TMI…. bodily functions

One of the things about genital reassignment surgery is that you literally need to re-learn how to pee again. Not only is the urethra now in a difference position, but the muscles you use to control your pee are very different.

It’s a really good thing the toilets here have a spray-nozzle bidet (why, oh why do we not have these in the States!) because immediately post-op you tend to spray everywhere.

But I realize this morning, I’ve finally learned pretty good control over the stream. Achievement unlocked!

The other not so fun thing about recovery is that the pain killers make you constipated, really constipated — which when you’re sticking an 8-1/2×1-3/8 medical dildo inside you to dilate can make things very crowded to say the least. Let’s just say I have a pretty good idea about what double-penetration must feel like — but this is definitely *not* the fun kind. Last night I was almost crying because it was so painful.

So it’s great when the laxatives actually kick in. Almost feel like we patients should get a gold star with “I pooped today” on it. 💩
