Facial Feminization Surgery - July 12th, 2000
Fresh out of surgery.  At this point I don't really know what's going on around me.  I'm VERY woozy, but no pain, no nausea, no sore throat.  In other words, I feel ok.
Just another angle.  But ain't I cute!
I PAID this guy to do this to me???   Me and Dr. O.  (Good bedside manner BTW)
I tried to smile for the camera.  Want to know how hard that was? HARD!! You can see the bruising in this picture.   There was more to come later, but I never had any real pain.....
I told my mom and sister to try and find a set of fake antenna for me to put on for this picture, but they couldn't find any.  This picture would have been a classic! 
The full bandage is off but the packing is still in my nose.  I didn't sleep much for 4 nights because of it. 
The lower bandage is off and I can move my jaw some, but best of all, the packing is out!!!!!  I'm smiling because I got some sleep!
I got the last of the bandages off just a few hours before this, and this is one of my last pictures before I left for home on the 20th.  I have about a pound of make-up on trying to hide the bruising and the swelling is still terrible, but this picture gives a hint of what was done to my face.  It will look better and better each day.
