Bit Bored

Local time: Wednesday, 6.06pm

Routine is getting to me, and my rate of recovery isn't catching up fast enough to un-bored me. I think I might start wandering around a bit more sans-Mum once I'm a bit more able (say, to the clinic and back).

On Aey's suggestion I've switched to a dilation regime of three times daily, half an hour at maximum depth each time, for the last two days. Been able to reach 6.5-6.75 inches again, though the last half inch seems to take between 5 and 15 minutes sometimes. There was a bit of pain this morning but not prior or since. This is all still with the medium (31mm diameter) dilator. I'm not sure what the deal is with the larger and smaller ones.

Today was supposed to have a class on post-op care run by Sophie from the clinic, but apparently something happened last night (I didn't quite catch what) that's left her unwell so the class has been postponed for now. The class supposedly teaches something they're calling "dynamic dilation", which is meant to be easier and less time consuming, so it would have been nice to attend.

The clinic seems quieter lately - I think there were two new patients in the last two days, who'd both be in hospital by now. Other than that, there's a British lady and an American that I see around, and that's it. Both friendly people, though I've been keeping to myself.

Another check-up with Dr Suporn tomorrow. I'm going to have to remember to ask if I can resume the hormones, if only because it's one less thing on the to-do list and would be a morale booster. I guess I feel healthy enough; the main concern would just be DVT from having had surgery, and while I am walking around each day I'm not sure what's "enough".
