The Big "O"

    I had to deliberate for a while as to whether or not I should post this in my blog as my Mum reads it, but this is my only record of my transition, my only diary, and I’m sure she won’t mind really, she’s not such a prude. Be warned though, mummy – this is a bit personal!

    Don’t anyone read on if you are at all prudish, but this is my corner of the internet and I’ll write what I like, hopefully not breaking any Tweb rules in the process, and this is quite a big thing for me. The clue is in the title…

    The "Manual" from the Suporn clinic says we should wait 3 months before attempting penetrative sex, but encourages us to "take ownership" of our new body and not be afraid to explore it. So, 2 months post-op, curiosity got the better of me and after dilating last night I did a bit of exploration. Things have been too sore in places and too hyper-sensitive in others to do so before now, at least as far as enjoyment is concerned, but everything is gradually settling down and is becoming pleasant to the touch. Extremely so, actually. Suffice to say that everything is functioning well, the re-wiring is good, no open circuits anywhere, and within a few minutes of enjoyable exploration I, um, it, err…

    Well, it was very lovely, you know what I’m trying to say don’t you?

    Everything works, wee-hee!

    It’s wonderful to know that everything is in order in that department, though I would have gladly foregone the ability to achieve orgasm ever again to get the surgery to make me "right", so this is quite a bonus. To be honest though, I never really doubted it. Very few of Dr Suporn’s patients say they can’t orgasm, quite possibly they had problems before their surgery, and in fact none of the ex-patients that I know personally have had any problems. I’d recommend this surgeon to anyone, he is a genius, all his staff are wonderful, the whole experience was truly remarkable, oh I said that last time didn’t I. The fact is, the whole experience continues to be so.

    Needless to say I was feeling very pleased with myself, couldn’t stop smiling, couldn’t help laughing a bit even, and I had the best night’s sleep since I got back from Thailand. And today I feel wonderful, just as any other day, but a bit more so.

    Healing is ongoing, and still has a long way to go really, but everything is starting to look pretty good. There’s still some soreness, but it’s not too bad, comes and goes. Sitting is still uncomfortable, the doughnut cushion remains an essential item, and even with that I don’t want to stay sat for too long. I am driving again though, and allowing myself the occasional glass of wine (not at the same time), so I can shop and stuff, but I have to avoid bending, stretching and lifting so housework is out of the question, no really, it is! So my house is not at its tidiest (anyone who’s been round will be gasping, "My god, could it BE any less tidy…?")

    Anyway I expect it will be a good few months before I am completely back to normal, but things seem to be going pretty well for now, in fact things are pretty bloody brilliant, oh yes.

    Yes, YES, YES !!!
