Well, I was given a tour of the new me while being shown where to apply the neosporin on the sutures, which are already nearly invisible. I am amazed at how quickly the bruising and swelling is subsiding, If you didn't know, you'd look and see a woman who's had trauma. It was another oh wow moment, The nurse said she couldn't believe how good things looked, Of course a catheter coming out of the urethera might be a give away. I haven't had to take any pain medicine since the JP tube was removed. That one hurt. Reminded me of genital electrolysis. I'm able to get around pretty well. Some of the pain and soreness is being replaced by a tickling sensation, very cool. Beth and I went for a walk around the patient ward this afternoon. That was exhausting. The packing in the vagina amounts to a mega tampon. It's kind of like having my period. Discharge, odor, etc. And I'm loving every minute of it. I can't believe all the periods of chills and hot flashes I'm going through. Right now, I'm on fire. Think about it....stop the spiro two weeks prior and cut the E in half. Then get the source of T nipped at the bud. Then go back on hormones. If this is what Beth is going through I feel for her. Of course this hormonal roller coaster will settle down. You know, I'd swear my breasts have grown in the last couple of days. Everything is so right. I went into this with no expectations. I imagined the possibilities. And wow...I'm healing well and I got more depth than even Marci expected.
On the down side don't ever drink a ton of carbonated soda while on mineral oil and stool softners, Stick with water or juice. And try hard not to catch a cold.
