16/3/2018 0 Comments And it is done!This past Tuesday, I had my orchiectomy!
Monday night, I had to begin my prep, which was showering with some disinfectant soap. Boy, that stuff burned! I had to repeat that again in the morning. My wife and I drove in for my 8:00am check in without issue. We made our way to the 5th floor and checked in. It didn't take long and I was carted off to get ready for surgery. To say I was a bit scared, would be an understatement! Soon, I was rolled down the hallways end into the surgical center. I was transferred to the operating table and soon a mask was put over my face. As the gas flowed, I felt like I was just about to panic, since I couldn't get a breath. The next thing I knew, someone was yelling my name. Well, that's what it felt like anyway. I came to in a recovery room. It was done. After they felt like I was OK, we got to head down a secret exit and have our car brought out to us without any waiting! We then went out to a lovely lunch at the Red Cow. Anna had never been, but it was on her list of places to try. It was fabulous like always. Anna loved it too. Home after that to recover. And that was pretty much where I stayed for the next 2 1/2 days. On the couch with ice packs and cats. Overall, the recovery has been far, far easier than I had feared! I had had a vasectomy about 25 years ago and recovery for that was horrible. I swelled to the size of a grapefruit. This time, the swelling I have had was minimal and there wasn't any stretching of the skin. Pain was also very manageable. The worst part was the constipation caused by the narcotics. I only took the narcotics for a day, but it wasn't until last night where things started moving again. Today, I am back at work. I am taking things slowly. I feel very good overall at this point. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel having it done, but now that it is done, I must say that I am ecstatic! I have eliminated one med and reduced the estrogen that I take. Even with some swelling, there is a noticeable lack of something between my legs. I absolutely love it. I can hardly wait to see if I experience any additional feminization! There is a strong likelihood that I will!
