Post Day 0 – I Have No Idea

I really don’t remember when this picture was taken. I suspect it’s shortly after surgery, ’cause seriously, I don’t look that bad all the time. But finding that picture on my camera is making me somewhat fearful of what other pictures Shaft might have taken while I was unconscious ! 🙂

Anyways … this is Day 0 … post surgery … and it sucked. I really don’t remember much. Shaft took super good care of me … and even showed me a good time … apparently we crashed a wedding party on the way back to our hotel. We didn’t stay long, as I guess the bride was a bit jealous of all the attention I was getting … bitch.

Anyways, from what I do remember …

I really had no appetite … totally not typical Amy. I think I had a couple of little applesauce cups throughout the rest of the day and night … and I munched on some crackers. However, I was really, really thirsty. I simply could not get enough water, orange juice and Vernor’s.

I never threw up, which was something I set as a personal objective. Why? I don’t know … just something I decided upon moments prior to getting that little needle of anesthesia poked into me … weird stuff goes through your mind sometimes prior to surgery.

The nasal packing was beyond uncomfortable. In fact, it’s a new torture I might implement when dealing with Darth someday.

And the liposuction was terribly painful. It’s by far the most painful of the pain. Though if I had to choose between the liposuction pain and the nasal packing discomfort … I’d go with the liposuction pain as that nasal packing was simply unbearable !!

My lips didn’t feel that large.

My left eye was completely swollen shut while my right eye remained slightly open, but it was still pretty swollen. I had a fair amount of bruising that progressed over the first 24 hours.

They gave me a catheter which made going to the restroom the first few times after surgery rather painful. As a result, an unexpected burning and very painful sensation greeted me the first few times I urinated after surgery.

Also what greeted me … two of the largest testicles I have ever seen !! And they were totally black and blue !! Now granted, I’m TS, so I actually was proud of how “small” I used to be, concerned only that the good docs of the future would have sufficient quantities of usuable material for creating the Amy Fun Center … but apparently the liposuctioooon causes a swelling and black and bluing in the male genital region !! Holy krap !! I’ve been icing down the rotten fruit for days now but it still looks like I have two rotten oranges and an over-ripe banana … oh well. Just for the record, I haven’t taken pictures of that !

Let’s see … what else … I slept in small increments … two or three hours at a time … a hit of Vicodin, some steriod pills for some purpose, something to drink, and then some more sleep …

I don’t remember much from the first 12 hours post op. Shaft picked me up apparently around 5:30 p.m. or so and took me back to our hotel room where I recovered. It was all totally outpatient. Dr. Z checked in on us with a call around 7:30 p.m. and another around 11:00 p.m. I don’t remember the calls. I think Shaft got some Wendy’s for dinner, but I can’t say that for certain.

Most prominent thoughts afterwards … my stomach hurts soooo bad and I can’t see anything done on my face through these bandages … except that it looks like my lower part of my face is bigger than it was going in … please just be the swelling !!
