when will i be trans enough for you for me for anyone

i thought you had to suffer physical and mental anguish seeking perfection that will never come

is it not enough to see beneath layers of skin for 6 months of euphoria until they started to grow again

to sever the connection between womb and me

to identify as nonbinary to identify as a tomboy to identify as just wanting to fucking exist

i will be trans enough for you for me for anyone

because i am trans

because being trans is euphoric excising oneself from the binary boxes forced upon us is liberation of the sweetest taste

no matter what you me anyone says

i am trans enough

we are all trans enough

and when space is not made for us when nonbinary is not enough when you are called woman lite when you are expected to perform femininity or masculinity to a binary standard

then we will make space for ourselves we will carve out our own piece of paradise because finding each other

you me anyone

is life or death

Anyone here specialize in medical stuff for ears?

I've been dealing with an ongoing issue regarding my ears since having covid19 two years ago. It's taken two years for any imaging to be done because the ENT specialist I was sent to couldn't see anything and said I was imagining it. It was only after being stubborn and standing up for myself that he agreed imaging would be useful. Here's what was put in my patient profile regarding today's scan. If you have experience working with ears, please explain what this stuff means.

What it looks like to me is I have the same condition my baby sister has: SCDS or Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome. She was told hers is cause by too much swimming (she calls bullshit), and correcting it will require brain surgery (to plug the holes, the brain needs to be slightly lifted out of the way of the bones).

CT Mastoids (Temporal Bones) wo Contrast

IMPRESSION:

Osseous thinning and likely dehiscence along the bilateral superior semicircular canals.

Unremarkable appearance of the mastoid air cells which are well aerated bilaterally. No significant mastoid effusion or opacification.

COMPARISON: None.

TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images of the temporal bones were obtained at 1 mm intervals. Coronal reconstructions were subsequently performed.

The CT scanner utilized a dose reduction technique.

CT Dose: 480.26 mGy.cm

The external auditory canal is patent.

FINDINGS:

Right temporal bone:

The middle ear cavity is well aerated.

The ossicles are intact.

The scutum is sharp.

There is no evidence of tegmen tympani dehiscence.

The facial nerve demonstrates normal for course and morphology within the temporal bone.

The inner ear structures demonstrate normal density and morphology.

Osseous thinning and likely dehiscence along the right superior semicircular canal.

The internal auditory canal is symmetric in size.

There is no evidence of an enlarged vestibular aqueduct.

The jugular bulb is not dehiscent.

Left temporal bone:

The mastoid air cells are well aerated.

The external auditory canal is patent.

The middle ear cavity is well aerated.

The ossicles are intact.

The scutum is sharp.

There is no evidence of tegmen tympani dehiscence.

The facial nerve demonstrates normal for course and morphology within the temporal bone.

The inner ear structures demonstrate normal density and morphology.

Osseous thinning and likely dehiscence along the left superior semicircular canal.

Dehiscence

(( DWC August 2024 Day 5, Mistake/Wild, CW: None; @daily-writing-challenge ))

Lorellai leaned back over the back of her seat at the cafe, taking a moment to rest. The memories had been relentless, leaving the adventurers and mercenaries to work in shifts to keep them from spreading or threatening settlements. "I swear, if I have to hear that Fizzlebang speech one more time-"

"Come now, according to the records his summoning was a true triumph, save for the part where it killed him," a voice interrupted her, leading her to open one eye to take in the humble looking form of Dagran Thaurissan the second, and then causing her to start and nearly overbalance her chair.

"Oh, um, Dagran, I mean, your highness, I mean, mister Thaurissan-" she started, as he quickly started waving his hands at her.

"Oh please none of that, I get enough of it back home whenever we hire new staff. Just Dagran is fine between you and I. Might I join you? If you aren't too tired that is. I'd love to hear about your work in the dragon isles."

"Oh, um, sure?" Lorellai replied, feeling off balance but motioning to one of the other chairs at the table.

Time seemed to fly by afterwards, as Dagran hungrily soaked up her stories from the Dragonscale expedition, particularly the titan ruins she'd gotten to delve. It flew by so fast, in fact, that both young dwarves lost track of it, until a shadow fell across the table.

"Dagran." Moira's voice was cold steel. "Come away this instant."

They both turned to see the queen looming over them, her displeasure evident on her face, Brann behind her with an apologetic shrug. "I was just getting to know one of Ironforge's champions. There's no harm in that." Dagran replied, evenly, even as he rose. Lorellai noticed him fidgeting with his rings. Was he as nervous about this as she was?

"Not with a Truthhammer there isn't. Go with your granduncle and help him with your grand'da."

"Of course, mother. Lorellai, it was a pleasure," Dagran said, pushing in his chair and joining Brann, leaving Lorellai's gaze trapped by Moira's.

"I, uh, I meant nae offense, yer majes-" Lorellai began, before she was cut off.

"You will stay away from my son. I'm not blind, girl. I see that thing you're carrying," she said, gesturing at Lorellai's holster. "Whatever plan you and your father have cooked up, I won't have it. Abandon your schemes and we'll have no more to discuss. Have I made myself clear?"

"But I haven't do-" "Have. I made myself. Clear?" Moira continued, leaning in close, shadowy magic shining in her eyes.

".. clear, yer majesty."

"Good then. Best of luck in the field to you, Champion." Moira said, pulling back and straightening her dress, before turning on her heel and leaving Lorellai at her table, feeling like a rabbit in Dun Morogh that just encountered a bear.

----------------------

When Moira returned to Magni's side, Dagran was waiting for her with a thoughtful expression on his face. As she sat, he began to continue their signed conversation.

"That was rather uncalled for, Mother."

"Oh?" Moira replied, kneeling at Magni's side. "Was it? To pull you away from the daughter of your father's murderer, even as she flaunts the very weapon that took him from us?"

"She is not Drogar Truthhammer, mother. No more than I am you, or you are Grand'da. And more to the point, the Truthhammer clan's opposition to the Dark Irons faded to nothing years ago. I would see the rift allowed to heal."

"So you're doing this as a King." Moira said, causing Brann to start, wondering what she was talking about.

"I am. You trusted me with the shield. Trust me with this."

"I cannae forgive what he took from us. He would have seen us all dead." Moira replied, tears threatening to escape her eyes as she thought back to that day, her gaze locked with the madman who'd gunned down her husband, and who tried to shoot her as he fled.

"A sin that is his and his alone to bear. If she carries his, then so to do I carry Father's. Is that what you want for me?"

Brann gently laid his hand over Moira's. "You've raised a good son, lass. Wise and clever."

"... Fine," she said at last. "I'll not interfere. But I won't pretend to like it."

Dagran's fingers danced on the book of stories he was opening. "That's all I ask for," he told her, as he began to read the tale of Modimus Anvilmar's ascension to the throne of Ironforge to Magni's comatose form.

6wpo re: The Big Wound

My main, largest, longest-lasting wound was about the size of my thumbnail at largest (and I'm so grateful because I've seen some GNARLY, absolutely huge wound dehiscence on the reduction subreddit) and is now a little bigger than my pinky nail. After weeeeeeks. I won't go check my old posts because uuuuuuugh, but I'm pretty sure it opened at 18dpo. And it's now 42dpo, so this has been a JOURNEY. It was very deep at first and grew from 18 to 25dpo, as it spat an internal stitch, and for the first few weeks after that it didn't change in outward size at all, while it healing from deepest to shallowest.

At my 4wpo appt, my surgeon said the wound was entirely superficial and should heal quickly. She also said continuing to put polysporin on it was fine but I could also put on Silvedene if I had it.

I did, and I did. Sadly. Because it turns out Silvadene kills all DNA and RNA in the area!! And I didn't have an infection, so it just killed off all the wound bed granulation I had been watching creep over the wound bed. So the slow, steady shrinking suddenly stopped and the weeping went way, way up. Instead of changing a mostly-dry dressing once a day, serosanguineous fluid was drenching my hydrocolloid bandages and overflowing them twice a day.

A few days ago I was so tired one night that instead of carefully applying salve and massaging everywhere but my wounds I said fuuuuuck thiiiis and just salved and massaged indiscriminately. Then laid around awhile till my skin felt dry and the salve all soaked in, applied my wound bandages, and went to bed.

The next morning (and every day thereafter!) the large wound is shrinking again! Faster than before! It's still weeping quite a bit but new skin is growing in from the edges so much more quickly than I've seen at any point! All I can figure is that the salve luckily brought more productive bloodflow to the area, which is on a low-circulation area of my chest.

Very, very lucky! I daren't hope this wound will be closed by 7wpo, but perhaps by 8???

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

It has been a decade since my sex-reassignment surgery.

-

I had my SRS 10 years ago.

-

It's been almost 4 years since I had the first stage of my vaginoplasty.

-

I had my second SRS revision surgery.

-

I am getting a second surgery.

-

After my surgery, I was just in such a dark place and I didn't really want to talk about it. I didn't really want to have to go back into it and feel all those feelings over again.

-

I had a few complications. Bleedings, infections.

-

I've had complications and I've had a hard time.

-

I did have some complications and I did have some, you know, concerns that not everybody deals with.

-

I thought it would make me happier, and initially it did. Was that worth the constant issues I've had, the dilation I have to do for the rest of my life?

-

I'm having the worst time with dilation.

-

I was experiencing a little bit of dehiscence, which is basically when you are so swollen that the sutures that they put start to rip open. It was as bad as it sounds.

-

I have trouble urinating. I kind of walked around with it for a year before I seeked help.

-

The reason I'm dilating twice a day is because if I miss once, it is so painful, I like dread it so much because it's so painful.

-

I went to dilate again that night and I think I moved a stitch. I don't know what happened, but something happened, and I was in excruciating pain. It felt like literally somebody had, like, shot me or stabbed me or burned me or something down there.

-

I had to dilate and I had to try to open my urethra up, and it was just like.... yeah, I'm going to start crying.

-

I was bleeding every time. I literally was going to pass out. I threw up because I had so much pain.

-

I remember like, bawling my eyes out saying what did I do? Like, what did I do to myself? I fucked myself up. I was never going to heal from this.

-

My body is constantly trying to heal after surgery, since it considers it to be an open wound.

-

I mean, what can I do except go and have another revision?

-

I remember starting to cry in the surgeon's office because I was like, I'm depressed and I'm in school, it's painful, like, it's just, it's a lot.

-

The issues I had very early on should have been indications to me that I should not have done this. But I hated my male self so much that I needed to. And now there is no way to go back.

-

You can never go back.

-

When you get a surgery, it's not always gonna go well.

-

If I had known about the irreversible physical damage I caused my body, then I would have never done any of this.

-

It's very much a commitment for life. You're going to have to rely on doctors for the rest of your life.

-

Don't be like me and deny problems until it's too late. Rather, address them so you can be happier and live a healthier life.

==

I don't know who, but somebody needs to hear this. Somebody needs to hear that, as much as you hate your body right this moment, you will hate it even more once you're trapped in a malfunctioning body that is still trying to behave the way its genetics instruct it to, and despite your cosmetic intentions. You can never undo it.

Ritchie Herron is a detransitioned man who went through this procedure and now has to live with the consequences, now that he has a constantly closing "neo-vagina" where his genitals are supposed to be.

He explained that the reality of it - even notwithstanding complications - is not explained or well understood by those seeking it. Only the rosy sales brochure version.

So, you don’t get any information at the gender clinic about surgery. They don’t give you any videos, they don’t give you any sort of interactions with others who have got it. For instance, I heard about another clinic that, in their pre-surgery group, they introduced people who had had surgery, and the referral list for surgery dropped dramatically, when people realised what it’s like living like this, and it is very, very difficult. You only hear the positives.

You can't be "born in the wrong body," because you are your body. You and your body are the same organism.

[friendlyshaped]

I see that you have dragons in your writing... May I hear more about them? (Please lore dump if you want!! But also no pressure!!)

yes!!! its not too fleshed out as of right now but i am HEAVILY referencing the adventure time universe (mostly the way it's shown through fionna and cake + some of the late-season multiple ep series! like the islands eps!!!) also referencing httyd for the. dragons. and the nicer version of vikings!!! set in a post-modern world where tech just like Stopped Working One Day. so far into the end of the world and the existence of magic that culture has sort of reversed itself in its own ways. matriarchy, living in ruins, building super rural living areas and just surviving.

the dragons made themselves known at the end of the modern age, became a relied on mode of transport for battle, and then disappeared! now its just those who are chosen by the scale :) my main character (theia) is Not one of the chosen but instead her little brother! and then atthor is passed into her care :) the dynamic is similar to how riders and dragons communicate in httyd, but with theia and atthor its much less spiritual and more. they're sort of assholes to each other??? but atthor only really trusts theia because she's the closest to his bond!

i havent really done much designing in ways of what they look like (apart from atthor) or how many different breeds there are, but im excited to explore that in the future! all i really know now is mounts have a very strong bond with riders, one that is inherently magical and in come cases completely psychic!

and that's sort of it on what i've decided lore-wise?? bc of this i will be spending today fleshing this out though because this was soooo fun to think about. thank u for this ask :D

[wordsforrain]

Re: that last poll, I just thought I’d mention that SCDS can be fixed surgically and while it might not cure everything it will probably help A Lot. Yes I lost some functionality in the canal they plugged but I’ve adapted and it’s unnoticeable most of the time.

I did video consults with Gopen at UCLA and Carey at Hopkins, the two surgeons with the most experience in the US. Ended up going with Carey bc I liked his vibe and have family in the DMV, whose house I could recover at.

The surgery experience was super smooth, even with the unexpected discovery of dura tears and extra time it took to fix it (5 hrs). Carey and his residents checked on me daily when I was recovering in the neuro ward and truly they were all so nice, the nurses and orderlies and custodians and everyone else too.

And somehow, Hopkins worked with my MN-based insurance to get counted as in network for me, which made it waaaaaay cheaper.

Obviously no one ever wants to get intracranial surgery, but if you’ve got SCDS (can you hear your eyeballs move? you’ve got it) and are considering surgery, cannot recommend Dr. Carey and his team highly enough,

🐁♟️🦪🦇⚖️ for Roman, Dee, Vhoxhu :3c

ough ty SO much!!! I'll notate as R, D, and V

🐁 how are this characters ethics?

R: Roman believes he has a very strong moral code/ethics but uhh it's intrinsically warped by the city he grew up in making light of death. He's also at his core somewhat selfish in that he'd sacrifice a lot of other things(/people) for his loved ones.

D: Dee was 'born' in a place that functioned on wild animal rules and as such tends to act like that if left to their own devices (kill/be killed, very little emotional bonds to things). They're even more intensely defensive of a loved one than Roman and would resort to violence really readily

V: The Suffererrrr (Vhoxhu would like to have better ethics but did choose to make a pact with a being that demands human sacrifices on the regular in exchange for extending her own life. She's very nihilistic and tires very hard not to care about anyone but herself.)

♟️describe how they would play chess, if they would.

R: Apparently Roman's pretty darn good at chess! In a recent campaign he rolled I think an 18/20 for it - I think he's spent enough time in libraries and doing mental math that he's picked up actual chess strategies. I think he'd try to be tactical and would absolutely sacrifice pieces to win in the end (though he'd not want to sacrifice knights - too cute - or towers as much)

D: They wouldn't care about it unless someone else they cared about liked it and then they'd learn to play casually. Not a bone of competitiveness in them though!

V: She'd probably be pretty dogshit at it!! I think Vhoxhu could learn the rules just fine and do some absolutely wild techniques to try and win (extremely high risk and high reward) but I don't think her interest in it is high enough to dedicate the needed time for that.

🦪 how would this character describe their gender, if asked?

R: Concepts of gender (and sexuality) are viewed a little differently in Dorna than irl, but there's still enough historical knowledge that Roman would be able to say he's probably a cis guy and (more importantly) a cub. If you trapped him in a conversation about gender he'd admit that he feels a little less powerful (and potentially macho? at least in irl terms) than he should be, given where he grew up.

D: Most honest answer is a wordless ¯_(ツ)_/¯, and they likely wouldn't know the correct terminology (or care about it) enough to investigate it more internally jfhghj

V: I can't find the meme but this is in her future

🦇 biggest material fear (ie heights, bugs etc)

R: Spiders (and the ever-present threat of war, which isn't material until it very suddenly is)

D: Fire... it's proven to be one of the few things that can really damage them.

V: The Giant Fish that ate her parents and eats other people she interacts with on the regular. Also Fish in general (bc of a severe allergy jfhgfhdj)

⚖️ how do they seek justice?

R: If he's given a moment to think, Roman would like to seek justice through a legal system or a fair match (depending on what he's trying to get out of it) OR genuinely just an apology and an attempt to do better by whoever he's been wronged by. He's open to compromise on a lot of fronts! But if it's a situation where he doesn't have time to decide or someone's gone against those he cares for, 'justice' tends to come in a near-immediate barrage of violent spellcasting. Not necessarily aiming to kill but definitely aiming to hurt!

D: Dee has no sense of justice for themselves and would (/almost did) just let themselves get basically euthanized by a group of sort-of exterminators. Again, fairness doesn't really exist in their moral code. While this means they don't really hold grudges, it does become personal if someone hurts Nelly (and then they'll become jokerfied really fast)

V: Bc of defeatism Vhoxhu doesn't really seek justice for most things, but if she was slighted enough at current date she always has the option of throwing a giant fish at them in their dreams. In the future she'd take little victories/petty ones instead (therapy helps!)

explosive dehiscence (Impatiens capensis)

[monkeymeghan]

I have bunches. One on my chin from when I fell in the first grade and needed 13 stitches. One on my arm from a hemangioma removal. One behind my ear from inner ear surgery. One on each side of my head from two craniotomies for inner ear surgeries. Various cat scratches.

Uterine Dehiscence Definition, Symptoms, Causes, Treatment | Uterine Dehiscence vs Full Uterine Rupture

What is Uterine Dehiscence? Uterine dehiscence (partial or full) is a rare consequence of an LSCS (lower segment cesarean section). It is most commonly used to describe the process of progressive myometrial rupture that occurs with no sign of a membrane rupture. However, some authors use it interchangeably with uterine rupture. In the context of a scar from a cesarean section, it is often…

Partner is home! 🥳 I really missed him. I genuinely think I got half-touchstarved in the eight days he was gone, probably particularly because I'm relatively recently post-op. My mood is much improved and I am having to spend less energy on regulating my mood and thoughts since he got home yesterday, even though I woke up a lot last night and had some weird, slightly-disturbing dreams.

I haven't changed the dressing on my left-tit incision opening since I applied the new regimen yesterday but oh my stars, it itches like crazy. I also pulled a spitting stitch out of the tiny tiny pin-needle-point sized opening at the t-junction on the same side that's been insistently open for over a week, and that itches like crazy, too. Hoping that itching = closing! I'll find out how it looks after I take a shower tonight.

The two pointy, itchy, pin-point painful stitch ends on my right side continue to refuse to spit the rest of the way. One won't come when I gently tug it with sterilized tweezers, and the other remains under a tiny layer of skin. Unsure why I'm so prone to spitting stitches with this procedure! I didn't have any with my hysterectomy, but I've had so so so many with the reduction. Literally uncountable - I stopped trying after a dozen.

MADS-RIN also binds to the regulatory regions of numerous ripening-related genes to directly control their expression (Figure 21.40A). (...) MADS box genes are also important in the development and maturation of dry fruits, and control the dehiscence process (Figure 21.40B). (...) Replum tissue identity on the median side of the valve margins is maintained by the expression of REPLUMLESS (RPL), and and the floral homeotic gene AP2 has been demonstrated to repress replum development (see Figure 21.40B).
