There are so many videos circulating on Facebook these days when it comes to gender. I was going to post a few of my favorites but, honestly, they are showing up so often that people are getting tired of the repetition. I will say that Debi Jackson's video of her child's journey is awesome and worth the watch. Also the documentary, Transgeneration, about transgender college kids is a great look at the special considerations that our kids will be faced with in these situations away from home.
This morning we went in for our Pre-Op at Zinsser Plastic Surgery. It was all pretty standard "what to expect after" stuff. Luckily I have been through a buttload of surgeries so I'm a champ at wound care. Xander is a little freaked out about the drains. It's normal. It didn't help that the nurse showed him the ENTIRE length of tubing that would be inside of his body. Scary. It looks really fucking long. I'm laughing only because I've been there and done that. The mental weirdness ( I always pictured the tube wrapping around my friggin spleen or piercing a major artery and it all comes flying out when they yank that damn thing out. Yeah, I have a very active imagination, I know) is much more debilitating than the actual pain of them pulling it out. He only has to have the drains in for the weekend. That's going to be a REALLY long weekend.
Other than that, I have to pick up supplies for the dressings and his after surgery meds. Done. Nothing else to do but wait till August 8th now!
