hello friends who have had wisdom teeth out im asking for advice bc google is not helping🧍🏻‍♂️🧍🏻‍♂️🧍🏻‍♂️

cw: blood ment; food/potentially disordered eating bc post-op 🫡

um so i have no SEEN a blood clot form (it has been 48hrs since surgery) but i got stitches over the area and ive had a friend in oral health say that stitches = no visible blood clot, and a cousij who said she couldnt see blood clots either but she was fine 🧍🏻‍♂️

ik im being paranoid fr and ig its just a matter of waiting to find out if i'll get dry socket (its not like i can force a blood clot to form yknow) but did anyone else not have a visible blood clot and still heal fine?

(theres the potential that its just so far back and i cant ooen my mouth wide enough to see?)

ALSO ALSO like ik soft food diet is okay but like. im so scared that even having soup touch the site and it not being cleaned out properly (seeing as i cant rinse properly or use a syringe to flush the area yet) will lead to complications 🧍🏻‍♂️ im avoiding foods that need chewing obvs but like. pumpkin soup w the fibres (idk like its still textured yknow) in it, or cháo (congee? lugaw????) or even like. oat porridge 🧍🏻‍♂️

like im getting so anxious when eating ANYTJING (literally sipping broth/nước lèo made me so stressed i almost cried) but ik i need to eat more and the pumpkin soup thing is the nest i can do but yeah it still makes me so anxious

(for context; i only had one tooth out 🧍🏻‍♂️ i know im definitely being super paranoid.)

when i was younger i did have much more complicated dental surgery (went under gen. anaesth.) and i mean i survived that without dry socket or anything, and whatever diet i was on then got me through (ngl i tjink i had like chocolate milk for a week straight, maybe sustagen/ensure as well?) but for some reason my anxiety now is WAYYYY worse 🫠🫠

I said my MRI report would be anything but boring

I hope this doesn’t mean more surgery

I did the dishes for the first time since my surgery! I didn't get everything inti the dishwasher, but we are out of spoons and cat bowls and the way the dishes keep piling up no one else was gonna do it until we needed them RIGHT THEN.

my fellow transmascs: i know dysphoria can be a demon but try to remember that cis men also have fat, muscle, and yes, mammary tissue on their chests. you do not need to be concave to pass!!!

[shepfax]

top surgery pros: gender euphoria, freedom from painful binders, being doted on while I recover

top surgery cons: can't hold most of my cats for like two months post-op (above the surgeon-advised lifting limit)

Surgery went well!

So good news! I'm under no restrictions, they want me to slowly start moving my arm. I only need to wear the sling at night or for comfort, I can't get the sutures wet, and I can start just taking the Aleve and Tylenol for pain (but if I feel I need the stronger stuff, I can take it). The nurse said most of what they took out was inflamed bursa tissue and a couple of centimeters of the distal clavicle was shaved off to prevent more issues in the future. They want me to do the exercises I was given, and will see how I'm doing at the PostOp appt on the 27th to see if I need physical therapy or not (I'm going to wear the sling for today at the very least).

So all in all this is the best outcome and I'm hoping because most of what they removed was inflamed tissue that it'll heal up quickly. I just wish I hadn't been made to deal with the pain for a year and 9 months before surgery was an option to help this to heal, but at least I won't be stuck in a sling for as long as I thought I was going to be (I thought I was going to be in it for at least a month, but instead it'll just be at night while I sleep for the next 2 weeks).
