Funny how the itching persisted.

First, Thanks you!! I had itching, but for me that was from the healing, hair from growing back, and moisture from the surgery, Baby powder worked wonders for me. 

Oh the new freedom is a dream come true. It helps me everyday. Thanks, I still have to wait a month for my 6 month. I’m going to check with my doctor to see if I can get it a week before my appointment, so it will be Ready to go over during the Appointment.

Ellora,

You are a great saleswoman for orchie.  You've made me want to get one, and I'm not even on lady meds yet.

And I have been told keeping all that stuff makes the surgery easier. (Think that depends on the surgeon) 

Thank you!! Everyone that I have spoken to says that the full bottom surgery is easier if the Orchie has already been done. One big thing is the healing is faster if it’s been done already. I just had to tell my surgeon that I planned on having the rest of my bottom surgery done on a later date, so they leave enough skin for the lady area. Maybe you should get a second opinion? Plus no more T ! Which means no more spiro, no T to interfere with the E and progesterone! Knowing those things are gone is the best.

Thanks again!

Awww, thanks! Seriously tho! You should look into getting one, at least continue to do the research if you’re planning to do the Lady Meds. Spiro is bad for the body, so having it done would help in so many ways. It’s out patient surgery, and I went home after I could walk to the bathroom and urinated, which I did as soon as I woke up after I woke up in recovery. Allow yourself a couple of days relaxing and frozen peas. I actually drove my car about 24-48hrs later. No heavy lifting for several weeks.

There are so many benefits!

Yeah my surgeon told me to hold off if I could. The extra skin staying stretched makes the creation of the “parts” easier. Less chance of needing to get tissue from somewhere else. I want my full 7” and labia with no issues. I think if it was close to the surgery and I could have my gcs surgeon do the procedure I’d think of it, but not going to Az for an orchie. Lol.

Idk how it would mean longer healing because the orchie is such an easy surgery, but maybe. Idk. I think it’s the first step in the gcs surgery actually as well.

Okay so apparently they can do an orchiectomy from above too!! This leaves no scar tissue below allowing all of that tissue to be used for future surgeries. I may be making calls soon!! 

Ellora thanks for posting this today. You are now possibly the vehicle that got me to this stop! ?

Yay! Very Happy to help you with your Journey! 

I dont know how much of the tissue is scarred, but I dont think its too much. They pretty much left enough/ a lot for them to work with in the future, But I am glad that you received info that will help what you want =)!

Today was my 6 month visit! Very Happy , great visit! My Doctor Upped my Estradiol from xmg to xmg!! This makes me veeeery happy! In two months i will do another E test, and hopefully I can get good test results. Im not looking for anything drastic, just improvement. Im am happy about the changes physically and mentally, so it will be good news anyway im sure.

Great news Ellora!  Happy to hear things are heading in a good direction. 

I had forgotten we were going to discuss upping my lady meds, and she brought it up as a question, and if i remembered  we were talking about it. She asked me if I still wanted to up my meds, and I smiled and said YES! I am going to be happy no matter the dosage, cause im super happy Im on it period. So to double the dosage, is great! Im super interested to see how my body reacts. Plus in two months we will do another reading, so thats exciting.

      https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/several-attorneys-general-made-abusive-legal-demands-get-trans-patient-rcna147910     This is a complex issue and I'm no expert, but the actions of these GOP Attorney's General don't pass the smell test.  Their motivations and actions are highly suspect and they lack any credibility.  What else is new, right?  I guess it will all come out in the inevitable court fight.   Carolyn Marie

      I went to work with my husband today.  He asked me this morning if I wanted to go...of course I said yes.  I enjoy being with him, and getting away from the house for a little while.  He spent half the day in his office, which I think is why he asked me along.  He made a nest in the corner for me, where I can plug in my laptop and do my stuff...nobody minds me being there.     But today ended up with a strange opportunity.  I had a conversation with my husband's boss, the company owner.  They want some basic graphic design work done, so I think they might hire me to do it.  Nothing fancy, not nearly as complicated as what I've attempted to do for our county.  So I have a meeting with them on Monday, just to look at some details and see if I can do the work they want.  And especially talk about when they need it done, because I still work pretty slowly.  I don't really need or want the money, but its nice to feel like I can do something again.

      I went to WM today with the objective of buying sandals: they would be women's, but look like men's; they would be brown or black, not white.  I realized the cheapest way to go  was to go for flip-flops, which I observed were prevalent in the store. So I checked out the women's.  Flowers. White shiny straps. Nothing that could possibly be men's. The best deal was one flip flop for $3.98.  At first I thought that was a pair, then, nope.  And because I comparison shop (is there the same thing in men's?) I found the cheapest over there was $6.98 for a pair of flip flops in green that also match my women's cargo shorts that I love.  Doing the math, finding the pink tax.  Rip off.  I have found a blue tax this way, but usually they charge women more for something than they do men. I guess women tend to lose one flip flop at a time or something. Weird.  The pairs were a lot higher.   So, following my rule, but unhappy with it, I bought the green men's flip flops.  They were the cheapest.  Later wife of mine complimented how masculine I look in my matching shorts and flip-flops.  Inward groan. We have not discussed the Subject in a long time because I think she forgets it is there as soon as the conversation ends.  Or she is trying to talk me out of this.  Not sure.  We only discuss it when necessary, and how often do most couples discuss whether one spouse is one sex or the other? Outside of here, I mean.  So we very seldom talk about it and she is happier if she does not know about it. Super stealth.  I do the laundry and I shower in the shower in the wing away  from the master bed room so I have my own shower.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie
