Hey, I'm just going around and tryint to see if any of my followers would be willing to help me reach my consult amount here soon that's due because of covid put me off work for awhile and losing family members also has put a bind on me getting the rest of the amount in time. I'd appreciate anyrhing; god bless

I'm broke as fuck but if any of the three people who follow me can help please do

I've lost 10 pounds in the 2 weeks since surgery

Idk if I should be concerned

Having weird drainage from the left incision so we have to go back to Boston tomorrow 🙃🙃🙃

[oskardotexe]

Got the bandages off! I'm so happy with the results. Today was the first time it felt real. Because I was so bandaged after surgery I couldn't see anything. It's surreal honestly. I fought for this body for 5 years. I wore a binder 7 days a week for 5 years. I feel incredible

Top surgery!!!!

I had double incision chest reconstruction with Dr. Oren Ganor at Boston children's hospital.

This picture was after my second surgery, I had to be brought back in because of excessive bleeding (lost 2 pints/1 liter of blood) which caused hypovolemia (not fun lol) I stayed the night there and they kept waking me up to give me medicine.

Had a catheter in because they gave me so much fluid in the OR the second time, but it was causing so much pain (literally like someone was scraping my bladder with a hot needle) I convinced them to take it out. But after the second surgery, and the removal of the catheter I felt way better. They told me that the excess bleeding isn't unheard of and wasn't an incredibly rare occurrence. But they fixed me up.

I'm gonna be fine, and my recovery time was not at all effected. Currently I'm in a non-trivial amount of pain, but most of my current discomfort comes from the stiff neck I got from sleeping in a weird position last night (I'm a side sleeper mostly, so sleeping on my back wasn't super comfortable) we're heading home tomorrow, then have a follow up in a week, at which time they will (unless there's another significant problem) remove the drains and bandages. Very excited to see my new chest!!!! I wasn't able to after surgery because they bandaged it super tightly so I didn't bleed a lot more

Currently chilling, feeling super sleepy from the oxy they sent me home with

Kinda feeling down rn my surgery was rescheduled for 6 days later than they told me it would be, they said it's "because of my weight" like I gained 100 lbs between the consult and the exam. I've been this weight, why did they even schedule me for a Friday when they knew I might need to stay over. Also idek if my insurance covers a night in the hospital so....

I got approved for top surgery!!!! This is life changing. I thought I’d be more excited if I’m honest. I think its because I’ve been waiting so long it feels more like a relief than a gift. IDK regardless I AM happy and excited. They said they can do it sometime in October, thats so soon!! This is my last summer with a binder.

why can't i be vulnerable, why can't i be serious. this is why people don't like me

Being trans is not something shameful, it's not ugly, it's not one thing. Trans people have always existed, everywhere in all shapes and sizes.

I will never be cis, nothing will ever make me a cis man. I made peace with that fact a very long time ago, and I take pride in my transness, and I'm at a point where I wouldn't choose to be cis even if I could.

I have never been happier with my body and how I look. As a fat trans man, my relationship with my body will always be complicated, but I'm reaching I point where my body feels like a place a can stay.

Happy TDoV!

Matilda had to have surgery today, two nights ago I noticed something weird on her toe. I looked at it closely and was immediately concerned. I emailed the vet to set up a video appointment for the next day. We decided she needed to be brought in. We brought her up this morning and after a quick exam they confirmed what I already thought: an open fracture. We decided the best thing to do would be to remove the toe. My other option was to try to keep it clean and hope it heals, and doesn't become nacrotic. I didn't want to risk her losing her whole foot or her whole leg.

They took her in, sedated her did the amputation and had her back out to me, all within 2 hours. When she came out she was doing very well and getting around just fine.

I have no idea how this injury happened. I'm just glad shes alright

(first pic is of the injury, second is her right after they brought her out)

Hope you're all staying healthy and sane

From our quarantine to yours
