del Mar Fair. That wasn’t so bad, until a bit later after the breeze kicked in and we didn’t have jackets ready. We all had a great time tho. Tomorrow will probably be cloudy on the coast again ?

Given the hour of the day it was Chamomile tea.  I avoid caffeine in the afternoon and evening now.  I had a few sugar wafers as the package was open.  I ended up sleeping well.

Sure, Jani. the package was open so you had to have some. LOL. Got woke up from a dead sleep at about 1 am with a hell of a heavy rain. Hitting the house like hail. may have been but didn't see any.  First day off since the 4th. Had to play real manager the last 4 days since the store manager had to play Army. A couple times I was pulling my hair out. but made it through. Realized some things I would change if it were my store.

 

Then today is the day I head to get my hair styled. Being I am still early in my transition not sure how I will get it done. May leave it up to the stylist. He is a retired drag queen and has experience with transgender people.

Good evening from here, sipping coffee after dinner, tastes great, and glad to be home after 13 days on the road down and up the west coast. Here is a pic I took from across the marina in SD and hotel complex I stayed at in the background...

Beautiful photo. In a couple of weeks, it should be sunny like that once the June gloom is gone.

 I must admit I have not had any coffee for quite some time, not that that has anything to do with the lack of my posting here. I suppose life has just been super busy that way, not really much of an excuse though. I decided I must do something to whiten my teeth so I stopped drinking coffee, at least for now, and I’m halfway through my box of crest white strips and quite liking the results ...  anyway, the weather has been absolutely crazy here, one day it’s cold the next day it’s hot, followed by a day that starts cold gets hot and finishes cold !  My banged up bad leg hates changes in the weather so it’s been brutal, however I absolutely refuse to take pain meds even though I probably should.

It’s been a bit over two weeks since top surgery, and I was pleasantly surprised to have quite literally no pain just some persistent soreness that went away after the first week. I truly wish the surgeon had told me that it would take a couple  months for the implants to settle down below the lowest part of the pectoral muscle, and that the pectoral muscle needed to relax and stretch and pretty much give up to allow the implant to rest properly where it belongs without assistance. I’ve gotten used to my routine of the elastic strap, or as I call it my “seatbelt”, that holds the girls down day and night, but I’ll be happy when gravity is all I need ?

 Hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy a cup of coffee as soon as I’m not paranoid about staining my teeth, I probably shouldn’t be quite so neurotic and just enjoy the caffeinated treat just as I have been since I was two years old, growing up in a Danish bloodline simply means you live on coffee, I actually think it might be  in my blood !

 I did at the very least enjoy this pastry called a Napoleon, it’s quite messy as it has layers of soft gooey stuff in between layers of crispy flaky pastry, messy or not, it was so good I wanted to lick the spilled  powdered sugar off the table, I did however refrain from such bad behavior and maintained My lady like composure..

Hugs to all,

Jackie

That is a lovely and inviting picture Jackie.  

i'll see the dental hygienist the week after next.  I always get a comment about coffee and tea.  Oh well, for coffee beauty must step back.  That napoleon on the other hand is something i would avoid.........i know one would lead to more and the sugar on the table wouldn't stand a chance.

 

Hugs,

That pastry looks delicious!

Well, this morning has been great! I just received a scholarship that I didn't know that I had gotten. It came when my bank account is at its lowest, which is better. ??

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday
    • MaeBe
      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.
