Doing okay. Back at work after a full month off for FFS. Convinced the nurse to let me do virtual followup appointments going forward. Just feeling a little tired getting back to normal but happy to be out of hotels finally.

I managed to go alone to a trans event that I didnt know anyone at. Wow I hate going to events alone I do not function well alone in loose social situations in rooms I've never been before, but how else are you suppose to meet people and not go alone next time...
I have consults on the calendar for both my orchi and vaginoplasty!
Orch consulti is next month, vaginoplasty consult is OCTOBER 2028 HOLY SHIT
I'm very happy with the surgeon I chose for the VP, so I don't think I'll shop around too much, but I'm trying to decide if it's worth the effort of getting on a wait list for another surgeon.
Quite good! Recovery from bottom surgery is coming along quite nicely and Friday marked exactly five weeks post op. I'm already back to almost-normal days, just missing work. I can sit down at cafés, even without a cushion, I can make short train trips such as one on Tuesday to get my estrogen prescription refilled. I also got a costume for the local carnival which will be in three weeks. I took the opportunity and decided to get a catsuit to immediately use my new privilege of being able to wear one without worry! I won't go all out during carnival but I have tickets for a queer party and will have breakfast with friends on another day that week. I also heard back from a job I've been waiting for for months and they finally invited me for an interview in February! If that works out, I'll start a traineeship in April which would be very exciting and also a job straight out of college. Let's hope the best for that, my friends are struggling to find jobs left and right.
I also had a photoshoot on Friday for the cover of a podcast I'm starting with a friend which was fun! We want to talk about how we perceive queer media and how cishet romance is dead lol. Let's see how that works out. I finally went to the hair salon to have them cut my bangs in preparation for that and it made me feel sooo good because they were way too long! Couldn't go because of surgery. All in all, I still notice that I have to rest more than normal, but I'd say I'm back to 75% again, not too bad for 5 weeks post-op. :)
