Here are some basic facts:
- method was penile inversion
- I opted for full-depth rather than a vulvoplasty
- surgery took 3 hours, though recovery took another hour
- I went under general anaesthesia and had to be intubated and put on a ventilator
- I’m currently admitted in the hospital and bed bound, discharge is scheduled for Friday
- so far pain is between 1 and 3 for me, most of the time it’s between a 0 and 1.
Ask me anything!
As a surgical tech in the process of switching over to nursing:
How was your healthcare team? What did they do that stood out as good / is there anything they could have done better?
I hardly ever get trans patients, but I want to make sure their experience is as good as I can make it.
