[MzLadySheila]

This is a side of being transgender that is not often seen. Thank you for sharing!

[ursweety888]

for those that are considering FFS can you share the pricing information? How much it cost in total? If you paid upfront? If not what the payment plans are like and how long you expect to pay for ... Also how long it took you to save up for?

[meowcat121]

you look uncomfortable! if this is what i gotta do when i have mine done, its so worth it!

[buzywoman]

Bonjour Kate (Nyx)

[TheDrfoxx]

[stlkeir]

You are so beautiful and brave, I'm your fan.

I am anxiously to see the result in

next videos ..

I m thinking in FFS to....

[GenieP]

I am so pleased to know that your mother is there for you in your time of need. It's got to be difficult for your mother, but she seems to be handling it well. Your nose looks marvelous. Time will heal all the wounds and you'll be so glad you did what you did. No one is going to react in public...you will be seen as the woman you are.

[Closeyoureyesandjump]

your looking very femmine and there is no masculine traits left wich are visible. When the swelling goes down you'll be a knockout. have you tried make up yet after ffs

[TrannyGirl15]

Will try makeup when I'm less swollen and ready to go out dancing again ;)

[JalexTGF]

Wow! These are clearly very exciting times for you, I wish you all the best with your recovery.

[cglize]

Estas hermosa y muy femenina,tus rasgos se han vuelto muy dulces y femeninos,no tengas miedo,esta sos vos realmente,esta era la mariposa encerrada en su capullo,era hora de salir y desplegar tus alas!

[TibetKanagawa]

No update for a few days.  I hope you are okay. Please let us know.

[thierry2357]

Greeting, I admire your courage, hushed up is splendid, do not occupy you comments put others out, they are stupid and malicious, me me soutiend you in 100 %. A French admirer.

[doorcodad]

Ah yes, the price of vanity. The change in your appearance is dramatic! You were attractive before. I believe you are going to be a knock out now!

[Vanyaify]

OMG!!

You're soooo beautiful

My best wishes, ...ciao

[kotekotekitty]

you should get a fan, its simple but the breeze can sooth you a little physically but also alot mentally

[20only]

I wish you all the best

[MissDeniseHewitt]

I'm really impressed by your personal courage during your transition:) Warmest Wishes - Denise

[chrissy777333]

A word of advice, I'm a dentist and I think you shouldn't take too many pills because you are already on hormones, and you will damage your liver. Beauty hurts, try using cold compressions. Another thing, don't look at your face too much, so when your face is better, you will really see a difference.

[mfranck1]

The girl got by on 2 DARVOCETTE (the least strong of all the narcotics) 4 hours a day only for the 1st 2 days and then went down to 1/4 a pill after that.... and now is only taking ALEVE and you are warning her about not over-doing the pills???! Are you insane? What preposterous advice! There is no reason why she should not have been given Percocette (a lot stronger) for the 1st two+ weeks. The way her pain control was treated was absolutely CRUEL. It doesn't/didn't have to be quite so bad.

[Adominae]

Advil is best for anti-inflammatory.

You should also ask your doctor for something stronger than codiene. Most people do not get addicted to pain killers if they take them for the duration of the pain episode. There is a relief in not having to take them any more once you are through the episode.

Good luck, you look great!

[mfranck1]

"Most people" do NOT get addicted to pain meds when they take them appropriately for a medical condition. That is a total myth, based on paranoia, and ignorance. She deserved and NEEDED *much* better pain pills than friggen glorified Tylenol after such MAJOR surgery. Maybe they do things differently in Canada (I'm in US) or maybe her Dr lacks compassion (like the dentist above me) but I am personally outraged to hear the amount of pain she is in KNOWING there is so much more out there to help!

[cyberborch]

Wow, is amazing. Everyday you look much better and more beautiful

congratulations

[Edenroc720]

Good things come to those who wait! You are already beautiful, so give yourself the alloted time to heal and it will all be worth it. No pain.. no gain.. or so they say. This will all be a distant memory, when you are showing us your face again..and telling us all about how HOT and popular you are when you go out! I'm happy to hear that Erin still feels the same about you. That too will take time..be patient mon ami'..... :)

[razval]

You... actually look beautiful. Good luck on your recovery process.

[emilygrae]

Mon ami, I was a little worried, listening to the first part of this video, but the second half you showed that you are looking forward to things and this is good! Being discouraged can really be harmful to not only your mental state, but your recovery as well! Keep an optimistic outlook and you'll be right as rain in no time! Being off the hormones can really mess up your mood as well, so hopefully being back on them will help you from being depressed. With love, bon nuit

[RNmerritt]

you are coming along great... love to you.

Lexi, RN BSN

[KarTeg01]

The Ice packs that you are using should help to speed up the reduction in the swelling and the pain. If you can, try to use this method during the day and gradually reduce the meds. It wont be long before you can look back and realise the progress that you have made in a relatively short time. Its good to hear you talk about the future and the great things that are ahead. We are all thinking of you.

[NoNameTransWoman]

It is pretty evidnt that the surgery was brilliant. Removing teatosterone damage will reveal the beautry that was always there. In a few weeks all the pain will become a memory.

[GBoCookies]

Hang in there! Your videos are too helpful for you to go dying on us! hehe jk.. I wish you well!

[alexis001]

hang in there : ) it takes time to heal, dont worry... the pain would be all worth it ^^,

[femstarlight]

Just hang in there, the pain should go away.

[Kevinsf]

You have an amazing complexion, better than most women I know.  You don't even need makeup. Flawless!

[meottome]

One more thing, Not sure what your taking for pain but I thought you could altinate take Ibuprofen and Acetminophen doses with out herting your liver. I know there not the stronges of pain killers but may be it would help take the edage off. Can any one with real medical knowlage confurm this?

[meottome]

Hang in there Girl,Your looking great. I know the pain is hard but it will pass. Drink lots of water and rember your lucky to have Erin and your mom to help you through this. Also Pain makes it hard to focus and that will build your fustration, so maybe you should get up to date on all those movies you have mist up to now. or better yet, a good book that just transport you away for a bit while your body heals up.

[ThatFelicitygirl]

You look so beautiful. Hang in there. Chronic pain is a nightmare but it will pass. Just try and think of the rewards.

[TransMissioning]

Im glad you are doing well. Thank god for family and loved ones who are willing to stick by yourside and love you, UNCONDITIONALLY. Thank you for sharing these vids with us.

On another note, makes you think what happens when a celebrity drops out of the public eye, and returns two months later with a new nose... :)

Jess xoxoxox

[TrannyGirl15]

Heh, my nose doesn't hurt at all. I think a nose job is almost nothing in terms of pain. What hurts is the bone work.

[mapleloaf67]

you look pretty and you are a magnificent warrior! hang in hang on and you will overcome. BIG HUGS AND PEACE!

[natasha296]

a couple of pointers for you:

1. get a blender and use it to blend up all of your food,

2. Ibuprofen is another anti-inflammatory that can help and is less irritating to the stomach...not quite as strong but effective.

3. Icing is your friend... the more the better.

4. you can take a T3 or other pain pill at 3 hours but just don't take it every 3 hours. So if you wake up, you can take your pill but wait during the day for 5 hours if necessary.

[redbuffaloo]

I endorse the ibuprofen especially "Liquid Softgels Capsules, 200 mg", they worked better and longer lasting than the pain meds Rx by Dr.

[ncc74656m]

You'll love Aleve! I have some pretty serious ankle problems thanks to genetics, and it's pretty much the only thing that makes walking comfortable for me. I think it'll help a lot.

Unless your doctor warned you against any specific dosing, I typically take two pills at a time, and it lasts for approximately 8 hours, even with exercise and long distance walking.

Feel better, and I can't wait to see you with the bandages off. You're already lovely!

[YankeeTankee]

Hang in there! I'm sending you a big virtual hug in hopes that you feel better soon!

Just remember, even though you are a very strong person, do not hesitate to get some support from the people that love you. Don't be afraid to tell them what you need.

Have you talked to your doctor about the sleep/pain issues. You need your rest in order to recover. I hope you are at least taking a nap during the day :-)

Just take it slow and be good to yourself.

You look amazing! VERY pretty!

[Sweettart9467]

You are so strong.Keep hanging in there. You are healing up wonderfully! Bet of wishes for you to heal up real quick. Best of luck!

[TheMb023]

Now you must be very positive, It will make your recovery time shorter, you have always been a very strong girl. Try to take food compliments rich in Omega3, it is the best natural cell antiinflmatory. My father had a tumor removed from his brain, with a very invasive surgery on the face. He was extremely swollen, and the soups and the OMega helped him to recover very very fast. Take care.

[michelleinthefuture]

You look great. I hope things keep going well for you. You seem to be a patient type of person. I am looking forward to seeing you with your bandages off. Keep frequently making videos. Your Vlog is one of the best on U-Tube. Good luck!

[Fiorwestcoast]

you look fantastic doll. It does make me scared to go through the same thing....but you have to remember you will look so good. I wish I could afford to do this...which I wont be able to for a long time....so I hope it gets better.

[killerrodan]

you're looking pretty.i hope everthing turns out well.

[bellitakari]

wow wow u look amazing...

[davinia1881]

beatifuuuuuuuuuullllllll!!!!!!­!!!

[juliaormond]

hang in there hun, try to find things to keep your mind off of recovery if that is possible

[gdavon]

you look amazing sweetie.

[Thishya]

You look very pretty~

I hope you recovery goes well. ^_^

[Myangeleyez1072]

Make sure to be really conscious of your feelings, especially if leaning toward depression, and gauge if your pain increases when you are feeling really down...be careful on your pain meds. If you notice that your pain does seem to increase when you are feeling down, you may want to see about trying an anti depressant. I work in OB.GYN, and sometimes patients experience pelvic pain but they are really depressed and their depression manifests as pain. Be mindful of your feelings as you recover.

[House4Voices]

I'm really glad you have supportive family and that Erinn is taking to your new face. I hope it gets easier soon. Thanks for posting. You look so different! I'm amazed!

[maryevansb4u]

I really hope that your recovery will be alot faster than it is going. You have alot of people pulling for you. Look at all these comments. We all love you.

[WickedWG]

Hope you feel better soon.

It's weird, but I've heard from some people who say they didn't have pain after FFS at all.

[TrannyGirl15]

Well, strangely enough, I have no pain whatsoever in the upper part of my face. It's all in my jaw and neck.

[am529]

thanks for the updates, it looks like you are healing well. Hope you start feeling better soon.

[saltyeggs71]

bless you and you're doing well

[bobbieanncd]

You're healing well and your attitude seems more upbeat. Wish you the best and contiued speedy recovery!

[alikishemale]

female face

[phoenix4738]

You look very different now...n that too in a positive sense...you are looking GOOD !!! I hope that you will be happy with the FFS Results. Waitin' for some more videos....GET WELL SOON

- Phoenix

[vonhatenfeld]

It may take 6 months for the total recover but 90% of it happens in the 1st month. Be positive, the other 10% or 5% will seem like nothing, may be painfull only if you press a bit hard, apart to that you'll feel normal, no pain.

[SugarPinkButterfly]

Feel better soon. The pain will fade soon enough. Congrats on getting your FFS!!!!

XOXO

[whatisbeneath]

It sounds incredibly painful and uncomfortable. Lucky you have such a sweetheart for a mom. :)

[fellanamedhorace]

your looking really good! try swearing a bit they've found a connection between swearing and a higher pain tolerance, so that might do you some good =) hope you feel much better soon, can't wait to see your finished result when the bandage and swelling is gone.

all the best

jon

[moomoo1852]
