I mentioned before that I had phantom nipples in the vicinity of where they used to live. It's been about 6 months since I've felt the phantom nipples. My nipple grafts have a little sensation in them at this point, but it's just basic, like pressure. They aren't into being erotic yet. I pass 100% of the time in person, 98% of the time on the phone. I have to make myself speak lower on the phone because people can't see my beard. All of my identification has the right name and gender on it, but I've run into issues with secondary things. My car registration..the deed for our house..our marriage certificate. The marriage certificate is an issue that we have been trying to fix for over 4 months now. We were married in a small town in Massachusetts and covid-19 is making everything take forever. My wife and I are moving to Portugal and the amount of paperwork involved makes my gender change look easy lol. I will provide future updates on being trans and moving to another country.

3 days since top surgery
It's been 3 days since my top surgery. Among the jokes from my family about how it looks like I have tomatillos attached to my new nipples, there's more about nipples.
Because my breasts were large, I had double incision chest surgery. Because of some "extra" tissue (quoting the surgeon here) between my pectoral muscles, those incisions actual join together where some special extra cutting happened to prevent me from having a fleshy "nose" in the middle of my chest. Anyway, along with those incisions, I also had my nipples removed, grafts made out of them, and then they were moved to a more natural masculine positioning. There is much explaining about how there will be loss of sensation in them, (think about if that is important to you), etc. However, what no one explained about is how there could possibly be phantom nipple sensation. I repeat, phantom nipples. Apparently I am one of the lucky folks who can still feel the old nipples in the vicinity of where they were previously located. It's not pain though. It's like it's cold outside and they are contracting. It's a particular sensation that pretty much anyone with nipples has experienced. From what I read, it could go away, it may not. It's weird.
Other than phantom nipples, which is just strange, I feel pretty good. My right drain is putting out way to much fluid for me to be super hopeful about it being removed on Monday, but it could still slow down enough. Maybe.
