I'm home again! After over two weeks away, I'm so happy to be back. My own home, my own bed. My couch, my kitties. My lovely roommates. There really is no place like home.
In the coming days, I'm going to write up more of my experience with this process. The two weeks of lots of ups and downs. The potions I drank, the maneuvers I learned, and the intense training I am undergoing.
For now, I'm just happy to be home again.
Good news! I've been discharged! I can walk little bits, and mostly eat regular food. I'm staying near the hospital and surgeon's office.
My pain has stayed below a 5/10 the entire time. The worst was the boredom and struggling to sleep in the hospital. Even then, the stress from that doesn't begin to compare to the stress of my dysphoria over the past 20 years.
The hospital staff were phenominal. The surgeon and her PA were on top of my recovery at every step. I couldn't have been in better hands.
Thank you to everyone who has been checking on me and sending me well wishes. You all mean so much to me.
I love you all!
Salutations, friend!
It's finally here! My surgery is bright and early today. I'll be sure to update everyone on how it went as soon as I can.
I love you all!
