On a lighter note, the healing process of the #orchi is going smoothly.

But another thing is that in a week from Friday? It'll be two years since my #eggcrack . So be prepared for some storytime on the 11th.

Okay, woke up and feel quite a bit less sore around the incision site today than I did yesterday. Sleep, icepacks, and the occasional piankiller are working nicely.

The only things that kept me up a bit late at night? My #dogs begging for water refills right as I'm about to nod off, me switching out between one of my 3 icepacks as one of them stops being cold, and me getting up to have to go pee.

But on the flipside, I was at check-in for the #orchi when the lady behind the counter told me that the #Medicaid (via Healthy Indiana Plan) covering the surgery was still 'pending' and it is possible that they could deny coverage for the surgery.

If it is indeed denied, it is officially time for a GFM to pay off the medical debt.

Keep your eyes peeled for it.

At 8:30 AM on 6/24/2025, I had my #orchi . Yes, I told my anasthesiologist "Do it, no balls!" before they activated the IV.

With this heatwave, I likened the trek to the final stretch to destroy the One Ring (or in this case, my Two Balls) in #LordOfTheRings . In this case, I'd be Frodo, my sister who drove me would be Samwise, my brother and my brother-in-law would complete the Hobbits of the Fellowship, and my IRL trans friends would be the rest of the Fellowship.

But taking it easy with icepacks, comfort food, and responsible usage of painkillers.

Looking at the #Skrmetti decision on #BlueSky . I'll be talking with my supportive family about it. And about us moving to Illinois if possible.

Given the passport decision yesterday, that's one thing I aim to get while I'm in post- #orchi recovery.

But if we weren't already, we're in the 'Jim Crow' era for #trans people. I'm fucking terrified for the future.

One week until #orchi . And bottom #dysphoria is re-emerging like a regrown Hydra head. It feels like it's back with a vengeance (for now)...and I HATE it.

Fortunately, I also feel as though it'll be a gigantic relief once I wake up from the IV and see that the awkward bulge-causers are no longer there.

I'm at the point where I feel as though I should get the ball rolling [no pun intended] on #vaginoplasty while I still can.

I'm also glad I banked sperm before starting #HRT. I am less on-the-fence on at least one bio-kid (provided I'm with a long-term stable partner who feels the same), so I'm glad I didn't slam the door shut. I'd probably prefer carrying a child myself, but I've begrudgingly accepted that isn't in the cards for any #transwoman alive today. So I made do with what I could.

But I'll be out of work for 3 weeks following surgery. And I've offered any #trans friends locally to visit me at my house to check up on me while I'm recovering.

Less than 2 weeks until I tell my surgeon "Do it, no balls!" right before they put the IV in me for the #orchi .

Heading to two local #pride events this week. And will meet up with #queer friends there.

If I get an #ICE raid happening in my city (not likely as its a small town, but you never know), I know a local group that'd do their damnedest to hold them back. Only thing stopping me is if they invade my town while I'm recovering from my orchi. Can't do much help while I'm healing myself, right?

It is 100% official.

On Tuesday, June 24th at 8:30 PM, I will be under the knife for an #orchi . Consultation was today.

I can't wait to get these balls out of me.
