A nurse brings me a tray with rice, chicken on a bone, green beans, chocolate pudding, and another black coffee, although it’s night time. I eat the rice and green beans but the chicken is difficult to cut so I wait for a nurse to help me.I just woke up from anesthesia. I’ve taken a month off work to get gender-affirming top surgery—I have insurance and medical PTO thanks to a union.
I’m not allowed to push, pull, stretch, or lift more than 10 pounds for four to six weeks, so on Sunday I went to Trader Joe’s and Morton Williams to stock up on a couple weeks’ worth of food I could easily heat up or not have to cook.
