This is a long-overdue update on my progress to date. It’s been 8 months since my procedure and I have been dilating with the pink and blue for the past 3 months. The pain and anxiety levels have been consistently at ~1 (aside from the occasional mild discomfort) and I only need to dilate every other day for about an hour. This was preceded by a 3-month-long (life-imposed) hiatus of no dilating at all, which thankfully did not interfere with my recovery. When I resumed dilating again 3 months later, the pain and the anxiety were surprisingly low (2-3), even as the Botox had nearly worn off. I have no fireworks to report, as I am still single, but when the time comes, you’ll be the first to know. 🙂
Again, huge thanks to Dr. Pacik — his treatment has been life-changing and I look forward to not having to dilate at all. 🙂
