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 =)!

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.

      This whole Cass Review thing is breaking my heart. I keep imagining how it must be to be a trans kid in the UK atm. I am halfway through reading the review so that I can effectively refute it if and when people cite it here in Australia.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.

      CAT FACTS A cat's jaw cannot move sideways. The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat   A house cat’s genome is 95.6 percent tiger, and they share many behaviors with their jungle ancestors, says Layla Morgan Wilde, a cat behavior expert and the founder of Cat Wisdom 101. These behaviors include scent marking by scratching, prey play, prey stalking, pouncing, chinning, and urine marking. Cats are believed to be the only mammals who don’t taste sweetness. Cats are nearsighted, but their peripheral vision and night vision are much better than that of humans. Cats are supposed to have 18 toes (five toes on each front paw; four toes on each back paw). Cats can jump up to six times their length. Cats’ claws all curve downward, which means that they can’t climb down trees head-first. Instead, they have to back down the trunk. Cats’ collarbones don’t connect to their other bones, as these bones are buried in their shoulder muscles. Cats have 230 bones, while humans only have 206. Cats have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents on the air, which is why your cat stares at you with her mouth open from time to time. Cats have whiskers on the backs of their front legs, as well. Cats have nearly twice the amount of neurons in their cerebral cortex as dogs. Cats have the largest eyes relative to their head size of any mammal. Cats make very little noise when they walk around. The thick, soft pads on their paws allow them to sneak up on their prey — or you! Cats’ rough tongues can lick a bone clean of any shred of meat. Cats use their long tails to balance themselves when they’re jumping or walking along narrow ledges. Cats use their whiskers to “feel” the world around them in an effort to determine which small spaces they can fit into. A cat’s whiskers are generally about the same width as its body. (This is why you should never, EVER cut their whiskers.) Cats walk like camels and giraffes: They move both of their right feet first, then move both of their left feet. No other animals walk this way. Male cats are more likely to be left-pawed, while female cats are more likely to be right-pawed. Though cats can notice the fast movements of their prey, it often seems to them that slow-moving objects are actually stagnant. Some cats are ambidextrous, but 40 percent are either left- or right-pawed. Some cats can swim. There are cats who have more than 18 toes. These extra-digit felines are referred to as being “polydactyl.”

      Good morning,   I over slept yesterday was a couple minutes late clocking in.  But no breakfast or coffee.  Got caught up but it was go go go all morning.  I had to ask for a refresher on how I was to enter something but once I got a quick answer it came back to me.    @KymmieL sorry Ford didn’t work out.  We are always looking for good reliable people, I could get you a job here but the commute would be rough.  Today I have three audits to get done, plus other things during my shift on top of the regular things.  Since I am opening that puts me in the drivers seat.  The Asst Mgr comes in part way throuh my shift but she will have to handle customers while I do the work she would be doing if she opened. Tail wagging the dog.  Guess she’s getting punished for not following the Mgr’s requests.  They do tend to butt heads a lot.     Butting heads with people is a thing the Asst is known for.   @awkward-yet-sweet do you think just maybe this new graphics request was in the offing?  And why you were asked to go to work with your husband?  Obviously, he cares about you a lot and is trying to do things to help you.   speaking of meeting people @Adrianna Danielle we have a youngish customer who comes in frequently, I’d like to approach her but I’m just not certain yet.  She still dresses male but has long hair and early chest development.  My approach, if I ever decided I should would just be supportive but I really can’t be sure that is what is going on here or what and I would not want to make a big blunder if that’s not what he is doing.  A male with early teen boobs doesn’t want to be noticed.   well, I can’t be late again, I’ve got to leave now.  See you again later for afternoon tea and crumpets or scones. Mmm scones!   lol   Willow
