SRS: Pre-visit in the hospital

 So I visited HUS today to meet the specialist nurse and the surgeon. 


I took train to the capital and reserved one hour for getting to the hospital, getting blood and pee samples taken and get ready for the actually reserved time. I only waited for a 15 minutes for the reserved time so it was good thing that I reserved that much time. I even took electric scooter to the hospital as it was something like 1.5km so I figured it would be good to not walk there and I didn't want to use public transportation.

The took 6 tubes of blood and were confused about the pee sample but I after a while they gave me the container and opened the toilet for samples.

The surgeon was super nice and she took a look of my genitals that if there's anything worth noting. I kinda expected that but as I'm really sensitive to cold nowadays it took me a little while to undress as I had 4 pieces of clothing I had to take away completely and 2 to move away. And it was fine. They didn't say or ask anything about my weight either so I assume it's fine even while my BMI is over 30. But I think it's mostly guideline than something else as it doesn't tell anything about your body composition.

They went through what will happen and all that, so what to expect. I would actually do the bowel emptying in the monday evening so I would go to sleep with empty stomach. Which will most likely mean that I can't sleep well, which sounds REALLY GREAT before major surgery. I hope my only major surgery during my life. But yeah, maybe that's given, my general health is more important as that's what helps me to recover from the surgery.

Hormone pause is closing up as well and the spiro jar is getting really empty. I have only 5 spiros left so I will take the last one on monday, one week before starting the actual hormonal pause. It's also really starting to hit me that 6 weeks from now I have the operation done already.



So, I'm getting more active here again as I want to document how the hormonal pause will feel like and how it feels after the surgery.

'Til next time~ 💜

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
