I have an orchi surgery date coming up in a couple months - I think I can feel scared about the commitment of it all, but on the other hand I absolutely cannot wait. I feel excited and happy, while also a bit scared and apprehensive.
Also, had a scare recently, for laser hair removal I’ve been using anesten (a 10% lidocaine cream) for the pain, and they were unexpectedly completely out of stock, and my own stock was running low - it seemed like I might run out before my next laser appointment.
Luckily I checked back later and was able to buy a large amount so I should be OK, but I realized I have no real back-up plan in case anesten goes out of business, and 5% lidocaine seems almost entirely useless. I guess I would reach out to my doctor and try a compounding pharmacy, but I already depend on that for a 26% cream, and I worry he won’t want to send multiple prescriptions or to do it frequently enough for my needs (I have three rotating laser appointments every 5 weeks).
congratsss!!
thank you!! Insurance won’t cover the surgery until I’ve been on HRT for a year, and I scheduled the surgery as close to my HRT-anniversary as possible 😅 I look forward most of all to the mental health benefits of not having organs producing large amounts of testosterone.
