Well, healing has been going well: the feelings of hypersensitivity have thankfully faded, swelling has reduced significantly, and I'm at two months post-op without experiencing any significant difficulty with dilation (and no loss of depth). I've stopped the Betadine rinsing and application as instructed, which saves a bit of time each dilation. I can also mostly sit without the rubber donut, even in a car, though it does hurt after some time. I think I can drive without too many problems, in fact.

All in all, I figured I'm doing well enough to be back at work in another week, and told my workplace so.

However, I now seem to have caught something severe and flu-ey off mum. >_< Dizzy, sniffy, coughy, and achey. Timing could have been better, I must say. Tonight was supposed to have been dinner with some friends; sort of a first outing after surgery, but the way I'm feeling, I think I'm going to pike.
