Re: T-6 days...

Well at T+3 I was expecting worse after Dr K said the locals and blocks would start to wear off but so far, Tylenol and Advil is holding things down. After seeing some of the photos on here, I was honestly expecting to see I had been beaten with a baseball bat while out of it but maybe because of th...

Re: T-6 days...

IMG_2127.jpeg Stmcknig, is that the new Boston Scientefic AMS pump? I believe the label on the card says Tenacio. And I asked Dr K if the one inside is the same material as this seems hella difficult to compress. He said no, the one inside is silicone and there's no keyring on it ) Just reached the...

Re: T-6 days...

So glad things seem to be going so well!! I am 3 weeks away from my procedure and while I'm hopeful, I'm also quite nervous. Yes I was like you. Hopeful and nervous in equal measure. The night before I considered calling it off and even when I was in the hospital bed waiting for the anesthesia I fl...

Re: T-6 days...

Dr Kansas unwrapped the sausage today and honestly was expecting a lot worse to look at. A little bruising on the head but overall pretty good. Drain removed, and cleared to shower so it's ice pack time. He does infrapubic and says the scrotum swelling is usually much less as a result. Now I get to ...

Re: T-6 days...

T+1 So far just using Tylenol until the bandage comes off later today. Worst thing is that irritation of the urethra due to catheter. It stings! Bottle was given to me by hospital and it’s much better to collect and check urine output. It seems I have to relearn the muscles to release, maybe a side ...

Re: T-6 days...

Well I’m out of surgery. Honestly one moment I was on the gurney heading to the OR and next thing I remember coming round in recovery being told all went well. Seeing Dr Kansas tomorrow to get drain and bandages removed. So far mild aches in balls but nothing awful.

Fingers crossed…

Re: T-6 days...

Thanks guys I appreciate each and every comment and support. I'm going to go out on a limb and ask the DUMB question, because I have seen some contradictory reports of ice vs heat. What am I icing and when/for how long after ? I have some of those gel-packs in the freezer, I assume nobody uses actua...

T-6 days...

Glad to have found this forum group ) I'm 62 and 20 years of diabetic battling and cardiac issues have done their ED number on me for the past five years I guess. Tried the usual oral meds route with limited success unless the dosage started to cause vision disturbances, then progressed to Caverject...
