Well, the recovery room can get a little depressing the first few days to be honest. Thank god for one of Chet's nurses named Noi. That lady is an angel. I love her so much!!!

(Actually, all the nurses are really sweet)

Well if treated with some kind of consideration I think most of the people in that country respond well...

I have read that pineapple juice might be an idea after surgery because it contains bromelain (bromelain is also available as powder) and might help with bruising and healing... of course in appropriate doses... did they tell you that, too ? It was from another Chett thread... a glass of fresh juice every day for example...
but better ask the nurse first if they didn't tell you... :)
Some pineapple juice should make for some vacation feeling :)

Noi is some kind of superstar, She kept me sane while I was in the small room in Chetts place, She also is a great distraction when painful things are happening like drain removal. I don't have enough good words to say about all Chetts staff or even Chett himself but Noi is by far my favourite nurse which is why she was given all the stuff I bought to make my cottage more comfortable.

As for swelling I cured mine and a couple of other girls by taking Turmeric pills. 2 a day is enough to soon get rid of it and it's a natural spice used allot in Indian cooking so if you cannot get any pills eat a curry. The little drug store on Pattanakarn Road just before the footbridge you use to reach Tesco Lotus will likely have it or maybe even Tesco Lotus itself will stock some.

Hope all keeps going well with recovery

I love Noi.  She is such a sweet woman.  I love Sri too, but she is usually the one hurting you,  while Noi rubs you and tells you that you are beautiful.

Today, I got my internal packing removed (OUCH) and had my first dilation. My official depth is 6.5 inches. Sri said everything looked good inside. I a am SO happy!!!!

Also, real food for the first time in 9 days! Yay! :)

I'll recap from the beginning. I was picked up by dr chefs driver and taken to the surgery center. They stripped me and put in in a robe and laid me on a bed. Dr Chet came in and said we were waiting for the anesthesiologist. He asked if I wanted a sleeping pill since I was freaking out and I took it. I quickly fell asleep and then instantly. Heard people calling my name saying deep breaths. I was like wtf. Someone said "all done" and I'm like "what"? Before passing out again. When I wake up I am in a tight chest binding bandage, this weird buttock cast/diaper thing, and these robot pants that prevent Dvt by compressing your legs. It was not comfortable, but I'm pretty sure they kept me on morphine that night, because I slept easily. The next day would not be so easy.

I was woken up by a nurse to take antibiotics at 7am the next morning. Which hurt my stomach but not too bad. Then at 8 they brought hot chocolate and soy milk. I drank some of each and had another assortment of pills to take. Painkillers, anti swelling, antibiotics, muscle relaxers....it was like 8 pills lol. My stomach again got angry but calmed down enough for me to sleep again. Then at 11 was woken up for more antibiotics.then at 12 more hot chocolate and soy Milk and 8 more pills. I felt horrible now. Somehow got to sleep and then at 5 more antibiotics. At 6, more hot chocolate and soy milk and 8 more pills. This was too much and I spent the next few hours throwing up, which was even more horrible bc of the tight chest bandages. THen at 11, more pills. I asked for anti nausea meds but they wouldn't give them. So I took the pills with water and struggled to vomit for an hour before finally succeeding. Then they made me take the pills again, this time with anti nausea meds. I dreaded mealtime from then on. The next two days weren't as bad though, as I asked for an icepack to wrap around my throat with each meal and saved some crackers to take the premeal antibiotics with. I was so happy to get out of that place. The nurses are nice, but all the pills are horrible unless you have an iron stomach.

Anyways, my ass looks nice now, I have d cup boobs, and my vagina is looking nice. Dr. Chet is an amazing surgeon with a very caring staff. The food and Meds are what made it an ordeal for me.

Wonderful and exciting for you Jess except today when the swiff takes over. I also think it's great that you're all getting along so well and that we are able to see a great example of the main benefit of staying at The Rama. Not saying I never made friends during my time there because I did but you all seem to be having fun and supporting each other so well :)

Good Luck for tomorrow Jess

Thanks Sorcha :) I just took the first dose of swiff about 45 mins ago, waiting for it to work it's (dark) magic  :-\

And agreed, Sarah and Arielle, and everyone here at "trans alley" is so wonderful and supportive, so much help to me when I first got here, and great to have some girls who can relate and going through the same thing  :)

I agree totally. It's great to have people around who have been through it themselves when you arrive, and fun to tell other newcomers about things after you're past them.

My catheter came out today. YAY!!!! I said 'I'm freeee!' and spun around in front of Sri and a younger nurse today. They found it amusing :P

Good luck with the swiff Jess. I hope its not too rough on you.
