(103) Next operation...

W met with Mr Ralph on the 9th March in Harley St, London, an alternative to the skin graft was discussed.  This meant 4 smaller operations instead of the 3 which he had left to have. After some thought W agreed that he would chose that route.  All that we needed now was an appointment date to suit, we have the graduation on 9th July and I finish for the Summer break on the 17th July, ideally the following week would allow plenty of healing time ready for when W starts his new job in September, plus I will be off to look after him too! 

After numerous  phone calls W was unable to secure a date due to the diary not being 3 months ahead.  Eventually W was able to book it but was told he would have to have another consultation first... W went off to  London a couple of weeks ago and met with Mr Ralph and later in the day had to meet with Mr Christopher.
The new route was discussed but still no appointment, a few phone calls and emails over the following week we eventually had the date we wanted, July 20th at St John and St Elizabeth hospital.

The sequence of surgery is-
  1. On-lay labral urethroplasty and glans sculpting, they will also bury the clitoris at this stage.
  2. Partially tube the distal urethra.
  3. Join up urethroplasty, vaginectomy and scrotoplasty, reservoir and testicular prosthesis.
  4. Penile prosthesis.
If the urethra is not viable then a small urethral funnel will be created where he can pass urine at the bottom of the scrotum. 

Fingers crossed everything goes to plan, just need to book my hotel now!!
