ive been wiped out physically and emotionally all day today. recovery is not a linear process, and today was a significant dip.

but some combination of reconnected nerves and diminished swelling and ennervation-numbed skin chilling the fuck out means that i can feel the bed sheets on my mons this evening and its delightfully novel and exciting. so its not all troubling developments today.

i wonder what tomorrow will bring.

#MimsV

it has been a day of zaps. nerves reconnecting feels like little electric shocks, mostly little, some big, and a couple today that made me yelp out loud. its all good and its all progress but its kind of been A LOT today.

dilation is also shifting from a purely mechanical exercise and into… ahem. i need to stay perfectly focused on chaste thoughts. i feel like an actual sexual response would tear everything apart, which is irrational, i know. still intimidating.

TIME TO DILATE AGAIN!!!

#MimsV

so i went into this with zero aesthetic hopes. vaginoplasty was fully covered by manitoba health, i wasnt gonna complain if the end result was a crude, frankenstein approximation. functional was my highest hope.

and immediately after, bruised and swollen and bristling with sutures, thats what she looked like. i was still content.

but the bulk of the swelling has gone down now, the bruises are almost faded. and oh gosh, fam. she's beautiful.

she's so cozy tucked up where shes supposed to be. i kind of despise most uses of the words "supposed" and "should" but i really have no better words. its just… right.

what they told me: there's a piece of gauze between labia majora and minora thats held in place by a blood clot; once things have healed itll come out on its own. it may fall out in bits and pieces. just throw the gauze scraps away

what they did NOT tell me: the gauze may come out when youre not looking and you'll be like: where'd it go? did it go inside? (which is bad) and you will never ever know what happened to it. live with the mystery forever

#MimsV

surprising nobody but myself, the morning after my 22-hour day of packing, airline travel, unpacking, and of course four dilation sessions, my body is not at all happy with me.

but after this session i get to shower in my own shower, and start unfucking my hair.

home safe, caught up on bridgerton, doing a midnight dilation session.

and thus closeth this chapter of #MimsV

vaguely disappointed my dilators went through security without any comment

i want my rite of passage dammit!
