Checking what i need before going to Thailand

[Layn]

oh, right, sorry! Last update was "bloooooooooooooooood" which followed by silence can sound... discouraging
i found a bit of bleeding a few more times. I'm still not sure what it is. I think it might something to do with trying to sleep on my side. Everyone else seems to be doing it, and sleeping on my back is starting to be uncomfortable. However i think it creates too much pressure on the wound, specially with my fat inner thighs! I've tried several pillows between the legs, but i still feel some pressure.

I've went through some pretty depressed days, and right afterwards (and still currently, i think) very happy and giddy days . In both cases it started with nothing in particular (i think it might have been loneliness, and well, not feeling enough like a person, since i'm mostly at home and dilating and then just... waiting for the next session), but the getting better did coincide with taking stronger painkillers!

You know, i do miss aiming to pee, but it surprises me how quickly and easy i adapted to seeing something else between my legs in the mirror, considering i've had a penis for... well obviously my entire life. I was worried i might not feel enough dysphoria about it and would have a small bit of difficulty adapting to the change, but it turns out i've completely forgotten how it was before!

I went to the gynecologist and was really nervous, but it was great! I seriously loved it. Okay she didn't look at my vagina, which is okay because we both agreed that it might be way too early, but we mostly talked about various questions i had.
She knew from the start that i'm transsexual because i decided to be honest and forthcoming on the questionnaire they gave me while i was waiting for the appointment. She has no experience with us but was eager to learn and to get things right. She also agreed to basically become my endo, which is great since my endocrinologist is too far away, so i'll be asking them to transfer my file and all info she may need to her. When she wasn't sure about something for my specific case she researched for a bit and at the end prescribed me a few things that may be helpful. We also talked about general women's health stuff like checking for breast cancer among other things.

I've been having more pain lately. Some nylon stitches are poking out near the clitoris and it's being really bothersome, but thankfully i have pain medication. Dilations are getting easier, but i still feel like i don't have time to do anything the entire day. It's really taking over my life and it's hard to deal with that. I'm looking forward to reducing the amount of sessions per day in a month. I've been playing the new Pokémon during dilations . The only problem i have is using the face buttons when trying to talk with someone or trying to use something, since i only have one hand free.

Ha the most important thing I can tell you is something you don't even take with you to Thailand. My doctor (and I presume yours) will give you two types of pain meds. Save one of the powerful ones for the dam airplane flight home. Take it when you get on the plane and life will be so much easier!!

way too late for that But i did okay. I thankfully didn't use to have that much pain. Now i'm using something else that my gyno prescriped. I didn't use the pain meds they gave in thailand much, but after a few days the tramal didn't seem to have any effect any more...
