Getting Nervous
We leave tomorrow for AZ and I'm getting nervous. My anxieties fall into two general categories: travel prep/the travel itself and the unknowns regarding post-op general wellbeing.
Travel:
It's the usual things: what to take/what I can get by without, what am I forgetting, getting to the airport, getting through security, getting into the air
Post-op:
How much pain will there be, how long will I be essentailly confined to bed, will I be able to do some day trips and sightseeing, how much will I be able to lift, how uncomfortable will the trip home be?
Many of the post-op questions impact the packing questions. If I'm OK for day trips then I want to take my new Digital Rebel XT SLR camera. However, it's quite a bit larger and heavier than my old camera and has extra lenses and filters and I wonder if I'll be able to carry the stuff and if it should be packed for the trip.
I've heard lots of conflicting stuff about the post-op pain. Some accounts say that the labiaplasty is more painful than the vaginoplasty. Knowing how invasive the VP is it's hard to believe this as possible. In regards to the breast augmentation a friend said that it felt like getting hit across the chest with a baseball bat but that this feeling only lasted for two days. I know that I'm supposed to limit my lifting afterwards but how much will be possible? After the VP I was able to pull a roll-aboard suitcase. What about after the BA? Again, this impacts the packing.
For me uncertainty is always the worst feeling. I can deal with a situation as long as I know what the situation is. I hate this not knowing!
