thank you!

Narrator with Reader post-top surgery

He's with you every step of the way. From the early arrival to the hospital, to driving you home, to recovery afterwards.

You wake up, your chest covered in bandages, drowsy, a little nauseous, but with an expansive feeling in the inside of your heart.

He's by your bedside right as you come back to consciousness. He's gently holding your hand, and beaming away. "Hello, dear. How are you feeling?"

You groan. "Five more minutes..." You mumble, asking the nurse to knock you back out. He laughs, relieved.

"Come along, Reader." He says, wheeling you out of the hospital.

It's strange, the first few days after surgery. The healing process isn't easy, and the bandages with drains feel so strange. But Nar is the perfect gentleman, through and through.

He becomes extremely competent, measuring out your post-surgery painkillers, and making sure you take them on time. His vigilance increases, and any sign that you're in pain after the operation is met with his calm and authoritative tone, telling you to rest.

Overprotective? Perhaps just a little bit. But his favorite person in the whole world is in a vulnerable position. So he'll be sure to cherish you extra hard while you're in recovery.

He's there, constantly offering you anything you might need. "Some snacks? Water? I could make you some toast. Extra blankets? Is seven too many? Hmm, perhaps so."

He tries his best. And he makes sure to gently coax you back into healthy habits without overcrowding you. He'll help you walk around for the first few days, giving you all the support you'll need.

Stories. Stories are his specialty. He'll keep you enthralled for hours at a time while you're in recovery. He'll break out new never before seen scripts, become animated, and make sure you're never bored while he's around.

He become the most affectionate, attentive partner the world has ever seen.

When you go for your post-op appointment to have the bandages removed, he gasps. And then he begins to blink away tears. It's rather embarrassing, and he asks the nurse to give you and him a moment alone.

"Reader, it's wonderful how far you've come with your transition. Truly, this is a moment that is monumental to your journey. I've watched you jump from paperwork to important phone calls to all the ridiculous nonsense the medical community is involved in-" He scans your chest, and you see not lust, but love.

Maybe you have a hard time seeing your beauty, so soon after the surgery. The scar tissue is fresh, and the bruises look a little strange. It will take a while to fully heal-

"You're gorgeous."

The words take your breath away.

He plays to your timing, not engaging in anything too romantic or physical until you're ready for it. He's spent thousands of years alone during the skip-button ending, his patience is without limits. He loves you. And he's so proud.

Now, I will expound upon the scary things. These are things that happened after top surgery that spooked me.

All of these things ended up being harmless, I just wasn’t told they would happen and couldn’t find any info about them so they scared me shitless. My intention here is to save others from similar needless panic. This is not medical advice, just a description of my experience. Well some of it is advice, but keep in mind that I’m fucking stupid and I don’t know shit. Also, Never for one second have I regretted this surgery. The only thing I miss about my tits is being able to grope them whenever I wanted.

Okay so first of all there was the bruises. Blood from the surgery had pooled in my love handles and all over my thighs under my skin and made these HUGE bruises, right, and they didn’t hurt but they were large and had funky colors and I thought “What if the blood rots under my skin”. I googled it, I asked all my friends, I tried to reach my doctors but it was the weekend so they didn’t answer so I went to urgent care and the doctor there was like “I dont know…. That’s scary….” So I was freaking out and decided I would simply wait for death to claim me. It was fine. When I finally got ahold of the doctor she said she’s never seen it before but to just watch it and tell her if it gets bigger. My body slurped that shit back up in a couple weeks, totally harmlessly. Why haven’t surgeons ever seen shit like that before? Probably because nobody’s ever freaked out about it enough to mention it to them. Either way, it was fine.

Secondly, when I had those drains in me, that was spooky because I thought “What if they get yanked out and tear up my shit” and I couldn’t take off the bandage too see or nothing but when I did eventually take them off, I saw that there are stitches around the pipes but not like holding them in you, just there to make sure the holes they put in you stay the same size they are. So if they get pulled out you don’t get seriously damaged, you just call them up and say yo can you put this shit back in me pls. There will also be little meat chunks coming through your tubes with your soup and the soup will be mildly funky smelling. That’s normal. I was told to tell them if there was like CRAZY amounts of meat or if the soup smelled absolutely nasty. Also the bolster things they put on your nips are attached directly to your nips and nothing else, so if you feel shit sliding around under your bandage, that’s the bandage sliding, not the bolsters. They didn’t tell me that so I thought I was gonna wake up with one on my back or something and not be able to put it back where it was. And they make it so it’ll be nice and slippery in there the whole time so don’t worry about the bolsters getting ripped off, there’s not enough friction in there to do that.

There was also the hydrocodone they gave me. For me, the incisions didn’t hardly hurt at all even immediately after surgery but they prescribed me hydrocodone so I took it, and I assumed I wasn’t hurting because of the drugs and that if I stopped taking them I would hurt a LOT. So here I am taking opioids and I’m so fucking dizzy and I’m violently throwing up for two days. I texted my doctor and begged to stop taking it because I thought I would get in trouble or something if I stopped without asking and she’s like “Yeah, you didn’t have to take it if you didn’t want to, its just there if you need something stronger” ohhhhhhhh well fuck me I guess. So I stopped taking it and it turns out I didn’t need pain meds at all because it barely hurts, it just feels like a really long paper cut.

Some other things, I popped a stitch in my armpit because when you first come home and your shits still all numbed up, you can’t feel it when you overstretch your arm so if you forget you’re not supposed to do that, you can pop a stitch. It got infected, I put some antibiotic on it, it took a long time to heal and it made the scar a little uglier but it didn’t cause anything crazy. I will say that my incisions go up into my armpits really far and it was real hard to keep them clean on account of all the sweat. My nipple grafts also had many tiny, shallow stitches and I thought “What if they fall out because they’re so shallow”. That’s normal. My dad said that’s how you do stitches for sensitive areas so they look pretty, and they do look pretty, and also they are supposed to fall out after a couple weeks, that is also normal. Just make sure they don’t fall out too soon I guess. Pretend you’re made of glass for the first 4 weeks, honestly.

Also, your nip has the little oil glands in it, right, and when you’re nip scabs over as it is supposed to, it will scab inside these oil pores and you’ll lose the whole rest of the scab and have these little leftover scraps, and you Must. Not. Pick them. Those pores in my nips are little craters now because I picked the scabs out of them. Every scab you pull off, even the ones that are thin and tiny and already hanging halfway off, is going to make your nip even uglier. You wont die but you will say “Ugh why did it do that”.

Also, my nip hole collects nasty shit in it that I have to clean out all the time and since I can’t feel anything in there I have the be VERY careful. Skin is actually very easy to puncture. And there’s like little caverns in there that also get stuff in them a lot so I still put antibiotic on my nips after I shower just in case? Not really sure if its infection or like dead skin… its been getting better over time at least. Sorry if that’s TMI but listen, somebody’s gotta talk about it.

Sometimes my scars, the main incisions, will get these little blackheads right in the middle of them or little pockets of infection, and I always pick at them and the scar tissue isn’t very strong so when you pick at things on your scar, you will break open all the blood vessels around it and have a big red spot and the scar tissue is such that you will not get the blackhead out anyway so just dont do that. Put some antibiotic on it. Honestly just put antibiotic on anything that looks sus. Antibiotic can solve anything.

Okay idk what else to say so end post goodbye.

Found out today that Kentucky (the state I was born in and that my birth certificate is filed with) requires you to have gender affirming surgery before you can get your gender marker changed.

This basically means that I can get EVERY OTHER IDENTIFYING DOCUMENT AMENDED WITH MY NAME AND GENDER MARKER CHANGE EXCEPT MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

Just one more reason to get top surgery, but I need help affording it!
