			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well it has been almost a year since my Sex Reassignment Surgery.  I have had several complications and am still in some pain, but I am winning at last.  A while back I noted that I was lubricating in the clitoral area!  While I was happy to note that it was of little consequence if my vaginal opening was not doing the same.  It was impossible to tell what was happening there due to pain, blood and other discharge associated with the healing process.</p>
<p>The last few days I have been much more comfortable when dilating.  It is still painful, but I have coped much better and that pain has lessened.  I had noted recently that I seemed a little damp at times.  This could be simply more discharge from granulation tissue but also it could be I was self lubricating to some extent.</p>
<p>As an experiment today I dilated without the aid of extra lubrication!  The first stage with the smaller dilator worked well, so I gave it a go with a larger dilator.  Again it worked fairly well but I did not it stuck a little.  The fluid in my vagina lacks the slightly slippy texture that lubricating jelly gives.  It is different to the fluid produced with clitoral stimulation!</p>
<p>I tried again with a slightly larger dilator namely a rigid type ladies vibrator.  This time though I was in trouble for a minute or so.  The darn thing stuck and would not go in or out!  After a few minutes of panic, I did manage to leaver the darn thing out!  Unfazed, I added a tiny quantity of lubricant and tried again.  This worked and despite being tighter than my larger dilator it did not tear me.</p>
<p>So now I know I am definitely self lubricating, but this may need a little help form a lubricating gel.</p>
<p>I am also so happy to have been able to take the slightly larger vibrator. It gives me hope that all will be well very soon! <img src='http://www.broxie.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At last dilation is getting easier.  Still uncomfortable but it is definitely getting easier.  I was still granulating a little a few days ago, but the steroid seems to be settling it down.</p>
<p>I was told to make dilating easier I should warm the dilator and also use two fingers to open the entrance before inserting the dilator.   Both of these have helped!  I wish I had been given this advice when I left hospital, it may have saved a lot of pain!</p>
<p>Taking of pain, I must add that making sure the nails are kept short is a goo idea.  I just drew blood!!  An internal injury is not what I need right now.</p>
<p>I have also noted today that things are working correctly and I have even started self lubricating I think! <img src='http://www.broxie.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>A friend sent me a copy of hers so please unfortunately she had made her own notes.</p>
<p>It has come to my attention that a friend of mine is now seeking this information so I have posted them here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After months of being stuck indoors I ventured into the park with  &#8221;S&#8221; ! We waited till well after lunch time and i put on some factor 15 sun block and put on a pink floppy hat as the last thing I need right now is a sunstroke and I am quite prone to it.  We sat for about an hour I guess, but it was great to be out.  Since October I have only been out a half a dozen times and that has been to see the doctor, attend a hospital appointment or to get some items from the local shops.</p>

<p>I have been suffering a sore throat for a few days now and am tired probably due to that strange stuff called fresh air! <img src='http://www.broxie.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back from Charing Cross.. The nurse says I have both internal and external granulation still !! I am to go back on steroid creams to try and stop it or slow it down. Also need a anaesethic appplied to help me dilate !! Need a barrier cream to help stop the soreness and if not any better in a few weeks I should postpone the next operation!!!</p>
<p>Oh and I have to wait till after the postponed operation to start looking at getting my hormone levels right!! It&#8217;s been 4 years or more in there hands and never been anywhere near the desired levels! Seriously thinking I&#8217;ll go back to self prescription from off shore chemists!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The hospital nurse is also involved in reviewing my hormone regime between appointments with the endocrinologist.  The results of a recent blood test showed I had an increased liver function.  So I have to wait another 6 weeks and have a retest.  Only then will a decision be made as to weather I can have an increased dose of Sandrena (Gel Oestrogen).  My Oestrogen levels remain very low and it is frustrating me as it has now been several years and I am no nearer to getting ideal levels in my blood stream.</p>
<p>I am able to increase my Finasteride to 5mg immediately.  That should help a little with reducing the rate that my beard regrows.  In addition I have a letter asking my GP to prescribe Vaniqa.</p>
<p>The letter also asks my GP to examine the possible causes of my weight gain and bloating.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had an appointment for electrolysis today. I have been suffering  from a heavy cold and very nearly pulled out of going. However any delay in this treatment could force me to put back my GRS for a third time, so I forced myself to go.</p>
<p>The session went well as I was doped up with pain killers and had plenty of emla applied to the treatment area.</p>
<p>Sitting in the waiting room I did as I normally do and chatted to another girl also waiting for electrolysis.</p>
<p>Absorbed in conversation I hardly noticed another girl come into the waiting room. After a few moments she said &#8220;It&#8217;s Broxie! Isn&#8217;t it?&#8221; The voice was almost familiar, I looked over to see a young and very feminine face. I still could not place the name until she told me it who she was. Then it all fitted she had changed a little from my minds picture of her, but she is still as pretty and feminine as I remember from the days when I was not living full time in my gender role. That must have been 4 years or more ago!</p>
<p>Unfortunately she had found out yesterday that her gender reassignment operation the was scheduled a week before mine, will need to be postponed in order to have some other essential surgery done.</p>
<p>She is one of the most naturally feminine trans girls I have ever met, so I was surprised to learn that she intends to have some facial feminising surgery. I really hope it all goes well for her.</p>
