Got myself wondering how much pain etc from uterus and Co I just wasn't registering and/or was suppressing a lot because I gave the cat some kibble via this little squat-crouch-bend that didn't hurt but didn't make a huge mess either.

And then I observed that doing the same thing literally two days ago WOULD have hurt! I don't.... know how to feel about this. #yeeterus #hysterectomy #postop #postopthoughts #yeeteruspostop #postophysterectomy

Good luck for the operation!

,,, #SoCal WOULD pick the day I'm yeeting my uterus (a #yeeterus, my favorite term) to have a forecasted high of 106F/41.1C. Thanks, California. #CAwx

I'm still tired a lot, but doing OK other than frequent low-grade headaches & the occasional migraine. Those suck.

Super excited about never having a period again though, so it's worth it. I'll take headaches over dysphoria any day.

I just wish I wasn'y so damn tired all the time - I was hoping that I'd have more energy by now. Alas.

@anxiousrage those are the big-rocks/high-level points, but happy to dive in further on any element or detail you want (including initial ideas about changes in my body, sex, etc.). i definitely recommend Reddit on this front (this particular sub is very friendly and supportive), and you might also follow some tags here including #hysterectomy and #yeeterus :D

also, just a heads up to beware of several easily googleable sites that are basically scaremongering.

(update #yeeterus day 16)

^^ this was a migraine and it was awful (and I can feel lingering effects 10 days later). Do not like. Healing well, otherwise.

Mute the #Yeeterus hashtag if you're not interested in my #hysterectomy adventures!

I'm mostly keeping this to help me take notes for my doctor. But I hope my notes help someone else 💜💚

DAY 16?

#RemindMe to talk to doctor about this being a clinical #migraine

https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/migraine-signs-symptoms/

Cause damn.
Those stages & symptoms are spot on.

I still have neck pain & a low-grade headache, but I'm glad I'm not dealing with a pair of icepicks in my head while 🤢

Cause damn. I'm still having neck pain & low-grade headache

I'm still recovering nicely from my #hysterectomy and I'm having an unexpected #GenderAffirming side effect:

I'm now obligated to take an early afternoon #DadNap every day 😄

#Yeeterus #Enby #NonBinary #GenderQueer

I feel so much better.

Other than some difficulty bending over & the occasional low-grade headache, I'm doing really well.

It helps that I'm really good at sleep-healing & like naps 😴

I'm glad my #HRT patch hasn't started to wear off - that 36-48 hours of #menopause was awful.

Scientology should really suggest a #hysterectomy as a way to quickly & cleanly get rid of Thetan clusters. 'Cause, damn, I finally feel healthy & demon-free.

#yeeterus

I think I'm writing these so I can keep using the hashtag #Yeeterus & to make it easier for me to make notes for my doctor.

I hope this helps someone else who's going through (or considering) a #hysterectomy

So, I experienced nearly 48 hours of #menopause before the #HRT patch kicked in. I am feeling human again, which is nice. Being able to keep down solid food again is a bonus.

0/10, do not recommend menopause. I'm glad it's over. Right? ... RIGHT?!

Started #HRT #today - it's helped a lot. #Menopause officially sucks, but I think it's still worth it.

Still having a hard time holding anything down. Even plain water has been difficult at times. I'm having pretty good luck with ginger ale right now :)

#yeeterus #hysterectomy

I think #menopause kicked in this morning, but I can't start my #HRT until tmr morning

Gross: I threw out my neck while throwing up

Which triggered an "Am I actively dying?" headache. It felt like a pair of kidney stones, in my brain. Sitting in a hot shower helped

Then came the #HotFlashes

Doing better now, but still nauseous. At least I can hold down water. And my hubby gave me a very helpful neck rub, so I feel human again

#Yeeterus #Hysterectomy

Please send your thoughts and prayers - I need to be awake in 5 hours for my #Yeeterus but I can't fall asleep.

I'm excited & scared & anxious & ready to DO THIS. Got my #GhostClothes ready to go, just in case.

Hmm... I should bring my good slippers too. If I die, I don't want to be stuck in those FUCKING HOSPITAL SOCKS for eternity. #HardPass

It's my last day of work for 3 weeks! They gave me so many samples of new THC products to help my recovery 🥰

#Today Work, then try the new maple-sugar candies. I should finish watering my cacti, too.

#Tomorrow Running last-minute errands with my #SplendaDaddy then cleaning my bathroom. Then doing one last load of laundry.

#Thursday is #Yeeterus day! I ain't looking forward to having to be in #Minneapolis by 5 AM, but it'll be worth it.

HOORAY!

☺️ Only 4 more #Sleeps till my #Yeeterus 🏥

🥂 Instant #Menopause & no more #period related #dysphoria for me! 🎉

I guess the physical is just to make sure that I'm healthy enough for my #hysterectomy - I'm not sure what to expect. I've already had the pre-op ultrasound.

* Is it just gonna be a normal physical?

* Anything I should, or shouldn't, bring up?

* General advice and/or wisdom?

My hormone plan is: whatever tf is best for my body. I want to identify as a functional human being for once in my life.

#Enby #Yeeterus

#Fuck

If I don't get over this #COVID in the next couple of days, I'll have to reschedule my pre-op medical exam.

Which probably means rescheduling my #Yeeterus

BODY - BE HEALTHY NOW! NOW, GAWDAMMIT.

Fuck fuck #fuckity fuck fuck #fuuuuuuuuucckkk

Now I gotta call my doctor tomorrow #FuckityFuck

Post #yeeterus surgery I'm trying to get more of a handle on my calories since my weight is creeping up a bit more than expected... -Cronometer seems pretty good but doesn't really have an Aussie database
-Myfitnesspal is evil? I think? Can't remember why I deleted my account there
-Ditto calorieking.com.au (I don't think this lot have an app but I guess I don't need one)

Anyone know of a non-evil, privacy-forward Aussie tracker? If it's free EVEN BETTER 🦄

Trying to get back into #yoga post #yeeterus & it's been so rough getting my body to comply. I'm weak as a kitten, zero balance. I'm struggling hard doing #YogaWithAdriene when it was a breeze a few months ago

I think my formerly sturdy core was mainly made of inflammation & scar tissue 😄💀
