3 days ago v today
starting to feel better but yesterday sucked ass!!! medical stuff below the cut if you’re not interested don’t click the button silly
5 days post op today but yesterday had to go to the emergency room because the pain and drains were doing something they weren’t supposed to be doing i guess! when i finally got to see my doctor i started crying while they were working on my chest and she was like “is it the anxiety or the pain” and i was like “both?” but they took out the drains which is great because that shit was fucking annoying and they put me on new meds which i think are helping considering this is my best day post op so far!! but dude i need to poop and the pharmacy did not have laxatives x_x
generally feeling slightly better is helping the gender euphoria increase which we love to see and is the whole point. wild to me that i finally did it.
grateful to be doing all this in chile tbh i hate navigating medical stuff in the us, and everyone in the ER was masking which from what i can gather is absolutely not happening in us hospitals. so funny to me when chilean friends will disparage other chileans bc usually what they mean is white upper class chileans which is fair i guess, but also have u met americans or the french? another level. idk i just feel like people have been so patient and kind with me and never felt dehumanized or talked down to like what happens so often in us healthcare
