Medical people, listen up! It's a debate as old as time itself, so I'm gonna settle it.

I have 2 drains out tomorrow. One left, one right. The idea is that breathing in or out when pulling it makes it easier, but people disagree which. So I'm gonna do both. MAKE YOUR PREDICTION.
@nohandsup didn't you once bring this up? 👀
Breathing out -expanding your abdomen to make your thorax smaller- has a safe lead! It makes sense, but is it right? Guess we'll find out soon 🤷‍♀️ #CassSRS #suspense #NobelPrize

If you care about trans people, PLEASE tell your friends and family what's going on.

Most people in this country support trans people's right to be healthy and happy, but at the moment a small number of bad actors control our lives. It doesn't have to be this way.
This can easily be fixed. GPs are prohibited from prescribing us common treatments that cis patients get every day. Gender Identity Clinics, the main bottleneck for our care, do nothing except rule out another cause of us being trans.
People think GICs are experts who prescribe treatments for us- they aren't. GPs prescribe the treatments. The GIC just decides if you're trans enough first.

We need patient-centered care.

Nurses listen up: all I wanted last night was pain relief. I got it. And it didn't work. It was obvious I was in retention but my brain was in pain mode. We all know to do this, but in the moment it's easy to panic and give more PRN morphine.
The pain ladder is all well and good, but it took a sensible, calm nurse to come along, say no to the morphine, ignore the inconclusive bladder scan, and flush the catheter. Now I am pain free and have had 5 hours of beautiful sleep.
Guys I'm gonna have so many reflection opportunities for my revalidation this year 😂😂

Recurrent tonsillitis occludes my airway or goes septic at 3. Failing that, a barber treating my messed up teeth gives me pericarditis at 10. If I survive that, I get burned and/or flogged for doing whatever trans people did then. History was bad, do not recommend.
Genuinely interested who would have sorted messed up teeth in the 1400s. Were barbers a thing yet?
Actually never mind. I was a C-section baby. Me and mum wouldn't have made it to lunch time on the day I was born 😂😂

If you're just joining in, head back to the start:
Also support your nearest transition fund ♥️ and if you like nice stuff hanging from your face go to slowgoldie.com she's not paying me anything, I just love her face and she's been there for me since I was a baby tran in London ♥️♥️♥️ Image

Good morning, day 2! I am in a moderate amount of pain but my brain is still pumping out happy juice by the bucket. ♥️

Nothing to add so far, but stay tuned. #CassSRS

Postin' time! Woke up to turn Lily off (we fell asleep together on video call ♥️) and realised it was ivabx time so I stayed awake and waited for the nurse. She came and attached the bits and did my blood pressure - 85/something (been above 125 systolic all day).
This could be a few things but the immediate concern is a bleed. She's had a look, checked the drain, checked the character and it seems fine. Our theory is I had a truckload of opiates today and the last one, oramorph, is just wearing off and I'm not compensating quickly.
