W had the stitches removed this afternoon, 5.30 appointment and they were done by 6.20! It took two nurses to remove them all, he had to have a dressing on as some areas were a little raw looking as the stitches were quite deep in places.
Still having the abdomen wound dressed, the district nurse is coming in on a daily basis to re dress it, still leaking quite a bit, it has now been packed.
The district nurse is lovely, had a fabulous chat about the transition, she explained that W is her 1st phalloplasty patient and hopes to be his district nurse for all the operations and what a positive experience it has been for her and how she could never imagine W as anything but the man he is.
We have a follow up appointment at Harley St on Thursday, I have mentioned to W about arranging the next op but at this moment in time he's not emotionally ready to plan anything, hopefully op 2 will be at the end of the year.
W is feeling a bit depressed now, I feel awful when I close the front door in a morning knowing that he is on his own until I get home, it'll be better when he can drive again or is more mobile.
I'll be glad when he has got his grandads funeral over with, its this Wednesday. At least he's had no grief off his dad.
I have put my complaint in regards the paramedics!
