Hey Theo, funny you should ask since I was thinkin about coming in to post today.

Tomorrow will be two weeks since my surgery and i'm just amazed at where I'm at. I've been extremely pleased with the care I've gotten from Dr. Voloshin and his staff. Although i believe there are other excellent places to go I am so pleased I went there.

Yesterday I got the nipple stitches out and got a kick out of the fact that even Dr. Voloshin was amazed at how great my chest looks. I showed it to my roomie last night and he said he was a little jealous at how great my chest looked cause now he's got the man boobs in the house.

I thought I would come in here and post where I'm at with the two week mark. It's easier to post now then to try to remember back some day when other people are looking into their surgeries.

At two weeks, i'm casually walking for about 30 to 60 minutes. I've done a few short drives, 15 to 30 minutes one way and yesterday drove down and back to newport, about an hour each way and did some errands. Was beat when i got home but was out and about for over 5 hours.

I'm able to put sleevelesss under shirts on and even can get my compression shirt that is a single layer with a shirt built in on and off. Although I almost had to call my roomie for help last night, getting it off. It was the first time and I hadn't figured out the best method for that shirt yet.

I'm slowly starting to move things back into their places now that I can easily reach up into the first and second shelves of cupboards. Today I'm going to shower for the first time. Up to now I've been mainly using the disposable bath wipes that you can buy in the store and heat up in the microwave.

About a week back i got so frustrated with sleep that i reclaimed one of the dog beds. I've had problems with memory foam in the past but any itches from it have been well tolerated for the comfortability and ability to sleep. I'm still using it and because of that I was able to finally sleep on my sides last night.

Not sure what else to comment on but i'm just thrilled at where I'm at.

I go back in two weeks again just to be checked on. Till then I'm still suppose to keep the cloth tape on the scars. For the next couple days i'm suppose to still put bandages and cream over the nipples. Everything is coming along good.

I see no reason not to start back at work at the beginning of June. Will still start back part time. It's two more weeks until I can work out good and I want to be able to do some before I'm back in the grind full time.

If I had a desk job I would probaby think about starting back part time next week, but unforunately i'm not that fortunate.

I hpe to also start looking for new work now that this phase is done. I need a job with benefits before I look into any of the name/sex change stuff.
