Title: wish me luck! stage 1!!
Post by: jonjon on August 07, 2014, 02:51:10 AM
Today's the day, I'm travelling to London ready for stage 1 phalloplasty tomorrow!

I'm just sat waiting on my mum and nan to meet me before we catch the coach down. I've arrived a little early! I am so nervous! Scared it might go wrong or won't be what I expect. Hoping I have packed everything I need, hoping my ratties will be ok without me for a week! Man, this is so surreal and exciting!

I'm going to try and write a blog, but no garentees as I'm really crap at that sort of thing. But I'll keep you updated on that.

Well anyways, here goes nothing! XD

Glad your op went well and that you're recovering. I'll be doing the same thing myself in a few months' time, and to be honest I'm dreading it!

I've been moving about today :) they took my drain out of my abdomen, I swear if they killed me twice it would have felt better. But bow that's out I'm much comfier :) I have no issues with the catheter, so far it's not given me much discomfort. The ass cheeks on the other hand are giving me hell!! For the first few days I felt so nauseous I could hardly eat and I was so uncomfortable! Now that I'm off the morphine I feel much better! Can't wait to get out of here now :)

I will be honest, I wasn't prepares for how I felt the first few days after the op. I wanted to rewind time and not go ahead with it. But now I feel better, no regrets at all.

Igot myself out of bed this morning on my own :D progress!! I had the best nights sleep last night I've had since I been here because it was cooler. Eaten more for breakfast too!

My catheter comes out today and I will get a shower which I can't wait for. They say I should be going home on Thursday or Friday :)

My only complaint is the male nurse that's looking after me was very rough helping me back into bed last night and it just made me feel crap. But he seems to be in a better mood today :) I suppose it doesn't help all the swearing and obscenities that was directed at him when I was in a lot of pain on Saturday lol

I'm having it early 2015! what type of pain is it?
Title: Re: wish me luck! stage 1!!
Post by: jonjon on August 13, 2014, 01:40:42 AM
You mean just the ass pain? Or everything?  Because each different recovery area feels different tbh. My ass pain is like having been sat on a brick wall bare assed for days non stop, it's very bruised. My left arm doesn't hurt as much more uncomfortable. I reckon when they start changing the bandages on it, that'll wake it up and I'm expecting it to sting like a b*tch. The groin area so far still numb with a few non too bothersome twinges. The incision where my drain was hurts like hell also! But I don't know if that's just me because my right side is the most sensitive part of my body and doesn't help it being extremely ticklish either :/

Well im on my way home. I can't say for anyone else's experience and I was told by the nurses many patients aren't happy about their neophallus at this stage. But I am! I l'm happy about its length and girth. Obviously I'll be even more happy if I get sensation in it, but there's loads of time to find that out yet.

Jon is a very lucky boy indeed!!! :D

If its like ours it should only get better with time.

You take care, hugs
