Start of HRT: Day 5

What a day. I called to hormone clinic (or to their robot) in the morning as I didn't want to try if same thing happens again what happened in the weekend. Couple of hours later they called back and said that yeah, this needs doctors opinion, as it was nurse who called, the robot just received callback request. Couple of hours later doctor called (it was different who I saw on last tuesday though) and said that let's try with lower dosage at first. So she wrote 25 mg spironolactone to ease out the start even more. I'm hoping it will help, it wouldn't be first time I need longer time ramping up the dosage. It was same story with lamotrigin as well.

My feeling was bit bad in the morning so I stayed home, doing work remotely. Although, it was still bit of a pain. But it was good thing that I did, because random diarrhea attacked. I wonder where that came from or is it just some reaction to the new medication? Maybe. It got me really tired and cold so I went to bed around 16:00 and I slept for couple of hours, woke up for a moment and slept couple of hours more. I woke up little over hour ago and I'm planning to go back to sleep very soon, after taking my meds.

I hope tomorrow will be better.

Uncensored Tipsy Thoughts 5

Being drunk is interesting. It makes you think things from different perspective. Tonight, I have thought about the harsh contradiction in myself. In one end, there is the tech head. My work. Things I love to do with computers. Gaming. In another end, there are the girly things. Starting from makeup and clothes, ending to how I carry myself and how I observe world and imitate it. In third end, there is my bad side. How grim and self-reliant I am. And partly reflecting that, my ability to read people way better than I would like to. In the fourth end is what I want to show to the world. That I'm neutral, optimistic and liberal, can get along with everyone, I don't prejudge. I give certain amount of trust to everyone. And depending on your actions I judge you and you will either gain or lose trust. That is bit bad combination. In the history of mine, there are several occurrences when I have hitted below the belt with words very hard. I do it unconsciously when I'm pissed

SRS: 1 year later

 Wait, already? I visited HUS on wednesday, for year later inspection. Everything was fine according to the surgeon. And I realized how rough she has been all the time. I just haven't felt it before so it was bit of a shock. But, no problems with urinary retention or anything really, only occasional (rather intensive) sting of pain which lasts usually only couple of seconds. Sometimes longer, but less than minute and those are less intense. I'm guessing it relates to nerves healing and the surgeon said that they take time to heal as an answer to my pondering. It also looks like a pussy, like it should. I have next visit in two years, 3 years after surgery. I hope everything has healed completely then, though tactile feel is pretty much only thing lacking so. Talking about tactile feel, it is rather good nowadays. There's almost numb spots still, especially on top (between labia) and under (in the vagina) the edematous tissue. But the vagina, especially the deep end, labias

SRS: T-23 hours

 Oh gosh, less than a day. Tomorrow at this time I will be on operating table already. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I was barely able to sleep last night for some reason. I took sleeping pill to get some decent amount of sleep but it only made me very calm and tired. So hopefully my body was able to rest at least. I got something like 2-3 hours of sleep, I think. I'm also pretty sure I won't be able to sleep much tomorrow night, I will be way too nervous. And wake up at 5am anyway. Last breakfast. Last cups of coffee. Last everything at home. Last moments of this era of my life. This is pinnacle of my transition, towards which I have lived (more or less) the past 10 years. I know the happier times will be in front of me, after some suffering. But even with pain, just the lack of dysphoria will make days so much brighter. My train will leave in 9:04 to the capital. I hope it won't be late, I have reserved only one hour from the train station to the hospital. I te
