The above issues are almost entirely gone. I can sleep on my side again (though still with an ice pack between my legs), I can cuddle my girlfriends, bathroom trips are okay now. Walking and sitting still suck, but are getting better

See, you get me

This, too, is yuri

On the bright side, I’m healing surprisingly quickly and most of the above issues have gotten significantly better and are actually mostly gone. The first week was miserable, second was rough but better, third is going really well so far. Every day brings me closer to normalcy, and I’m so excited

I hate sleeping on my back. Using the bathroom is a chore. Walking around must be done a few minutes at a time. Moving my legs in the Wrong Way causes pain, and so does sitting. I can’t cuddle my girlfriends the way I want to and I miss it so much

Surgery went well by the way! I woke up a couple times yesterday, got some good rest, the hospital food was surprisingly good, and pain is minimal so far. Overall, this has been a great experience!

We can get through this. We’ve each been through worse on our own, and we’re not alone this time 💜
