Surgery - finally

Thessa · July 10, 2017, 09:12:30 AM

Today I checked in to the hospital and I should have my surgery tomorrow.

Currently I have to drink 3 litre of disgusting laxative. I don't know how to get the last litre down, there is just no room left in my stomach.

The last days I got more and more anxious about the outcome, post op care and worries about the decision. It's me overthinking again, as usual

I wish you the best for a speedy recovery! I am actually envious of a surgical procedure!

From what I hear there will be soon.

It wasn't that bad, maybe because of the long time period I needed to get it down.

Adding Raspberry juice to the solution did the trick.

Thank you!

Now I'm getting a little bit nervous, I'm ready in my room and I'm waiting to get picked up.

I hope things went well. Waiting to hear back from you as soon as you can tap that keyboard again.

Hi Thessa,
Congratulations! Look forward to hearing your story. I am only two weeks earlier than you. At two weeks my head is clear and I am starting to do a lot more. People were right, rest, listen to your body, and let people help you. Very happy for you.

I'm so happy for you! And so jealous! I'm a loooong way from surgery, if I can ever afford it.
Hope everything goes well!!

Thank you for all your wishes! [emoji66]

I'm doing relatively fine, tomorrow I'm finally allowed to get out of bed.

Yesterday my Surgeon told me that the surgery was about 6 hours and that he is very satisfied and maybe there is no need for corrections. *Fingers crossed*

My Surgeon was Dr. Klaus Schrögendorfer, he is the only one, as far as I know, who is doing the combined method of Dr. Schaff here in Austria.

The staff at the hospital is very nice and so far there is nothing to complain about.

Hi Moni,

I'm happy for you and that after two weeks you are already able to do more. That sounds really great.

I will try to give my body and myself the time to heal. Although I have so many things to do...

Hugs, Thessa

I expect you are much younger than I am, so you will bounce back quicker. There was a young woman, Aubrey, having surgery about the time I did. I was laying in bed and in she pops in the room to say hello. My impression was that she danced into the room high kicking like a Rockette, fresh from rock climbing and horse back riding. It might have been the influence of the drugs I was on, but I had the urge to chop one of those legs out from under her. lol No one should feel that good after this. Anyway enough of my rambling. Hope you recover quickly, Girl.

And that's exactly the reason why I don't mingle with the older transwomen who're having SRS the same time as me (I'm currently 8 days post-op and still in the hospital).

I'm happy to be up and about, walking around the place and having not too much pain. I guess that's what being young does. What I do get from the older women around me, is a lot of hateful and jealous looks. Perhaps it's my passing, perhaps it's my ability to bounce back... but what the hell, we're all goig through the same thing!

So please, keep your opinions about sawing off the legs of people like me to yourself. It's not our fault you're still in bed.
