I'm not sure if posting anything is a wise idea for myself as I normally tend to keep things as personal as possible.

But at the moment I cannot express myself in any other way. I have recently had surgery a few days ago, an orchiectomy and penectomy, and albeit I'm bruised and swollen I am the happiest guy in the world.

I have not told my friends/family/co-workers about these events and hopefully they will not find out. This is how I've always wanted to be, and what people don't know won't hurt them, or myself.

For now I am content.

Was this for medical reasons? Was it done by legitimate MD's in a SA hospital?

Thanks for responding.

No, this was for personal reasons.

The doctor that performed the surgery is legitimate, however not based in South Africa, it was done in Thailand.

The level of care that I have been given so far has been incredible, I get checked up on every hour whether I need it or not, and I can request assistance at any time if necessary.

So you're currently recovering from surgery, Thraddash.

I'm glad you seem to be doing well. I sincerely hope everything continues that way for you, and that you return home healthily established in the condition that you have selected for yourself.

Are you intending to stay as a non-male (ie, without inducing feminine characteristics)? Or are you hoping/intending to develop towards the feminine state?

Hi Old Greebo,

Thank you!

For now I will not take on any further female characteristics. Nor do I require companionship from men. I actually did get to choose my condition, including the option to feel sensation in a makeshift clitoris.

I am actually happily married back home to a lovely lady, who is the only person aware of these proceedings. She has been supporting me this whole time, but obviously raised concerns that this is a irreversible change of state. I am alone right now, which is possibly the only reason I'm even posting what I have done.

I'm really getting bored being stuck in bed all day.

I was finally allowed to walk around today, its amazing how weak you become in a matter of days.

Walking alone now feels so different, even though I have a layer of dressing over my wounds, I feel no obstructions.

This is so exciting.

Don't push it. Glad to hear it's going well so far.

Don't push it.

I'm not, I'm taking things extremely slowly. I walk with such small steps. For some reason last night I felt so energetic, like I could run a marathon, is this normal? (Obviously I didn't, and won't)

They are redying me for discharge today, so I'm finally off that restrictive IV. My poor skin, I've got every color in the rainbow around my waist. I'm normally a pale white so its pretty clear I had something done.

I'm still attached to a urine bag for a few more days, so I'm just going to hide out in my hotel room until that's removed, I don't see anyone else carrying one around

Have them get you a bag that you strap to your leg. Less cumbersome or embarrassing. Just make sure it is plugged closed, or you'll end up with a shoe full (experience tells).

I asked but they didn't have one, thanks for the suggestion though.

I got a shopping packet to carry it around in, so it looks like I enjoy buying bags of you know what at the grocery store, LOL!!
