SRS Bread

It's got to smell like something... Not even like wound smell? Or clean musky skin smell? It's a hole between your legs @_@.

But thank you for responding. One other question what kind of pain med's do they have you hooked up on? Are they helping? Are you enjoying them?

Second week SRS here, the blood colored discharge smells like menstrual blood.

Well what does menstrual blood smell like?
and thanks for the info.

Not OP but
I agree with this one
Idk how to describe it, but if you've had a cis gf you know the smell.
I can't tell if I'm a total baby or if you got lucky. Catheter removal was the worst sensation ever.

Really bad.

The nurses said my pain tolerance was really high. I think it's because I'm extremely clumsy so I bump into furnitures literally almost everyday and it gets my body accustomed to pain.

I will now use OP name to keep track
Also, for context, I have really poor pain tolerance.
I didn't have any significant pain at all after leaving the hospital. Did you get yours done at chett's too?
Yeah, and I know what wound smell smells like. Whatever they did, they did a good job.
Smelled a bit like urine when they removed the packing, but that's about it.
As for pain meds, I think they gave me Tramadol at the hospital by default and they gave me some (and some paracetamol, which I did take for things like having the catheter removed) when I was discharged. I haven't taken any because I haven't needed them.

How’s travelling to Thailand like now? I typically go back once a year but ever since COVID I haven’t been back yet and I’m slowly wanting to plan my next trip.

Entry is easy (even easier now than a month ago when you had to get a Thailand Pass)

Thanks based fellow post-OP. So they finally ditched that pass huh; guess I’ll bother to do more research then. It’s been mega depressing for me because my yearly trip to Thailand has been the only thing keeping me sane from the shithole country I live in, I do enjoy catching up with fellow troons who are about to get the axe and just exploring the country and indulging in the frankly awesome local cuisine. All the best with your recovery by the way. First year kinda sucks with dilation and all but I’m like a decade postop now and have stopped dilating entirely forever ago, it’s definitely a super liberating experience to have had my dysphoria-inducing junk removed and then to finally be able to just not worry about my ladybits anymore after years of dilation.

Why not just move or something, Thailand isn't exactly a hard place to move to.

I definitely plan on coming back as a tourist for sure as well. It's a great place, although the language seems impossible to me.
When you visit, do you stay at the tranny shacks? I'm finding that I really like this spot, although it is a little out of the way.
Language is a big barrier as well as finding employment.
Sometimes, it's worth living in the shithole country for the 6 figs.

It’s complicated. Moving is definitely in the cards but having tried to learn Thai I’ve pretty much ruled out ever moving to Thailand lol. I must be able to learn the local language (both reading and writing) otherwise it just feels wrong. I do speak Chinese though so if I migrate within Asia then Taiwan is actually one of my preferred options.

Taiwan sounds like a really nice option, good luck user. That would probably be my second choice. And yeah I have no clue what is wrong with the Thai language.

Yeah I typically stay at the same hotel with the rest of the troons. It’s fun mingling with their families and all too, and it’s just a rather pleasant experience to share our life stories and struggles and shit. Plus at the end of the day it was a life-changing surgery and experience for me in the most positive way imaginable, and I truly value what everyone’s given me during my numerous trips to Thailand. So despite the location being a little annoying it’s totally worth it for me.
