Thank you for your replies everyone. Updated my sig. Sorry for the utter lack of info and details....and half my job is tech support...you think I'd know better.

Hi. One year post op. I think I am seeing some signs of erectile recovery but wanted to ask...I am assuming erections do not just miraculously return one morning, but that it is gradual?
