Wow 6 days, you're lucky. I only got 2 nights in the hospital approved from my insurance, though they will likely eventually pay for the third because I nearly passed out in the lobby sitting in a wheelchair waiting for a Lyft ride to the AirBnB I had to pay for myself to recover locally. Hospital is still fighting them over it since October.
I had full depth PPT. And though I didn't have complications with the vaginal canal, I'm anxious to get some revision on the labia and clitoris so I can maybe start dating again. I miss cuddling and sex. Lol. But even with the complications, I'm still super happy I did it. I feel like it made me feel more free to be myself even if few people have even seen it outside of healthcare providers. I've worn more skirts, dresses, and makeup than ever. ๐
I hope healing goes well for you. It's a long process so dont get frustrated if you have setbacks. It's so worth it!!! Rest, drink lots of water, dilate regularly, and enjoy the downtime. It goes by quick.
