#testicularimplants

A little update on my status - I'm staying in the hospital 1 more night, and doing well! My pain level is around a 2-3 at the moment. Very manageable. ☺️🌌 They wanted to keep an eye on and stop some bleeding that was occurring earlier today at the incision on my scrotum. They put some SurgiSeal on the site, and I’m going to heal up totes fine. Bleeding is contained. 👌☺️💙 Dr. Ley said she's glad too it's happening more externally and not into my scrotum for my new testes to swim around in. 🙃🤓 Thank you all soooooo much for your support and loving sweet words, well wishes and positive, healing vibes. Sweetest dreams, fam. ☺️🤗💙🌱✨ #Surgery #ftm #trans #transgender #meta #stage2 #scrotoplasty #testicularimplants #siliconebeans #update #progress #process #healing #caretaking #journeytohappiness #journeytofreedom #journeytopeace #love #support #wellwishes #framily #family #friendsies #sograteful (at Scottsdale, Arizona)

@starcallers4035 took me on my first outing yesterday since surgery. Eeee! 💙🤗 We did a little grocery shopping together. 😋🙃 It was so nice to get out of the house for a bit. Yesterday was sore, sleepy, and a little nauseous - and about a 4 on the pain scale. Manageable! My bits are bruised, swollen, and healing, and walking is getting easier and better each day. What was the day before a hunched back and slow, hobbling advances, yesterday and today are more upright and steadier steps. On the mend and on my way! I am so grateful and amazed with my body and its ability to heal, adapt and grow through all of this. This is a process, and with each new step, I am growing closer and closer to feeling at peace and at home in my body. 💙🌱✨ #journeytofreedom #journeytohappiness #journeytopeace #journeytohome #soincrediblygrateful #trusttheprocess #patience #progress #dowhatsbestforyou #dowhatyouneed #healingthroughdysphoria #meta #stage2 #scrotoplasty #testicularimplants #DrLey #Scottsdale #AZ #movingforward #WAAppleHealth #sograteful (at Phoenix, Arizona)

Eeeee!! I did my last shot of testosterone today before my second procedure for lower surgery (metoidioplasty) coming up in 2 weeks!! 2 weeks from today - I will have my scrotoplasty and placement of permanent testicular implants with Dr. Ley in Scottsdale, AZ. Agh. I. Can’t. Wait. 💙#readytowashmybeans #scrotoplasty #testicularimplants #lowersurgery #bottomsurgery #2weeks #ftm #trans #transgender #dowhatsbestforyou #dowhatyouneed #journeytopeace #journeytofreedom #journeytohappiness #meta #drley #scottsdale #AZ #soexcited #sohappy #soincrediblygrateful

Only 6 hours left until stage 2!! 😍🙈🙃 I’ll be going in at 8:30am for my pre-op, and then heading over to the surgery center by 10:30am to check in and get prepped for my 12:30pm surgery! Ahhh!! 😍🙌 #gettingmybeanstoday #cojones #meta #stage2 #DrLey #Scottsdale #AZ #WAAppleHealth #scrotoplasty #testicularimplants #journeytohappiness #journeytofreedom #journeytopeace #soincrediblygrateful (at Phoenix, Arizona)

Catheter is out!! 😍🙌 It was soooo much less painful than last time...I hardly felt it. It came out so quick and smooth. Thank goodness. 😋 When I saw Dr. Ley earlier, she explained how my urethra is nice and wide and she didn’t need to scope or dilate me when putting in my catheter - that putting it in went in smooth and easy as well. She sounded very pleased. 🤗 Got to get up for the first time and move to sit in the chair after too! Eating breakfast meow, and my pain level is at about a 5 at the moment - not too bad! 😄💙 And I got to see it! The skin that was on either side of my phallus is gone and moved down to create my scrotum officially!! Eeeeee!!! 😍🙌 I’m bleeding some, but nothing serious, and there is some swelling in and around my phallus. Always keep in mind - Patience is key for these surgeries. It may look brutal at first, and the healing process is pretty amazing I’d say. Only thing left to do is pee for the first time here before I’m able to get discharged today, so waiting on that urge, and then I’ll be good to go! I am so incredibly grateful for medical science and my insurance for all of this to have been made possible for me in this life, and for my body and its ability to heal, adapt, and bounce back so quickly and smoothly. And of course - for Dr. Ley and her staff. Everyone there has been so amazing. 💙 Agh. *sigh* #sograteful #sohappy #meta #stage2 #scrotoplasty #testicularimplants #ftm #trans #transgender #medicaltransition #medicalscience #insurance #WAAppleHealth #DrLey #scottsdale #AZ #journeytohappiness #journeytofreedom #journeytopeace #dowhatsbestforyoupersonally #transandhappy #transandproud #transandgrateful (at Greenbaum Surgery Center)
