#laproscopic surgery

Laying on my tummy first the first time since the surgery feel sooooo good. Having that gentle, stable pressure in that area just feels amazing for my swelling and gas and inflammation. I won’t sleep like this since I’m worried about something happening to the incisions, but it feels very comfy rn.

Also put pants on for the first time in days and they are also very warm and nice and comfy. Slightly over sized sweatpants are so the way to go.

My tower fan unfortunately die though, so I suppose we can’t have all comforts in the world lol

i am so happy i am so grateful i really can’t believe it’s going to stop hurting :)

When he hears you cry out in pure pain he doesn’t hesitate. He’s getting you a helicopter as we speak and that thing is going straight to the hospital.

He quickly, and painlessly as possible gets you into a wheel chair and their rolling you to the helipad as quick as possible you’re secured as best as possible and the next thing you know you’re on the top of the building.

The er was already alerted about your situation and are able to quickly get you onto one of those rolling bed things and in a few minutes some saylene and morphine are pumping through ya.

You remember them asking a whole lot of questions before you were being wheeled around again, this time for an ultrasound.

Thankfully they found the problem the first time (unlike me. How lucky.) and it was pretty quick to get you to surgery after that.

Xavier was a shaking mess through out this process. Seeing his darling in pain, being wheeled away and not being put into a deep sleep. Oh, he hates this feeling of pure dread and anxiety.

He begs that this surgery will work and that the blood flow isn’t cut off.

For any of you trans peeps worrying about how scars from a hysto might be visable... They really won’t be. In normal light, you can see the one on the left, but only if you’re looking for it.

This is about 1 year 6 months post op

THE THING THAT HELPED ME THE MOST AFTER SURGERY: holding a pillow to my stomach for the first few days when getting up or sitting down (total life saver!!)

(Also, Jello and pudding cups are your new best friend until you’re done with the narcotics. I personally was strange according to the nurses shovelling a steak and mashed potatoes about 3 hours after surgery into my mouth like my life depended on it!)

THE TATTOO- The tattoo says “Memento Mori”
