Moving Out

This is my last day at the Greenbaum and I’m almost ready to head out. There’s still a bit of packing to do but it’s almost time to go. I’ve got my final med orders and I have my “legal letter”, the one that states that I’ve has SRS in accordance with the Benjamin standards. I need to send copies to MVA, medical insurance, etc.

Last night was a bit rough. I needed to do a dilation around midnight or 1AM and another around 7AM. It was hard to figure out the first dilation: do I go to bed for 2-3 hours and then get up or just stay up? I decided to get some sleep first but it turned out that I couldn’t sleep and was still up at midnight. I was still awake at 1AM, itchy again and unable to sleep. Finally I asked for a sleep aid.

My shower this morning was my first without something hanging out of me. What a great feeling. Everything is still very swollen but I can get an idea of what it’s all going to look like and it all looks good. I’ve got many areas that are pretty much numb, including a 2”x4” area below my navel and above my mons. Just below that are two small dimples, evidence of the two internal sutures that hold the far end of the vagina.

It’s been a great adventure so far and I am so thankful to have Michele here with me, every step of the way.
