After nearly 10 years of waiting, it finally happened for me on Monday. Today (Thursday) I will get out of bed for the first time, which is going to be painful. Tomorrow my bandages come off. It’s all a bit unreal for me still. I kinda thought I’d never reach this milestone. The easy part of lying unconscious is done, now for the deliberate work of recovery.


I did think maybe I should post to trans joy but I saw a 196 post and the rule forced my hand 😔
Crosspost! If this isn’t also trans joy, I’ll eat my hat.
Why not just post it again? There’s enough joy in this moment to share :3
