glad you're doing well SRS is how I found out that I react poorly to morphine; it makes me really nauseous but luckily they were able to put me on something else

Grats question for those living in the states: is it normal for every trans mental health care provider in your areas to not allow you to pay with insurance? around here they say it's for privacy concerns but honestly it just feels like it's just ripping people off because it's a college area and college kids are generally better off than most

i live in fuckin norcal and it was still a pain in the rear end to find a therapist when i was first transitioning, and even before then, i was paying my previous (non-gender-related) therapist out of pocket. even with the gender therapist, it wasn't so much about privacy as it was about the convoluted system of different insurances, and the difficulty of getting them to pay out properly or in a timely fashion. they had a specific insurer they had a partnership with, but all others were out of pocket, & client could seek reimbursement on their own. the health insurance industry is loving stupid. i've had a much easier time with kaiser, but it's also expensive as poo poo, but it's still worth the reduced frustration for me. i don't have a therapist through them, but i'm seriously considering it lately.

Shame, that sounds about right. it's a pain in all of the rear end to find a therapist you click with, much less one who specializes in gender issues. Or so I imagine, because I've got a hell of a backlog and I don't think I'll get to the gender-related trauma of my teens and twenties until at least Q3 2044.

actually now i'm really curious, peeps who have had bottom surgery: does your, like, internal body map update immediately or does it take a little while or what? like if i close my eyes and something touches me i have an innate spatial sense of where that touch is happening, but I'd think surgery like this would move around where those nerve endings are and your brain would have to take a little time to figure it out right? (sorry if this is too personal, feel free to tell me to gently caress off cuz it's none of my business)

I did forget I can't pee while standing anymore my first night off the cath which led to a fun situation though

the stent gets all the press for being the worst part of SRS but imo it was actually the catheter re: internal mapping of body parts, it actually took a while for things to sort themselves out for me and even now 6 years later if I think about it I can remember which part used to be what when I feel an itch or other sensation (for example labial itching feeling like ball itching) BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Jun 20, 2019 |

I’m in a recovery house with all of these stairs and it just makes going up and down awkward. it is coming out on Sunday though but gently caress the catheter. I cannot stand this drat thing and it doesn’t come out until Monday
