24 Hours...here it goes! GCS Thread


Kylie

Recommended Posts

Hey all!

 

So it is the day prior to my GCS. Being 1,300 miles away from home and finishing up my quarantine. Today I have my pre-operative appoint and then my anesthetic evaluation short thereafter. Then it is back to my hotel for the dreaded bowel prep, maybe I will drop a size or two and lose the bloating I have been experiencing the last bit.

 

So, this begins my thread on which I will update. Let the day begin!

Hey all. 
 

Surgery went fantastic. I’m back at my hotel room. Having some discomfort. But medications are helping so much! Surgeon and the team were excited because not having much swelling at all. Just lots of bruising. 
 

Thank you all for the posts.

Woo-hoo!  Congratulations, @Kylie!  I am glad to hear that you are feeling mostly good.  Rest, take it easy, and do everything your surgeon tells you to do.

Thanks all! Did get out bed briefly last night to make some adjustments to the way I was sleeping, the pain became very sharp and unbearable and I did faint. Thankfully I feel back o n the bed. When I woke up my best friend was so confused!

 

Just trying to stay strict with all the medications. Swelling isn’t too bad. Bruised significantly. Will keep updating!

Does EVERYBODY else get to go for walkies? They kept me flat on my back for three days!

 

Of course you passed out. That might be WHY they kept me in bed for three days.

 

I'm glad you're feeling better sweetie. Take your pain meds. Follow your surgeon's instructions and get better.

 

Also don't sit on the surgical site if you can at all avoid it. Ow. ?

 

Hugs!

@Kylie - I am so happy for you - you look gorgeous and soon should feel gorgeous and wait until your cat sees you.... it will be a lick fest.

Ha! @Jackie C. I was able to get up this morning and move around and felt much better than yesterday. Other than those few times I’ve just been chilling in bed all comfy with my pillows, ice packs and meds!

Pretty much a dull pain that doesn’t want to go away. But I’ll keep everyone posted ☺️

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums @violet r   I think we all were scared with our first post here on TPF. I hope you come to find this site as welcoming as an old friend. Not knowing the type of retail you're in, it is hard to know how they will react to your coming out. I would hope that if it's part of a larger corporation they may have corporate policies supporting/protecting you once you decide to come out publicly. No one here will rush you, or try to slow you down, once you've decided to come out. Some of us are secret sisters, and others of us are as flamboyant as they come. The cool this is you get to choose. You be you.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Welcome aboard, Violet. What a pretty name!   You are among friends here. We are all on a journey, with things in common despite our individual uniqueness. I hope that makes sense!

      Oh Yes!   This one is so obvious to anyone who has had a cat and observed any Big Cat.
