Doctors visit to discuss an orchiectomy


Ellora

Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m very excited for this upcoming Doctors appointment to talk about an Orchiectomy!! My Primary is totally down for this procedure, and they can do it at the same Doctors office. The visit is a formality, and if she is still ok with m having one, I’m going to try and schedule the Orchiectomy ASAP. Other than frozen peas and soft cushions, I would appreciate any words of advice and encouragement once I have the Orchiectomy. 

Thank you! ?

You will be limited in what you are allowed to lift.  I remember being a bit upset as a gallon of milk was too heavy!  This being said it's good to get shopping done ahead of time.  You will do fine.  I can't say i wasn't uncomfortable after surgery but it was only for a relative short period.  As an addict i used only a very small amount of pain killer and was able to quickly handle the discomfort.  Just don't expect to run any marathons too soon.

I'm sure i did some posting shortly afterwards as have others here at Trans Pulse.  Perhaps you might want to check back in our old posts for more posts.

 

Hugs,

Yay!! I'm happy for you. I had mine back in February. Like Charlie, I had a bit of pain the first couple of days. And had to be careful when moving about for a few more. I also couldn't lift anything with any kind of weight to it. Things have healed up nicely since then and I'm much more comfortable with my body these days, without that mass of crap in my panties. Life now is pretty good. I hope the time passes quickly for you. And your healing is just as fast.

Hi! Thank you! And congratulations to you! I’m glad it went well for you. When did the pain stop, and when did you feel comfortable to walk around? I can’t wait until I can get those yucky things off of me. I have a drawer full of panties, and an Amazon list full waiting for me, ?

I was able to walk the same day. It was a same day, in and out, kind of surgery. They tell you no heavy lifting. They don't tell you about all muscle weight puppies, pulling on a leash. I set my healing back by trying to walk my puppy. I didn't do that again. Just make sure you follow the after surgery care instructions and you should heal up within a few days. There would still be some soreness, but the major pain should be gone.

 

And I was wrong about having mine in Feb. That was an abscess removal, in the same area. My Orchie was in November. And yes, panties fit MUCH better now.

      It doesn't just seem that it is, it actually is. aging trans people are left out of nearly 90% of all the help said to be available to transgender people.   Here in Texas, there are not many, if any actually created for aging transgender people. Planned Parenthood pretty much has only been active for trans youth, primarily, as of late. I can't even find legal help for discrimination cases that would help by allowing me to show that it is trans care related. By the way, I don't qualify for medicare as I am turning 55 this year. I also can't get Medicaid either.    Trans youths are not the only ones needing help. Aging trans need just as much help, BUT, are pushed aside as though we as older transgender people, do not matter. I agree the youth are our future, but until the youth decides to listen to what is being taught to them instead of thinking they know everything, the youth of the nation will be our demise.

      Wednesday CNA was rather agreeable today (unusual for her). She basically just stated, "you really need to read your bible." I answered, "yes thank you, I do!"   She wanted to tighten my bra bands and I told her I don't like them too tight.  She said, "oh yeah, yours are just fat and not milk ducts so they aren't heavy."   That started into a conversation about how a bra works, and that the band/gore support the majority of the weight. The bands just helps keep things aligned.    Also, my mammograms say, "scattered fibroglandular tissue" just like a third of women out there. They most definitely have milk glands.

      I have to wonder if interstate commerce laws might be violated here.    Hugs,   Charlize

      This tread is based on the titling of a bill.  That is what the judges ruling spoke to.  Please keep on topic.  If one wishes to write about rest room funding one can start a topic.      Pity the title did not also mention restricting the rights of the parents who support their children.  Perhaps that is only important if a child tries to speak to a teacher about gender issues.  Then, suddenly, parental rights become important.   Hugs,   Charlize

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.
