i have been vaginalized

#MimsV

pussyfication 100% complete

#MimsV

Lo, i am becunted!

#MimsV

OMG so many pins and needles

like ill get to the actual surgery pain eventually but wowwww so many pins and needles

#MimsV

okay so its way too early to really feel anything physically that will correspond to how ill feel later, but…

…this already feels so so right. 🥲

#MimsV

also i havent mentioned but should: @faithisleaping volunteered to accompany me to the clinic from admission to recovery and has been an incredible rock through the whole experience.

thank you SO MUCH, honey. its meant the world to me.

#MimsV

"what is this uncomfortable bulky cold thing between my legs?"

"…oh right. ice packs. because surgery."

my dumbass brain, everybody!

i was told "eventually you have days you forget you even had surgery" and apparently brain decided to speedrun that

#MimsV

also kegels feel different

since we're marching in the Obvious Parade, figured id just throw that one in

#MimsV

thank goddess for protein bars forgotten in the bottom of my purse

#MimsV

my genitals this morning: okay what the FUCK just happened?!

#MimsV

that was more sugar at breakfast than i have had in a LONG time

fruit! juice! jam! wheee!

gotta get those calories to power all this healing!

#MimsV

ah yes. hospital time.

"in five or so minutes" = "sometime in the next hour. maybe."

#MimsV

me to two nurses: i need my sleeping bonnet.

white nurse: your what?

Black nurse: yes you do. here.

#MimsV

look, just because i had major abdominal surgery yesterday doesnt mean i cant do a workout today. ;)

i walked! all the way around the very small clinic floor!

#MimsV

omg the farts

transition may have been a mistake

#MimsV

i have so much ice in my underwear i look like i have a cow udder.

…which is not the fetish i came here for!

#MimsV

okay im ready to be done with lying in bed.

i made it… checks clock… 30 hours.

can i be done with recovery, now?

id kill for a run on a treadmill right now.

#MimsV

i have an ITCH that i cannot SCRATCH because first of all its under a metric kiloton of bandages and ice and secondly because i have no idea where that bit of skin actually is anymore.

bit of skin: heyyy i could use a little scratchy-scratch

me: im sorry

skin: right heeeerrree

me: i dont know where that is!!

#MimsV

transferred to convalescent hotel. dont have to lie in bed all day! can stand, can walk around, can… okay, can feel light-headed and lie back down again.

but i did see a copy of Azul under the coffee table…

#MimsV

almost have whiplash. went from "the nurses will take care of everything so you dont have to move" to "okay, here's how you do all the things you have to do, we're here to support you but mostly you do everything yourself."

and like sure makes sense but… that transition happened in about thirty minutes flat! my head is spinning. 🤣

#MimsV

im like suddenly an adult in charge of her own damn self again.

feels weird.

#MimsV

im leaning up against my room's very decorative support pillar rather than laying down cause im so tired of laying down

#MimsV

just checked the transit app to see what the bus line closest to the gender clinic is.

i shit you not, its 69.

#MimsV

just sittin on a lump of ice, now. this is my life.

#MimsV

the irony of my being antsy and not wanting to lie here in bed is that i would have been fine doing that before i became a gym bunny, but i became a gym bunny to prepare for this.

#MimsV

NO, brain, this is NOT a good time for a sex dream!

#MimsV

i have never in my life wanted so bad to poop

omg

#MimsV

omfg best poop of my life

#MimsV

i cannot help but imagine my organs shuffling around getting accustomed to the new layout, like clerical workers moving into a new office.

bladder: okay but where do i file my outgoing?

rectum: im wondering the same thing and why are you in my way?

bladder: ive got such a backlog, hold on. oh, i have a handy tube!

rectum: why dont i get a handy tube?

vagina: hey guys!

rectum: who the fuck are you?

bladder: she's the new girl.

urethra: guys? guys? hello? where the fuck am i?!

#MimsV

just casually said the phrase "my labia" and whoa what the fuck

#MimsV

i get to shower tomorrow.

i want to shower today.

now, in fact.

i want to be in a shower right now instead of tooting.

or lets be honest: in the shower and still tooting, just not the fediverse version. 🍑🎺

#MimsV

the optimized sequence of actions in different rooms that comprise my mornings feels an awful lot like those text-based gender bender slice of life games i used to play.

#MimsV

i went OUTSIDE!!! :D

#MimsV

Dammit @NicolaElle we forgot to take a selfie!

anyway Nikki was here. i promise. i have no photographic proof but i swear she was here.

#MimsV

i miss sleeping on my side

#MimsV

i just put my dilation schedule onto my calendar.

jebus freakin crow.

that is so much time.

#MimsV

well that was a fun emotional freakout trainwreck

#MimsV

@faithisleaping trainwreck was nominally about other stuff, except it was actually about this and everything else and the enormity of everything.

have i mentioned the bandages come off tomorrow?

it's an evening of feelings.
