Well this was timely. I started reading this post first thing this morning in the hospital waiting room. I finished it tonight, with very different anatomy.
I have a great support system (mostly my wonderful spouse) and a very clear recovery plan after I go home. Iām even more motivated to follow it after reading this.
I'm a trans nurse and absolutely love this kind of thing (adherence vs. compliance, your explanation of the patient variable, optimizing trans care). Have you heard of any gender affirming home health nurses in the US? It's my dream job lol; I'd love to be professionally present for my trans siblings pre- and post-surgery (and might get the chance locally!). Though I can't imagine I'd have enough visits per week to make it a full time job yet, I see the potential for really powerful community care. And weekly nurse visits (or more frequent) have got to help improve adherence!
a very timely reminder (i'm 3 weeks out from my bottom surgery) to not go off-script during recovery - i deviated a bit during my FFS recovery and i have 2cm scar at my hairline to show for it.

This is a vital read, thank you.
