01/23/17 A few days ago, i put a binder on for the first time since surgery. And holy sheeeiit did it hurt. I lasted about an hour and had to take it off. I know that I have to be patient and wait for my body to heal but I feel like it's taking sooooo looooong. But hey. That's a real ass motha' fuckin' smile.

14 weeks on T 5 months post breast reduction

Hormone related changes are few this week. There are probably things changing that I haven’t noticed yet or is just normal to me already. I haven’t been able to really be emotional. My junk still is sensitive. Face hairs are growing back after shaving them four days ago.

I’m so used to having less of a chest now that this seems like it’s always been the case. I’m still not comfortable with my chest, but I’m good enough to walk around shirtless. There are random shooting pains in both sides. It doesn’t happen often but when it does it’s not fun. There’s nothing to help it. I don’t have much feeling in my chest anymore which makes it bizarre if someone else touches me. It still feels good. It’s just a weird low sensitivity level that I have to get used to. I think that the pains are related to A. binding and B. maybe my body is trying to restore feeling there.

I graduated college two days ago. It’s new and exciting and scary. I’m spending the next two weeks in Arizona which I’m incredibly excited for. So yea. 14 weeks on T, 5 months post op.
