GRS and recovery
5 years ago
This past Thursday, March 5th, 2020, I Finally underwent my long awaited-for GRS with Dr. Martinez here at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and so far, I can't be happier! I"m still in recovery in the hospital, but maybe will get to go home sometime tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. All depends on if I can pee and poop when they take the catheter and stent out tomorrow. At last they took the big bolster off that has been sewn between my thighs since around 2 PM Thursday and what a relief that is, let me tell you! Sitting on that was not fun at all!

OP
The immediate week following surgery sucks, don't get me wrong, with the dressings and wound care and all, and the swelling, omg, that's the worst, but if you know this going in and are ready for it, or as ready as you can be, then it's honestly not that bad. And, the mental relief when it's done, and you wake up and realize you are FINALLY complete, or right, or whatever makes you feel wrong to start with is now changed is INDISCRIBIBABLE!!!!
