After 30 years of neurosurgeons refusing to do anything to fix my back problems, I went to a female surgeon. I had nothing but disappointment from male surgeons.

This is going to be a double surgery, in that bone from 2 vertebrae need to be removed, and a disc cut. I'm looking forward to October 17, and then 2 - 3 days in the hospital with a morphine drip, and another 2 - 3 weeks of bedrest at home. After that, my non-existant sexlife should improve. I may even remove the wheelchair from my van. 😁

There is something I just can't seem to stop thinking about. I have seen countless posts regarding having trans women stop HRT before surgery. My surgeon told me to continue taking all my prescriptions as directed.

Sex hormones have some impact on blood ... thickness? A lot of surgeons who do FTM top surgery force you to stop T. Mine didn't and nothing happened. If your blood tests are good on your current regimen I don't see why they would want you to change anything, honestly.

I think it's cis-centric bias to think that endogenous hormones = better. The tell is that they tell both FTM and MTF to stop hormones, clearly one set of hormones is not "safer" by any stretch of the imagination.

If you stop aspirin usage like you're supposed to I'm sure you'll be fine.

I am looking forward to Monday. When the hospital called, they told me to discontinue fish oil pills, but continue everything else. This means I can keep taking my hormones. It may be possible that this is because I've already had my orchiectomy, and am legally female.

The biggest reason I am looking forward to Monday, is that the physical pain is intolerable. I can barely walk at all. Trying to sleep at night is very difficult. I even had to give my hubby a rude awakening this morning, by jabbing him in the chest with my elbow, when his knee was in my back. I could not go back to sleep.
