Stitches are out now

OK, so I took out her stitch yesterday. Yes, stitch as in singular. Dr. Kimmel used a unique method of a running stitch that makes it extremely easy for removal once you find the knot that needs to be cut.

If you haven't read about it already, I have a strong medical background and know how to do these things properly. I would not suggest doing it yourself unless you have a good background in medical procedure.

Everything looks great and the swelling has gone done significantly over the past two weeks. While we're anxiously awaiting the ready time to test the equipment out as it were, we are waiting it out to avoid any possible threat of infection.

I think that about covers it for now, the mood swings are down, but the libido sure isn't.

More as it happens. Have a great day!!

Oh my freaking God!!!

OK... I know I'm a couple weeks past where I wanted to post, but I've been a little bit busy the past couple weeks. Yeah, I said I've. Someone was off her feet for a bit there, and I never realized just how it would be if I was to shoulder the burden of doing everything and taking care of her at the same time.

I have sore muscles from pushing her around in a wheelchair and am constatnly exhausted from the lack of sleep.

OK, so it really isn't that bad. But is was pretty tiring.

The healing is coming along quite nicely, and I think that by the time we get to the stitches coming out (Wednesday... I am going to try to video it for the blog, but I may just get my head handed to me for that.)

Other than a little irritation from the shaving and the annoyance of the stitches, she is pretty well there. No nookie for another 2 freaking weeks tho. I don't know if I can make it that long.

I have noticed a marked decrease in the mood swings and a significant drop in anger issues as well.

I'll keep an eye on it when she goes back on the hormones (early Nov.) and see what happens.

On that note, I thin I am going to try to crawl into bed and get some shut eye.

Later Kiddos!!

Bye Bye Boys!!!

OK... decided to try something a little different this time. I took the camera with me and recorded some random moments of thought during the day of her Orchiectomy.



So... here you go folks...

Becuase I am an idiot, I forgot to upload the first video, so it becomes PART 0

PART 4 (The Last One.. i promise...



I apologize for the low audio in some parts... turn up your volume a little bit. I'm going to probably do a typed blog on Sunday if I can get a little rest between now and then... I'm pushing 40 hours since I got up yesterday, so I think it's time to go sleepy time now :)
