56 yrs old, DaVinci Prostectomy in 12/10. I have tried the pump, medications and shots.....did not work. I am now looking at a AMS 700 LGX PENILE PROSTHESIS. I will most likely have the surgery the week of Sept 3, 2012.
I am a gay male, in good health....I do take blood pressure meds and med to slow my heart rate down; however, I do have a healthy heart. I live in Nashville, TN. USA. I workout almost every day with weights and cardio.
I was never a sexual animal by any means, but the lack of being able to get an erection....has very much weighed on my mind. I date a guy from NYC, we see each other about every 6 wks. He is 37 and is aware of the situation.
When I had the DaVinci, I had very little pain and recovered quickly. (My brother died 10 days later and was able to attend services and it was 3 hrs away)
I will most likely go to my sister's which is 3 hrs away to recoup. She retired from being a Nursing Administrator.
My concerns are with me being 3 hrs away from my doctor are: infection, pain. I do not want to go to my sister's with a catheter and I will most likely be by myself once I come home. She will come and pick me up about 2 days later. I will be in the hospital overnight.
Any advice would be appreciated. You can either post here or email me at RSmith4259@AOL.COM
