Latest report, at 7 weeks now.
Still having at lot of sensitivity below and can't seem to find panties soft enough that I'm not really sore by day's end. Especially if I've done a lot of walking. Still can't wear tight fitting skinny jeans.
Other than that I'm semi back to normal and beginning to put a little weight back on. (Lost 20 pounds post surgery due to almost complete loss of appetite)
BMs are back to normal and for some reason I can't seem to get enough protein, always craving steak or hamburgers - very strange.
Rode bicycle and did ok so dragged out Harley and rode a few miles, seemed OK. Rode in a car for 5 hours and was sore as hell toward the end of that.
I can't say enough bad things about Oxy. I sure don't see why people crave it. Makes me feel like crap and I finally gave up on it because it made me so dizzy I couldn't drive. I sure never got any kind of buzz from it.
The post surgical pain could hit hard when I have my belt too tight so I'm guessing it'll be months before that resolves. The pain overall is about done. There are still some post-surgical bumps where the thing was and I really hope those go away because it sure affects the smoothness of the pubic area.
My SO says I'm a totally different person, more affectionate, WAY less angry (very calm, she says) I was able to go to the Veterans Administration Transgender group and managed OK in the hard chairs without the donut. Everybody was glad to have me back at group although I had everybody crying at one point. I have to say group is the situation where I am least self conscious.
More updates to come.
