I got a little problem.

didn't sleep well... well, to be fair I haven't slept well for about a week now. Between hot flashes, the weather changes and my hormones, I'm lucky to get 4-5 hours of good sleep a night. The point being that I know how much not being able to sleep messes you up

Oh honey do I know this feeling.  I don’t have hot flashes but went through all the other stuff when I stopped my SM HRT.  I would of been happy for 4-5 hours.

From what you said it sounds likely. I would guess that since you're not opposed to having them out it's much safer to extract them both anyways. That's my logic anyways.

 

I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain but I'm glad you're on your way to a specialist who snips them off for a living!

One was to “keep it elevated” and supported in something tight.  How the heck do you keep that elevated?!?!?

 

Gaff panty over your regular panties and a tuck. It's what I wear when I have to go out in public. It keeps the testicles immobilized up in the inguinal canal and gives you a nice, flat appearance as a bonus. No chance of the "little guy" having a look-around either. Use powder though, that's the last place you want a friction sore. I just liberally sprinkle some Gold Bond body powder in my panties and I'm good to go.

 

I know this sucks, but it looks like you're in line with your orchi. Depending on what the consultant says of course, but I've heard in cases like this it can go as quickly as, "Do you want them out Wednesday or Thursday?" Just a little good luck sprinkled in with the bad. If you get them out next week, we're recovery sisters!

 

Hugs!

Yes and it’s another women doctor.  I hoping not one with some vendetta against men/AMAB.  Seems like a revenge type job for a women.  Lol

Believe me Jackie. I have not forgotten about your impending surgery either.  I’m praying to the Goddess for you my friend.

So she starts to “examine” me and she hit a nerve or something but it about sent me to the floor.

Hope you feel a little better after some rest tonight.  That had to be painful.  I’m so sorry you had to endure that.  Stay positive hon! Sounds like you’re in good hands though.

Get Well,

Susan R?

Well, I guess you can look at it as a blessing in disguise. You can at least know that that you won’t be having any more issues with them in the near future and you’ll be able to save your body from the side effects of a daily AA pill. Hopefully they can get this done for you quickly so you don’t have to continue to bear the pain. Hang in there girl. Hugs!

Ok I finally was able to go see the surgeon today.  The appointment went as good as I could of hoped for.  
The lump is bad and very enflamed. I am on some antibiotics and strong pain killers for now to see if we can calm it down in there.   It’s has to be removed either way. She put in the order to have both testicles removed as long as the insurance will allow the good one to be removed at the same time.  They don’t see an issue getting that approved but as of today it’s not a 100% done deal.  So I plan to have all my recommendation letters all in order by the end of this month.  Surgery scheduled for April 13th.  
im told it’s an hour surgery then a week off.  
There goes my Maine vacation in November.  Lol

Oh well this is far more important.  ???

 

A little side note is my surgeon is gorgeous young and a lesbian. Yes this makes things difficult for me as I am super attracted to her.  Great. ?☺️?

 

What is it with all these super hot urologists?!?!?
