Queer Feelings

So far everything “down below” is pretty much without feeling. However, there’s definitely some sort of queer feelings from my bladder. Today, after two days on a catheter I began “bladder training”. This involves unplugging the collection bag and capping off the drain on my side.. That’s really no big deal. However, releasing things causes some sort of a vacuum in the bladder. It’s a feeling I can’t really describe.

I’ve been up walking 4 times today and I had a short visit with Marlee (she leaves tomorrow) and Miranda. Miranda and I are sort of “vagina mates” since we both had our surgery on the same day. She’s at the far end of the hall. The walk there was OK but I soon found that I wasn’t feeling very social.

its best night and day, to make you everybody but
yourself - means to fight the hardest battle which any
human being can fight, and never stop fighting."
