Heyo,
Figured I give a small update. Today they took the wound vac out and changed wound dressing. Still have the catheter in. Bowel movements have been getting closer to pre-opt normal. I have more or less full mobility--walking around my room, getting in and out of bed/chairs, going to the bathroom on my own.
Been a bit paranoid about changing dressings after a bowel movement, just don't want to chance anything. The nurses here have been really reassuring and helpful with this.
Been spending plenty of time on VCs with friends and my parents have been stopping by.
Not at all related to the surgery but had some good laughs with the nurses over dumb jokes and small talk.
Still haven't processed that I have a vagina now or that I don't have a penis/balls. I'm sure once the dressings are off and I start dilating, this will change.
Thanks y'all for the support on the other posts ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
