So today officially marks six weeks since my srs and, given some minor issues and worries, everything is going great.
The sutures which have been causing me grief have finally come loose andI no longer have my clitoral area feeling like it is being pinched. The hard area of erectile tissue has become softer and has become less swollen and it no longer feels like I have a permanent erection whenever I walk. Overall, the discomfort and little pain I have had has diminished, but I still walk gingerly to avoid accidentally over doing it and causing damage.
My physical energy is at an all time high and today was spent running errands and shopping. I finally have enough comfort and energy to buy clothes.
Not sure what it is, but people are treating me differently--they're nicer. Not sure what it is, but I really haven't changed other than srs and a trach shave. Maybe I just don't care anymore and appear more comfortable, maybe I exude some sort of different aura. Not sure what it is, but I definitely like it--I feel normal for the first time in my life.
Anyways, time to dilate and hit the hay! More later. :)

Thanks Melan. No, they don't hate me now, but they did before--and, I think what I can attribute that too was that I never wanted people to get close to me. If I let anyone close to me pre-op, then I would have had to admit my status to them. This probably gave people the impression that I was snobby and anti social. It goes to show how much I truly hated living with the male parts and having anyone considering me to be male. All that is gone now, but it will take a while to really get rid of those feelings for good. One day at a time, I guess. It's not only about healing now, it's also about rediscovering myself.

Like, I'm sure, everyone here, I am so utterly happy for you.
The physical healing seems to be underway. The mental healing, though it may take longer, I have a feeling, will be much better.
Take care girl. The world is yours.
