Insights from working from home while recovering from major surgery: actually getting dressed before needing to lie down again feels like an accomplishment. https://lgbt.io/media/x12GayDTitg-IfoaSD8

Pants off, ready to dilate, when my *other* pussy decides he needs attention first. Goober. 🐱 https://lgbt.io/media/5vyIhDTkIJPPxVafEmQ

So apparently my inner labia is under too much stress and has pulled apart in one spot. Fuck me.

Bowers tells me it's most likely because the larger dilator size I started this week is too much stretching too soon, and if I relax and take it easy for a few days, it should heal.

Still hurts and is scary, though. 😟

Forget your impossible-to-buy S/NES Classics; I just pulled my Backer's Ouya out of mothballs and got it set up with emulators and a dozen or so of my favorite games. Playing Super Metroid on my HDTV is effing rad.

You know how I said this morning that sizing up to dilator #2 didn't hurt? Yeah, forget I said that. 😶

So today I began graduating up to dilator size #2, which is an eighth of an inch thicker in diameter than the #1, and feels at least twice that. The stretching sensation isn't painful, but is decidedly weird.

Lots of nerves down there have started coming back online in the past few days, pinging like little shooting stars of sensation. It doesn't hurt, any more than say a single app of laser hair removal, but it catches me off-guard every time because I'm not expecting it and there's no warning. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Skater dress, icepack between my legs, watching Supergirl and eating a yogurt. Killing that #transChickAesthetic today. 😎 https://lgbt.io/media/5yDMVuc6bMNQ2Wm7tG8

It's beginning to dawn on me that the worst part of dilation is getting past my pubic bone. Ow.

Here's the recipe @inurashii shared with me for the gorgeous chipotle adobo mayo she showed off yesterday (here: https://awoo.space/@inurashii/98885651302870802). I take no credit, but I needed to post it somewhere it wouldn't get lost. https://lgbt.io/media/fmBxEnBlJ1sFf7BkZIY

Once again Randall Munroe comes uncomfortably close to describing my life. https://xkcd.com/1906/ https://lgbt.io/media/2gmznkWCGhp33__phIg

Listening to the latest #thezonecast episode, and really really hoping Justin and Travis come up with better character voices for their female characters.

Okay, first dilation done. That wasn't at all as bad as I feared.

And a lot less painful than peeing without the catheter. 😓

Had my 1 week post-op with Dr. Bowers this morning. She's pleased with how everything looks and is healing, so that's super encouraging.

I also got the cursed catheter and packing out, so now I'm untethered and free to heal in peace. ✌️
