CW: vaginoplasty recovery
ive been wiped out physically and emotionally all day today. recovery is not a linear process, and today was a significant dip.
but some combination of reconnected nerves and diminished swelling and ennervation-numbed skin chilling the fuck out means that i can feel the bed sheets on my mons this evening and its delightfully novel and exciting. so its not all troubling developments today.
i wonder what tomorrow will bring.

CW: vaginoplasty recovery
it has been a day of zaps. nerves reconnecting feels like little electric shocks, mostly little, some big, and a couple today that made me yelp out loud. its all good and its all progress but its kind of been A LOT today.
dilation is also shifting from a purely mechanical exercise and into… ahem. i need to stay perfectly focused on chaste thoughts. i feel like an actual sexual response would tear everything apart, which is irrational, i know. still intimidating.

CW: vaginoplasty +
so i went into this with zero aesthetic hopes. vaginoplasty was fully covered by manitoba health, i wasnt gonna complain if the end result was a crude, frankenstein approximation. functional was my highest hope.
and immediately after, bruised and swollen and bristling with sutures, thats what she looked like. i was still content.
but the bulk of the swelling has gone down now, the bruises are almost faded. and oh gosh, fam. she's beautiful.

she's so cozy tucked up where shes supposed to be. i kind of despise most uses of the words "supposed" and "should" but i really have no better words. its just… right.

CW: vaginoplasty recovery; explicit medical
what they told me: there's a piece of gauze between labia majora and minora thats held in place by a blood clot; once things have healed itll come out on its own. it may fall out in bits and pieces. just throw the gauze scraps away
what they did NOT tell me: the gauze may come out when youre not looking and you'll be like: where'd it go? did it go inside? (which is bad) and you will never ever know what happened to it. live with the mystery forever

surprising nobody but myself, the morning after my 22-hour day of packing, airline travel, unpacking, and of course four dilation sessions, my body is not at all happy with me.
but after this session i get to shower in my own shower, and start unfucking my hair.

so far there are two parts of dilation that are proving difficult for me:
1. remembering to set the timer
2. omg its so boring

im not supposed to drive for another week, but thats just a week. after that i should be able to drive my family to school in the morning and pick them up when theyre done, fit my dilation around those schedule hard points, and then squeeze in errands and cooking as possible… keeping a close eye on myself not overdoing it! thats going to be the real challenge for me.
but i think im up to it. :)

i feared id be more or less bedridden at least for a few weeks and unable to meet the physical demands of going about my life for a long while. that does not appear to be the case. i can do stairs (encouraged to, even) and im supposed to walk for at least an hour every day.
im pretty sure ill even be able to cook for my family, which fills me with so much joy. ive really missed that since starting full time work.
the real limiter on my life in the short term will be time and logistics

okay as my stay at the convalescent hotel comes to a close, "what life looks like after" is coming into focus. which is good, real good, because thats been a big source of anxiety for me.
and life going forward looks… normal? like obviously i have this new full-time temp job called dilation, but i can see how thats gonna fit in with everything, and how ill be able to scale it down as appropriate and get back to the things i did pre-surgery.

okay i admit it, i thought @FinalGirl was being a little overenthusiastic about going commando. like valid for her, glad she enjoys her thing, but whatever, seems a little silly.
it is not silly.
holy fuck it is not silly at all.

…which sounds weird and kind of irrational, but when somebody gets some congenital problem with their legs fixed, nobody expects them to keep limping, or tell everyone they meet that they didnt used to be able to run and jump. they just… live their normal lives.
for some reason* we treat transgender healthcare differently, tho. i wish we could just treat it like what it is: a largely fixable and ultimately trivial problem.
it could be so simple.
* patriarchy

im already having to remind myself that i did not have this genital configuration my entire life. everything's been tucked in, splayed out, or folded up in ways that they "should have been" in the first place and, swelling and bruising aside, its like my body wants to just settle in and pretend its always been this way.

its like my hips have been unlocked all over again, and i can feel how, once things heal up and are less swollen, this is only the beginning.
the way i move is gonna be totally different.
