About 13 months ago I wrote a euphoric post about my gender reassignment
surgery. I do remain extremely pleased about the physical result, it
looks like it should, and not half bad at that… but the ongoing overall
recovery has been a total disaster!
Andrea has had serious complications from her gender reassignment surgery. I feel so bad for her, but she doesn't want your pity. The purpose of this post is not only to update her readers but to educate anyone contemplating GRS on the possible complications.
