Ok, so, bottom surgery recovery is going ~splendidly~ tbh, Iâve been off opioids basically all week, sheâs healing well, she even looks pretty which at under the one-month mark is making me feel pretty optimistic. The only problems itâs giving me are that sometimes if I see something really gross it makes my body feel like itâs trying to suck itself inward from my vagina, like a black hole generated by the power of âew ew ew,â and that healing is really tiring so Iâm likeâŠalways sleepy. But tbh most of bottom surgery recovery has been peaceful, Iâve had a lot of time to do some self-reflection (which I hate, doing my own therapy as a patient suuuuuucks), BUT, I do have one funny story:
Right as I wake up thereâs a nurse there who hustles over and says heâs glad he saw me wake up and tells me heâs giving me some pain meds and then he gives me IV Fentanyl and so I go from like âOw ow ow ow awake awake awakeâ to âooooooh fuck Iâm floating on clouds made of rainbowsâ in like 6 seconds and so I was pretty out of it. The hospital had all the recently-post op patients all in one big-ass room, and they see patients for ALL sorts of surgeries, so I was next to an old guy who got his knee replaced on one side and some young 30-something dude with some kind of mechanism on his leg. So I asked him what happened since I was high as fuck and feeling kind as a result, and he said he broke his leg hiking off-trail when his leg went down a literal rabbit hole and snapped his shinbone. I say something like âdamn dude that blowssssssâ while giggling because Iâm high as FUCK on actual fentanyl and heâs like âYeah, for real, Iâm feeling great right now though! What about you? What are you in here for?â
And I fully was not thinking like a person, I was thinking like a fentanyl-addled tgirl so I just go âOh, haha, they cut my dick off!â
And he just kinda stops and is like âHah-WAIT what? Why?â and I was trying to think of an acceptable answer to tell this cis guy because itâs dawning on me through my drug-induced haze that not everybody wants their penis gone and before I can think of a response two nurses just came up andâŠwheeled him away. Idk where to, and I donât think he did either, because he kept looking back at me and frantically asking the nurses where they were taking him and I never gave him an adequate response so he probably thought he was gonna get that âTransgender for Everyoneâ shit before he was probably actually delivered to whoever his ride home was.
