⠀ The beginning of this week started out a bit rough, but finally starting to feel more myself again. 🙌⠀ ⠀ Besides the global pandemic, one thing that has been kind of bumming me out lately is the discomfort I have been feeling in my hand due to the tightness of my skin graft. It’s not a new issue, but the more muscle I put on, the tighter my graft gets. ⠀ ⠀ I have been in contact with my surgeon and he doesn’t think it is lymphedema but impaired blood drainage due to the “tourniquet” effect of my graft. ( you might notice my left hand in comparison to my right. ) ⠀ ⠀ We have discussed a possible surgical option to relieve some of the tightness, and considering how uncomfortable it is while working out, I might give it a try after my show in October. ⠀ ⠀ I won’t go into huge detail in this post but this surgery would require a pretty good chunk of recovery time. If it helps, it could be worth it. ⠀ ⠀ With that in mind, time to give it 110% until October when I step on stage. Gym access or not…nothing’s gunna stop me. 💪⠀ ⠀ #phalloplasty #ftm #rffphalloplasty #ftm #trans #transgender #skingraft #health #fitness #fit #keepgoing #summershredding #covid19 #homeworkout #homegym #anxiety #motivation #rffphalloplasty https://www.instagram.com/p/CAjLU9Dgtj9/?igshid=1jblzo05s1cyx

Skingraft F/W 2014

In light of my accident, I've decided to rename my fingers on my right hand. Instead of "Index", "Middle", "Ring", and "Pinky", please allow me to present "Ow", "OWWWW", "Mashed Potato", and "Tiny". #seamstress #handinjury #amputee #skingraft #amputeegirl #kwire #feelingstrong #feelingbeautiful #feelingmyself

Your journey is your own. Not everyone can take the same path or follow the same blueprint to building their life because we are all different. 😊 . . Sometimes there are obstacles, and detours but that doesn’t mean you are not capable or worthy, it just means that you might have to do things a bit differently than the average person— But that’s okay. It is okay to think differently, function differently, and take a different path through life. As a trans person, and someone who struggles with anxiety I often find that I have to take detours or create workarounds to reach certain goals. I’ve been having a tough time with this lately and shaming myself for not functioning more smoothly in society. I definitely don’t take the usual path with most things. Hell, I do things ass backwards sometimes 😂 but what matters most is that I still get to my goal. It might take me a bit longer, but that means I have to want it that much more. Never mistake a detour for a dead end. 🛑 . . There is not one single right way to get to where you want to be. Everyone is different, don’t let anyone dictate your journey or tell you what you are/not capable of. What matters is that you go after what you want and don’t give up. 💪 . . #keepgoing #journey #anxiety #freedom #detour #mentalhealth #life #fitness #fit #ftm #trans #transgender #phalloplasty #ftmfitness #skingraft #trusttheprocess https://www.instagram.com/p/B8F7aWvAQbq/?igshid=j9fvzpydjkqe
