In, And, Out Of It, Surgery
The anesthesiologist soon came in to talk about allergies, dosages, getting Morgyn's weight and height taken, and any and all concerns looked after. Then came the time, the time for the much-dreaded IV to be put in. "So I will be here through the whole thing, and I'm well-trained for any and everything that could or might go wrong if it happens. So, the harder part for you. Getting that IV in you. I'll have a look first to see what arm is better; need to find a good vein to put it in; it makes it much easier on you." Gently turning Morgyn's hands and arms over, he rubs a few spots to have a look, tapping a few times in a few different spots. "That's the one," putting a thumb on the site. "Okay, now comes your favorite part."
Dr. McCoy held hugged Morgyn tightly, turning their head away; it was probably best not to watch this part. "Is that one for the IV or for the one I need for the workup I need?"
Realizing, Dr. McCoy needed a blood sample to find out what blood type Morgyn is before their operation. Called it as, "Doing a desensitizing one, uhh, on the other arm."
"Huh," Morgyn wonders, worries, and looks over as part of their upper arm gets cleaned up. It was not the same spot as the anesthesiologist had had their finger on.
"Oh, it's okay, don't watch. I shouldn't have asked."
"If you didn't know their type, we need to know that. It's important."
"Whoa, whoa, wait, no, what are you doing? That's not the same spot. What gives?"
"I need to know what your blood type is, and it's not in your medical records, so I need a small sample to know what blood type you are. It's not as bad as the IV one will be."
"So, just to be clear, an IV and a small bit of blood to find out what type it is? That's it for all the needles I'm getting?"
The anesthesiologist nods, "While you are awake, yes, but most likely, yes, it will just be these two. But you might need subsequent ones, but you will be sleeping then, so…you won't care, if it is even needed while the doctor does what he needs to do."
"Uhh, so you're going to stick a needle, um in um, down there, up in there?"
"It will be, if needed, some localized numbing after I give you the Nitrous Oxide laughing gas, so you are not going to be giving a hoot what's going on and or in Twilight Sleep after that. It's almost better you be in Twilight Sleep, and then we do what needs to be done, and we can still ask you some questions if need be if you are in Twilight Sleep, and you recover a lot faster than just the laughing gas, or I can do both."
"Um, maybe do both, whatever you think is best. As long as I don't feel it."
"The local one will be done while you are asleep for sure if it's needed. The thing is, with an imperforate hymen corrective surgery, most times, it's not needed, but if I see you are in any pain, I can numb you up down there with localized freezing. So Twilight Sleep, and then if you are in any pain, I can numb you up and then gas you a bit more."
"Okay, um, okay, sounds good. Get the blood test one done, and then I still won't watch the needle going in." Cringing away and being hugged, held tightly.
"Just going to sterilize it first." Doing that and as a distraction for when it does go in, and it helps, requests. "Now, take a few deep breaths." Between one of the deep breaths, it was put in.
A few deep breaths with some slight poke but pinching feeling now requests, "Hurry please, I don't know how long I can hold out."
"Oh, it's already in; a-a-and, there we go. Hold that cotton ball there, I'm just getting a piece of tape for the bandage to put over it, and that wasn't so bad."
"Uh…yeah. I hardly felt a thing. What, no proper Band-Aid?"
"You said you're partly allergic to latex; most Band-Aids have latex in them. It's not needed anyhow and is what the nurses do when they draw blood. Unless it's kids, but still have to be careful nowadays with many people having latex allergies even more with ones like you have, a sensitivity or partly allergic to it. All right. This is what's going to numb you a bit. So where's that the spot again? I'm just going to clean it up, and you get a spritz of this stuff, and the needle can go in without pain." As soon as the part of their arm was cleaned off where the IV line was going to be put in, a spritz gave a burst of numbing cold that startles Morgyn, and that was it. "You don't have to watch this part if you don't want to." Morgyn watched, intrigued if there would be any pain, but there was none as the needle when in, and smiles and turned away when the rest was done. "There we are, just, this part, and we are good now," flushing the line with saline and getting the drip started. "Here you are," handing the doctor the vial of Morgyn's blood.
"Are you okay now with it in? The rest should be pretty easy now." Morgyn nods. "Then I'll be back shortly."
"Where's the doctor going? Getting scrubbed up?" Forgetting all of a sudden.
"To test your blood to see what your blood type is, as it is needed to know that before surgery. If there is no record of your blood type, we need to know that before surgery starts. So that's where he's off to, to find that out and yes, get washed up and get his scrubs on for surgery." The other preparations with the nurse coming in were on their way and table. "So, nervous?"
"Yeah, first surgery and all. I kinda wish I didn't have to have surgery."
"Well, no need, and if you really are, um, there is another option that doesn't involve surgery. But I think it will be painful for you."
"What is it? Maybe I will do that instead."
"It was a silly joke idea, that, you have WhooHoo, with a male or someone with a penis. You know, penetrative WhooHoo."
"Oh hell no, ewww, don't talk to me about that sort of stuff; I'm still an innocent virgin, shame on you. I know I will be doing that to be a mother, but I don't need to hear about that nasty stuff before I actually have it. I want to explore it all for myself when I'm supposed to, thank you very much."
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, feel better, relaxed more?"
"What, you little bugger, you were joking with me the whole time; it was a joke, you had no intention…yeah, I kinda do now."
"Nope, you may have to be cleaned out in your uterus, as this isn't your first time you have menstruated, so there may be dried blood that needs to be cleaned out. Even then, if this was your first or before your first, we would never ever recommend that. You could wind up pregnant. So do you have any questions or concerns I can answer?"
"Um, like, will it hurt after it is all over?"
"Do you mean after the numbing comes out, or and how long it will be numb for, if needed?"
"Yeah, how long and the pain after the surgery, will there be any at all if there is no need for any numbing up in there?"
"Very minimal to none at all, there might be residual pain from the cauterizing if anything and if he has to go in and clean anything out. If that is the case, then I will numb you up for sure."
"Um, can I still get local as well?"
"Sure, just a small amount where the cauterizing will be. I'm sure that's all you will need."
"So has the doctor done this surgery a few times, at least?"
"Oh yes, I'm not sure the exact number, well over a dozen at least, way more, I'm sure. I've been there when a patient like yourself had no vaginal opening but had menstrual pains, so he had to surgically make a vaginal opening to allow the blood to flow or come out like it needs to. It was an intersex person, too; it's just in that case, it was more complicated, but this one is straightforward. But that one was a complete success as well."
"That's good to hear. Can I go pee before surgery?"
"Yes, by all means, I insist, in fact, I was about to tell you to go use the washroom. A perfect time to go is right now, while Dr. McCoy finds out your blood type, before surgery. It's a precaution, so we know, just in case. Namely, because we are dealing with blood vessels and the potential to lose a lot of blood. Plus, I hear that you would like to be a mother, so if you have a negative blood type, it's good to know that beforehand, before trying for a baby. As that can cause problems for pregnancy or at least subsequent pregnancies. He can tell you all about that, and if you do have a negative blood type or not, and then what to do if you do."
Nodding headed off; it was also to make a call before going in for their surgery. "Grace, guess what, you and the doctor are my saving graces and L. too. I'm going in for surgery, in a few minutes, I need you to tell…"
"The other Sages, where you are? Yeah, they are wondering and are getting worried, and two others who look a lot like you."
"My parents, I need you to tell them where I am and that I'm getting an emergency surgery done at the hospital in Sulani."
"What, are you all right?!"
"I will be after the surgery. You were right; it was serious; there was a reason I felt so ill; I was, in fact, menstruating, I just wasn't able to, all because I have a blockage and a shunt. I'll tell you all about it after I come back home. I'm in the washroom right now and emptying out before my surgery and calling you to let you know that and so you can go tell the others. Namely, my parents. Go tell them right after I hang up, and where I am."
"All right, I'll do that right now, and I'll be praying for you as well, that it all goes well."
"Thank you, I do need your prayers right now; as calm as I am, I do need them." Morgyn walked out and headed to the OR, ready as they ever were, to get this done, but a bit nervous as to be expected, considering. It was, in fact, their first surgery. "I'm a little nervous going under. This is my first surgery for anything, so I don't know what to do."
"Most are, but we'll take very good care of you, not to worry," smiles the male anesthesiologist. "I came in for that reason, to get you all prepped and go over some things before the surgery, for that very reason. Don't you worry none; we will take very good care of you."
Dr. McCoy walks in and jokingly says, "You B positive!"
"Huh. Oh, I'm trying to be. I'm very optimistic by nature."
"Well, good, but I was making a bit of a joke, as well, since B positive is your blood type. So I'll send you home with some information on what to do after surgery, all the dos and don'ts, as well as to help get you ready to have the baby you are after having. You'll probably wake up shortly after it, but be pretty out of it and might just go back to sleep for the rest of the night or stay asleep till morning, as it is getting a bit late. Rest is what's best after any surgery, even minor ones."
"So this facemask is soft plastic, so you shouldn't flare up at all. So, it will be just pure oxygen at first, to help you to relax, and so I can get your Tidal Volume or breathing levels adjusted before I give you the sleeping gas."
"W-what's that?"
"The amount of gas you inhale in liters, it's almost your lung capacity for gas. So just breathe as normally as you can. It's just oxygen right now, and if you are not getting enough oxygen or too much oxygen, just let me know. Feel free to adjust the facemask, so it is comfortable. So relax and go to your happy place and relax. Once you are relaxed, and I got your Tidal Volume, I'll give you a sedative into your IV tube to help you relax and rest, and then monitor that and then give you the Nitrous Oxide or laughing gas, that's the sleeping gas it will start to come in through the mask after that. When I start to do that, I will get you to count down slowly from 10, and you should be out like a light." Morgyn just nods. The anesthesiologist monitors Morgyn's breathing levels and found it was a Tidal Volume of 8 and got the right dosages sorted out, then inserts the sedative. A mild sedative to put Morgyn into Twilight Sleep slash rest. Instead of relaxing Morgyn, it did the opposite; it freaked Morgyn out and made their heart race!
"I don't like this; make it stop; it's scaring me!"
"I'll reverse it if need be, but I only gave you a small dose. Talk to me. What's happening?"
"My heart is racing, and it was like a rush, I don't know, it freaked me out. Is that what getting high feels like? It's terrible! Make it stop; I don't want to be doing drugs or on them; make it stop! I don't like this at all! Stop it right now!"
"Yeah, it can be. I'll make a note that you shouldn't be given this sedative as you don't react well to it. Everyone is different, some don't care, and some react negatively to it like this. Others find out the hard way; they are allergic to it. I've been thoroughly trained to know and what to look for, any reactions, even that. You are neither the first nor the last to react like that to this drug. We'll give it a few minutes, to be sure, to make sure you are all right, and if you do react, I can fix you right up and stop the reaction." A few minutes pass by as they checked Morgyn's vitals and then nodded. "It seems you're okay; we'll keep an eye on you. Maybe it was a bad rush or trip. That can happen. In a way, to put it in a good light, it's like trying cigarettes or other drugs for the first time; it can be absolutely horrible, and that is a good thing your body reacts that way to those substances because they are not good for you at all. I'm sure that's why your parents told you…" The anesthesiologist was promptly interrupted with well-timed quips!
"He-e-e-y k-i-i-i-ids‼ This is why we just s-a-a-a-a-ay no to drugs! Drugs are bad!" The room cracks up with laughter.
"Exactly," the doctor agrees.
"Even ones given by medical practitioners need to be taken with caution."
"You are a naughty one then, aren't you? Especially for getting me high like that, bad, you need a good sound spanking! That's what a naughty drug dealer deserves, is a good kick in the pants and where the moon doesn't shine!" More laughter, the sedatives had kicked in and were making Morgyn just a bit loopy. Now Morgyn said things, well, maybe they shouldn't, but the drugs were doing it. So they both thought nothing of it when Morgyn told them what they did.
The nurse jokes, "Uh-oh, better watch out, or someone might be thinking of finding their belt or a paddle and using it on you."
"Or conjuring one up magically, maybe in a cauldron to use on you. Hey, yeah. Maybe there's a magic spell for that, for smacking naughty warlocks and witches and Spellcasters on their heinie. Hey, doc, we're good, just no cutting off my little guy; I want my penis, but if you can make it a bit bigger, or longer, so I can pee standing up, easier so that I can really screw with peoples as to what gender I really am, go for it! I love doing that. So if you want to make it bigger or longer, that's okay by me, but don't cut it off or make it smaller; it's where I pee out of, and I need it to feel any sort of pleasure down there. So play nice."
"I'll be working down there in that area, so I'll have a look and see what I can do, hmm, hmm, hmm. I might be able to make it a bit longer if that is what you want. We can talk about that later, all right, if that is something you want done. After the drugs are fully out of your system. As you might just be saying this for the sake of saying it, because of the drugs, or something you do want done, and perhaps now with your inhibitions down. I cannot be sure of that right now. So we'll just focus on this surgery, first, and give your body some time to recover from it. Then we can talk more about it, about penile enhancement or lengthening if that is something that you really do want or not. After you have recovered some, and again, a few days later, if it is still something you want, for sure, because surgery is permanent. But I will check if that is something I can do or not."
"Chillio." Morgyn was trying to say, 'cool,' but was sort of half out of it and said that instead, but had not actually cast that spell at all.
"Here's the gas; it's coming."
"Don't fart, hold it in, I don't want to smell it. Wait until after I'm knocked out, or are farts the secret new drug?" The room filled with laughter, while Morgyn looked a bit puzzled, and then smiles a devious smile and starts laughing. "I'm trying to put myself out. Oh, the methane, the methane-feta-mean. I got that rumble from down under, g'day mate."
"You should be feeling it; I'll let it come in slowly, see how you react to it, first."
"I don't feel anything yet. Am I numb already?"
"You will in a little bit, give it a few seconds, you'll feel it, and get sleepy. I'm only giving you a very minute amount of the gas; I don't want to freak you out again." It was 95% oxygen, 5% Nitrous Oxide, or laughing gas, and then increased it to 10% with 90% oxygen, and so forth.
"Can you make my little guy not so little, since you are going down there anyhow? It's more efficient to get both done in one go."
"It is or would be, but I can't. Sorry, but I can't, in all good consciousness, especially now that you are under anesthesia to do a second operation on you. I need to see if it is possible. Then I need you fully conscious and completely aware of everything before you can consent to do the surgery and what kind it will be. But, if it's okay with you, I'll see if it is possible to lengthen your penis, okay, I can promise you I can do that, I'll have a look to see if it can be lengthened or not."
"Sure sounds good to me. No fondling. Hey, nurse! Make sure he behaves. You can look all you want to or need. I'm sure I look fascinating. Nurse-y. Keep an eye on him; make sure it's no perverted touching from the doc and the drug pusher dealer here."
"I will not; I'm just going to remove your shunt and make an incision in your hymen, so you can menstruate like a normal woman does." More laughing gas was being added. Morgyn was now drifting off slowly, ultimately revealing something they usually would never dare tell anyone as Morgyn usually kept it a secret when around other mortals, as was advised to do so.
"No, I need my shunt, you magical warlock. I'm magical myself, and I'll cast a spell on you if you do take it out. I need my shunt so that I don't overload and die. My shunt keeps me from dying, from overload, and exploding. I nearly perished once from that once already. Don't…take it…ow-t."
Dr. McCoy looks at the anesthesiologist and smiles, trying to hold in a chuckle. "Oh, all the things we have heard when they go under."
"We could write a book on it. A magical one." They all have a good long chuckle and laugh. They all had to take a few moments to get the giggles out before proceeding. At that point, to sober up from the laughing, they all counted the instruments with the nurse, they were to use, all the swabs, the sponges, gauzes, and whatnot so that nothing gets left in the patient after surgery ends. Yes, that can happen. So they always do a count, before, and after, surgeries are completed, before finishing up, any surgery; say like closing up stitches and whatnot like that.
"That's a new one, magical warlock." The Dr. and anesthesiologist and the nurse all thought nothing of it, just laughing gas talk, and besides, what is said in the OR stays in the OR.
They had to get a ride there but were worried the whole way there. "We're looking for our child; they are in here for a surgery, some sort of emergency surgery," mom was panicked!
Dad was trying to keep it together but was also very clearly just as panicked if not more so, "Their name is Morgyn Ember. What's going on, what kind of surgery, that's such an emergency?"
"Morgyn is in surgery right now; I'm not sure what kind it is, but they should be coming out of surgery soon enough. When a surgery is scheduled, we usually get a starting time, unless it is an emergency and an estimated finishing time. It should be over soon, according to the timestamps. It was estimated at a half-hour to an hour-long surgery. It's been over 45 minutes or more, so it should be over soon. When the doctor is finished, he will come out and talk to you. I'll let him know when it's over, and he comes out. It will come up on my computer when the surgery is completed and where Morgyn will be put to recover." The receptionist gave them a compassionate smile. "The best thing you can do is wait and pray everything goes fine. But not to worry, Dr. McCoy is a very competent doctor." So they did just that wait in the waiting room, prayed, and waited for the doctor to finish and come out, and tell them what happened and is going on.
"All right, everything went swimmingly, and Morgyn will be feeling so much better now." The anesthesiologist took them off the gas with a nod and started to put them through the recovery process. "Hear that, Morgyn, now you will be able to menstruate like a normal woman from now on."
"Did Morgyn seem okay to you? Maybe they were sick and realized that. But what?" Mom tried to think but was too worried.
"Appendicitis, that's the only thing I can think of that would cause Morgyn to need to go to the hospital right away to have any surgery done. But our baby didn't seem like they were in any pain."
"Or at least not physical pain, she was upset that she wasn't going to be able to have this prophesized baby because of what she was told. I have to wonder if it is true or not that Morgyn can't have kids."
"We should have asked Dr. Lothario if Morgyn does have any girl parts inside. But he told us nothing comprehensive about any of that."
Coming out and heading right to the receptionist to report in, about how it went, "We're in the clear and in room 3 to rest for the night, to be discharged in the morning."
"Ah, Dr. McCoy, Morgyn's parents are here and are in the waiting room, concerned."
"All right." Walking right over, taking off the scrub hairnet to show off his blue hair. "Hello there, you must be Morgyn's parents. I can see the family resemblance. To ease all your concerns. Everything went quite well, and Morgyn will feel a lot better every month from now on. I'm thanking God right now that Morgyn got in when they did before something did happen."
"Like what," mom asks, freaked out.
"Well, come over here; I'll explain everything in private." In an empty room, he went over what could have happed and what he did, and why it was necessary. "So, Morgyn had a shunt in her vagina, and what is called an imperforate hymen, it's a genetic disorder that could be related to Morgyn being intersex or not. Anyhow Morgyn had two shunts I removed via laser and cauterized them. Since Morgyn had an imperforate hymen, it was completely covering her vaginal opening; so it was blocking Morgyn from menstruating normally, or rather at all. In fact, it was that and the two shunts that were leeching that menstrual blood back into Morgyn's system and making Morgyn's liver work harder to clear and clean that blood to normal or usable blood. It was why Morgyn was feeling so ill each month when she did menstruate."
"This is my fault."
"Honey, how is it your fault?"
"It's just a genetic disorder. It's certainly not…"
"I had it too; I had to get my hymen surgically cut or perforated or opened too. I passed…"
"These things happen. Be that as it may, it's fixed now. Maybe it was genetically passed down to Morgyn, or not, it's corrected now, and that's the important part. So now Morgyn can menstruate."
"But, Morgyn has never menstruated, ever, or rather never told me anything, about any discomfort that they felt from the blockage."
"And Morgyn has never told me anything about not feeling well every month," dad shakes his head. "Why, though? How long ago was this?" It should have been obvious why, but they were far too concerned with worry over their child to remember the last time, and final trip to a doctor, for a good reason, why Morgyn did not go to the hospital.
"Well, a lot of people don't like going to the doctor, or in Morgyn's case, hates or did not like or got creeped out by their doctor, and for a good reason. Plus, their regular doctor is not competent, nor was an expert in intersex people at all. So he would not even realize what was wrong with Morgyn when she did tell me the symptoms. Also, just plain fear of needles will prevent anyone from seeking out any doctor even when they know they should. Morgyn told me about what happened to them. I mean, we also had gotten the warnings from that about how to treat and respect patient's rights. I knew that it sounded familiar; I knew as soon as Morgyn told me their name. So it is understandable why Morgyn wouldn't bother or refused to go. You can thank Morgyn's friend Grace who got them to see me, or see a reason to be concerned, why they felt ill every month with menstruation like symptoms but no bleeding. So I have removed the shunt and removed Morgyn's entire hymen, so now Morgyn will menstruate normally from now on until menopause. If there's a bit of blood when she urinates for the first time or few times after going home, possibly tonight or tomorrow, it's just regular blood from the surgery, but I did my best to clean it out. I did need to go inside her womb and clean it a bit, but it wasn't bad. However, if Morgyn does not get her first normal period within 20 or so days, Morgyn needs to come back here ASAP, if not before then. I suspect from the ovulation test I gave her it should happen in 5 to 8 days. Get her back here in 15 days if it doesn't happen by then or getting symptoms of that, cramps, and whatnot. The same goes for not feeling right or anything that seems suspect, so I will give you my number, which you can call me, or call the hospital for a heads up, they can give me the message or anything important or questions you, or Morgyn has, anything like that."
Mom and dad sigh in relief and mom asks, "So Morgyn will be fine now?"
"Just fine, full recovery."
"So just have to recover rest now, from it," dad was glad of that. "So what was the worry though, you said you were thanking God for, she got in when she did?"
"If she hadn't got in when she did, due to the two shunts being blood vessels, she might have bled out or very heavily and lost quite a lot of blood if her first time was with a partner with a penis. The other one is that her body having to go through that cleaning out the blood to make it usable subsequent more times might have made her sicker and some organs start to shut down."
"Oooh, that's not good any way you look at it."
"Yes, for sure," mom agrees.
"Yes. And…I have a feeling, are you visiting Morgyn?"
"Yes," both answer.
"Normally, the patient will stay overnight, but if she recovers enough, she can go home later on tonight. So my precautions and advice for recovery. Rest, no physical activity for the next 2 weeks or more, no heavy lifting like picking things up more than 10 Lbs. for the next 3 weeks. There are no dissolvable stitches, and things are cauterized, but I still don't want Morgyn straining in any way. So I will send you home tonight if you pick up some Magnesium Citrate and stool softeners to help Morgyn go to the bathroom easily as far as bowel movements go. Plus, everyone needs Magnesium to be healthy. Um, speaking of going to the bathroom, because that area was numbed up because I did have to go inside to clean up. It might be the case where Morgyn might not feel the urge or signal that they need to urinate, maybe. Sometimes the sedatives will also do that as well. So until the anesthesia wears off, Morgyn might not have any or much bladder control, or the opposite. I'm not too concerned with the temporary incontinence possibility due to the numbing, a loss of feeling down there. It's the other I am concerned with, not feeling the urge or signal she has to go. So if that is the case, encourage Morgyn to try sitting on the toilet, especially if it has been a few hours or if you check and notice their bladder is or is getting full. You might have to push on Morgyn's bladder or get her to do it herself, to feel if it is full or not. So if she has not urinated in the toilet or in the diaper in 4 to 6 hours, preferably less unless it is at night while asleep, get her back here right away to be catheterized. If normal bladder control does not return in 2 to 3 days, get Morgyn back here at once. But for now, Morgyn is going to be in an adult diaper for a day or so, already actually, and it's just as a precautionary, and it might not even be needed. If it is the case she needs them, then I'll send you home with about 1 or 2 of them and a few incontinence pads for any daytime accidents."
"So we're going to be changing Morgyn's diapers again."
"Great," dad smirks. "Unless Morgyn can do it themself."
"Well, it's good practice for all of us, later. I mean, we, you know, we're trying and will be dealing with diapers again, anyhow."
"So we use this as a refresher, yeah, okay."
"Ah, I'll leave that as a surprise, what I just heard. As far as WhooHoo, no WhooHoo for 3 weeks or until a week or 2 after the first normal menstruation, by then everything will be settled and sorted out, and everything healed up. Showers no baths for the next 2 weeks; after that Morgyn, can take baths again. Also, for you mom, go over the things about periods or a refresher. No tampons, at least for the first month or two, to allow everything to heal up. So sanitary napkins until then, after that Morgyn can decide if tampons are right for them or not. I just want to make sure everything is fully healed up before she decides if she rather use tampons or pads or both. But for the first one and maybe next one, stick with pads for two months so everything can heal up, then it's a personal choice."
"All right," dad agrees.
"Sounds good," nods mom, actually looking forward to bond over the womanly issues they will now finally be able to share. Or not, if Morgyn prefers or tends to keep it quiet. "So can we go in, is Morgyn awake yet?"
"Should be shortly, yes you can go in. Just to warn you, you might hear some funny things as some people who come off the gas are still a bit loopy from it. We heard a few good ones from Morgyn as she went under."
Curious and needing to hear something funny, dad asks. "Oh, what did she say?"
"Yeah, I hear they can be real comedy gold."
"Made a fart joke when the anesthesiologist said he was giving her the gas. He told her the gas is coming. She goes, don't fart, hold it in, I don't want to smell it. Wait until after I'm knocked out, or are farts the secret new drug? We all start laughing, and Morgyn looks a bit puzzled, and then smiles a devious smile and starts laughing, saying I'm trying to put myself out. Oh, the methane, the methane-feta-mean. I got that rumble from down under, g'day mate. But mostly and going under, it was talking about magic. She had a bit of a negative reaction to the meds to put her into Twilight Sleep though, it's not so much an allergic reaction, but like a bad trip, it happens. Mostly it was talking about magic a bit. She got worried about getting her magical shunt removed; confused about the blood shunts is what I had meant the blood vessels that were leeching the menstrual blood back into her system. She warned me not to remove it, threaten warning me that I'll cast a spell on you if you do take it out. I need my shunt so that I don't overload and die. My shunt keeps me from dying, from overload, and exploding. I nearly perished once from that once already."
"Oh, interesting, and yeah, that's completely normal for Morgyn; she's been interested in magic since she was little." Unfortunately, none of that might be a lie, from what they both knew, except for the dying part, maybe.
Dad quip jokes, "Yeah, you could sort of say she got her wish, on that one," and then laughs.
"But the bad reaction or trip of getting put under or getting high as some patients put it was a bad one. Nothing to worry about, I made sure it was noted not to give her that if she ever goes under for any procedure as she reacts badly to it."
"Oh yeah, it probably runs in the family or on my side. I remember when I had my surgery to fix my imperforate hymen. I had this disgusted, revolted, almost horrified look on my face, my parents said, as I look at both of them and shake my head at them. The doctor asks if there is anything wrong, as she is concerned. Well, my truthful response was. Is this what the 60's and Woodstock is like? Thank God I'm not born yet. I'd hate to be a hippy, high, as the birds, this sucks. The 60's suck shit!"
They all have a good laugh about that. "Oh, but the 60's I heard were a real trip I heard."
"Yeah, maybe, but my trip wasn't fun. I hated being high on whatever it was they gave to me; Morgyn must have gotten that from me.
"Very well could be. Morgyn is right in…"
"I feel like a woman!"
"Is that…" the doctor starts to ask?"
"Morgyn," both parents finish, adding, "singing?"
"I lost all my inhibitions. I'm in no condition. Yes, I'm singing out of line, out of tune, so please don't leave the room. Because I'm a woman who ain't politically correct, no, no. I got the prerogative. I make everyone think I'm not a woman. Because I wear men's pants and shirts when I prefer my cute skirts, gorgeous dresses, and girly shirts. Oh yeah, but this day, I'm finally a woman. I finally got my period. Today I'm a woman. I got my first period. Oh no, that's not the end, it's just the beginning, because I got my period, and I feel like a woman."
"That's the most interesting rendition of I feel like a woman, I have ever heard."
"And I never took one singing lesson."
"And it shows," the doctor joked, wiggling a finger in his ear.
"Shut up. I'm allowed to sing terribly; I'm happy."
"Glad to hear that. Any pain or experiencing a headache?"
"No, I feel good, and today you finally made me a woman, and the female pronouns to go with it. All is well. Just ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, tired and ha, ha, ha, ha, giddy."
"Well, that's pretty normal after coming off of Nitrous Oxide laughing gas, anesthesia. Some people experience headaches, and I did have to do a little cleanup inside of you. Hence why I asked if you were in pain."
"No, the drug dealer made me too high; I'm good. But I don't want to trip on my balls like I did ever again, even if I don't have any," and bursts out laughing. "Speaking of which, did you do what I asked and made my little guy look not so little?"
"Remember what I said; I would look into it if it can be done."
"Right, don't want to be sued or anything, bad like that, if you botch it up. Consent not being able to properly be given?"
"Exactly. Well, I did look; your penis can be lengthened a little bit, about an inch."
"So I would look like I have a boy's size penis instead of a toddler's sized one?"
"Yeah, about that," making an agreeing face and nodding.
"I haven't even had my first time yet. Not unless you count what you did to me," Morgyn again bursts out into laughter. "What the hell am I on? Write this stuff down; this is good shit. I could be a standup comedian. Mom, did I make you laugh so hard that you're crying?"
"No, it's just, sniff, it's my fault you're here, now, in this situation, because of me, times two."
"What, the surgery?" Mom sniffles and nods. "I needed surgery; why are you upset?"
"I'm so sorry, Morgyn, I should have mentioned it or warned you to avoid this. I should have got the doctor to check that out to see if you had an imperfect hymen, like I did, to see if you needed surgery to correct it. Or rather get it done sooner rather than later before you had your first period. I'm to blame; you inherited that from me; I had the same too, just not the intersex condition. Unless that is an intersex condition."
Morgyn looks over at her mother and gives her a dirty look. "You witch! You're lucky I turned you into one today. Or is it yesterday yet? Otherwise, I would be an insulting bitch right now, oh you witch. You could have warned me, years ago, about that, you witch. I could have passed that on-onto me, you, me, whatever. You know what I mean. But you are a witch for not warning or telling me that sooner, that's for sure. Go away, and don't come back until you got me some pads and tampons as an apology, and cramp medication to go with it." That dirty look said it all before pulling up the sheet cover over their head and trying to sleep. "Go, fetch me what I asked for, mom. Before I make a mess if I haven't already. Because I sure as hell don't know what to get, and I'm in no condition to go get it right now, that's for sure. Besides, you owe me, big time for that, that will be your, I'm sorry, to me."
"Oh my, how soon until Morgyn gets her first period," Logan asks? "She seems a little moody already or like she has it or is about to get it."
"Should arrive in a few days. Yes, it could be the PMS talking and or the anesthesia. Don't take it too much to heart, or feel offended, or too offended by it. Some of it is, just anger, though, I'm sure, I suppose. After all, their inhibitions are down right now, so she might be a little bit more outspoken about the issue, so…take that with a grain of salt as you will."
"I'm not a woman yet? I thought I was. You said you would make me one with the surgery, so I can finally become one. You lied!"
"You're fine, the surgery went well, but it didn't induce your period yet; you have a few days yet to wait for that to happen. It will happen soon, your uterus was only just starting to grow the lining, so it's going to be a few days."
"How do you know that? You got superpowers?"
"No, I have a tiny camera that I went up in there with to examine your womb with, and a cleaning tool to remove any hardened leftover blood with. So, you're good to go now, might be in 5 days from now, give, or take."
"Oh, okay, interesting. Talk to me more about it later, when my head is more together. I think I'm under the influence of something, and I think you know what the substance is, wink-wink-nudge-nudge." That got a round of smiles and a huge one from the doctor and a few chuckles.
"Sure, I'll even show you what I used. But your mom can get the menstrual products for you, in the meantime, while you try to sleep, or as an apology. As well as what I asked you to get for her. It seems like an appropriate apology and peace offering, as well as a celebratory gift, for when you do get your period. But you will have to wait until next month to try tampons out and decide if tampons are right or a good fit for you or not. I want you to give your body some time to heal or rather recover, up there from the surgery. You'll be a little more tender up there from the surgery, so give it a month, or more, if you like, after that you can decide for yourself what you prefer. For this month, it's pads. If you do prefer tampons, you might want to wear some panty liners just as a backup, or at least on your heavier days, so you don't risk staining your underwear."
"Oh, okay. Huh, makes sense, I guess; good advice. You sure know a lot about girl products. Sure you don't have a uterus, hmm?"
"No. No, I've had that checked, no, but I need to know, and do know about all of that. If you are going to get the menstrual products for Morgyn, go for the teen size variety of tampons and one with an applicator; it makes it easier."
"You're lucky you have the Potion of Good Fortune on you to not be a witch but a warlock, dad; you don't have to deal with witch problems like we have. Now I'm gonna be a real witch once a month for a few days. It's gonna feel like a hex. How's mom when she gets it, her witchy periods?"
"Oh, she can be nasty, short-tempered. Angry for no reason, or rational reason."
"Oh, that explains everything! Most days, I'm pretty happy, but some days, I just want to Inferniate everything! Speaking of which, it's cold in here; mind if I warm things up in here? Why am I so cold, anyhow?"
"That's normal to feel cold; I'll turn the heat up. Coming from the OR and the chilled room and out of anesthesia, it's normal to feel cold."
Morgyn sees the doctor walk over to go turn up the heat in the room. "Oh no, no; no, save on heating bill costs. I can do it myself. Just give me a minute to figure out how to cast it. I know how to cast the fire spell; it's just how to use it as a heat source without starting a fire or things on fire. That wouldn't be good or nice, and as slightly annoyed as I am at mom, I wouldn't want to start a fire in a hospital. Just let me think of the magical incantations and…umm…translations…to cast it differently than I would normally." Morgyn was a bit out of it and yet with it enough and just tired from the anesthesia, but was visibly shaking from being chilled. Morgyn didn't like the cold period despite being born in the middle of a winter snowstorm.
Curious still thinking Morgyn was out of it still, and this was all the drugs talking. "So you think you have magical powers, and you're a witch?"
"Think, no, I know I'm one, I'm a Spellcaster and the Sage Mage of Untamed Magic!"
"Really, wow. Untamed Magic Sage yet. It sounds dangerous."
"It can be in the wrong hands or wand, but I'm a master. Hmm…ah. Flammo flamma ignis calida, veni foras."
"'Hot flame of fire, come forth, or come out.'"
"Ita calefaciat quod usque locus."
"'To warm up the room.' You know how to speak Latin. What the," gasps Dr. McCoy as a warm fire glow appears in both of Morgyn's hands, hovering there, and the room rapidly warms up! "W-what is that in your hands?!"
"Fire. Don't worry, it doesn't burn me; it's just warming up the room and me. Ahhhh, oh yeah, that's much better, nice and warm and toasty. I hate the cold."
"Y-y-you you're a, r-real w-witch!"
"Yeah, and you got blue hair, doc, you look so cold, let me heat..."
"Yeah, I like blue…oh no, I'm fine, I'm not cold. It's hair dye. My natural hair color is dark chestnut-brown, almost black. Boy, you weren't joking; you're the real deal. So you speak Latin to cast spells, wow, neat."
Yawning, "Uh-huh, just when casting. I'm warm and cozy now, now I can sleep. Don't wake me up, okay, or I will cast it on the person who wakes me up. I am a Spellcaster, a witch. Just don't ask me for a love potion, because I didn't take my caldron with me. But if you want me to turn you into a warlock, witch, mage, Spellcaster? I don't know what the hell the difference is anymore. I'll turn you later, if you want, give me an hour or two. Uh, come back when I'm not, so…whatever this is. Go get my maxi pads, mom, and tampons, maybe for next month. Am I staying here the night or going home later?"
"Typically, you would stay the night, because in most cases, a spacer similar to a tampon would be inserted up inside you for a few hours to prevent your hymen from healing over like a scab and then causing a similar problem all over again. But since I removed it completely…"
"You mean you…we didn't even have a first date yet, and you already took advantage of me?!" The room was stunned into silence. "I'm kidding; I know what you did. Now let me sleep, or I will zap whoever wakes me up, followed by a fireball, if anyone gets me up, before I'm ready to be up. Sorry, I'm so grumpy; I think it's my period coming. I can be a real witch sometimes," with that sentiment and a chuckle, they left the room to let Morgyn get some sleep. Mom got what Morgyn needed and was promptly forgiven. Being wheeled out in a wheelchair by the doctor, about 3 or so hours later. "I have to sleep in the tent with you guys?"
"Unless you want to spend the night here?"
"No, daddy, I want to go home. I don't want to 'accidentally' use my magic on a nurse who thinks it's a good idea to wake me up, to take my temperature, blood pressure, and to ask me if I was sleeping, after waking me up, to try to give me a sleeping pill. She was just damn lucky I was waking up, or I woke up when she came in the room, or I would have used my powers on her."
"I'll have a talk with the nurse, not to disturb sleeping patients, when someone is already asleep for something so unnecessary. Those things can be done in the morning. But you can go home, as long as you are looked after by your parents for the rest of the night."
"That's the deal, we look after you, keep an eye on you, so that means you bunk with us tonight, in the tent."
"Not gonna be fun for you guys if you wanted to dance together tonight, with me in the middle of the tent."
"Dance together," the doctor questions, wheeling Morgyn towards the exit, but a room before the exit stopped there.
"Having WhooHoo, gonna be hard tonight with me in there if they want to get intimate with each other. But I'm sure I can watch and take notes."
"Morgyn," mom gasps. "Are you sure the laughing gas is out of their system?"
"Well, if she wakes up dazed and confused, wondering how she got there, and I have heard of that happening, then you will know. But it should be out of her system by now. Here you are, just two things before you go. After a chat with your parents, I decided I would actually like to be turned into a Spellcaster, and you need to try to use the bathroom before I'll let you leave."
"I'm sure I can wait till I get back to the Realm of Magic, as it's only a Glimmerstone spell teleport away. I don't even feel like I have to go at all."
"You may not feel it, but you probably do have to go, reasonably badly. You had to be numbed up there, so the signals are still working but not getting through. It will take a few hours to wear off. So give it a try, even if it's a trickle you get out. If there is a bit of blood, it's just residual blood from the surgery, and cleaning out the hardened blood from your uterus."
"Okay. Good thing I learned how to do this, ready?" The doctor nods. "You'll probably lean towards Practical Magic, being a doctor, as a lot of the spells you can learn are beneficial for a doctor. Ready for the Rite of Ascension?" The doctor nods. "Vos dignum ducerent magicae! Tui mortale sui sublimitate deiecti deorsum! Nunc igitur surge, et e novo nascitur autem tamquam pythonissam aut veneficus!" Want to know? Well, I took a little from the Realm of Magic trailer. (You are worthy of the magic! Your mortal self, cast down! So now get ready to be born anew as a witch or a wizard!)
"Oh, wow, I can feel the magic inside of me."
"Yeah, it worked; you're a Spellcaster now. You have a Glimmerstone now, so whenever you want to go to the Realm of Magic, hold it up and say. Adducere me in Regno Magia. If it's just you. But if it's more than one, as I will be doing to bring myself and my parents along. Adducere, nos Regnum Magia."
"All right, I can easily remember that. Try to go pee."
"All right," dad handed Morgyn the dress she had come here in to get changed into while using the bathroom. "Oh, thanks."
As soon as the door closed, the doctor counted down, "Three, two, one…"
"Why the hell am I wearing an adult diaper?!"
Sorry, it's been so long, but with everything happening, I didn't feel too much in the mood to write this let alone in the right spirit or mood to finally get the right inspiration flowing to get on with this chapter. Sorry again that it had to take almost a year to get the next chapter out. I make no promises but the next ones might come out sonner. Same with the other Morgyn story. You can check out Ao3 for a different one, and I might be putting these 2 up there as well. It's called The New Sage.
