Color me impressed

[Txagq8]

I haven’t been on much lately, lots of things going on. Trips, rebuilding a ‘69 ford pickup, reconstruction on an old house I picked up to fix and sell.

My new least favorite words are “how hard can it be?” Well, I found out when it came to hanging, taping, floating, and texturing Sheetrock.

But that’s not my post. I had a TRT visit to urologist today. Saw the doc for first time in a couple of years. I’d been seeing his PA until this visit.

He did all his poking and read my labs and asked about my LGX. He installed it 12/31/19. I told him everything was great but how long before I needed a new one?

He said average probably another 6-9 years. He’s seeing 12-15 year functional life on the devices he’s implanted. He has one guy whose had same implant 22 years no issues. But his best guess was 12-15.

Here’s what impressed me. Without looking at my chart or anything he started rattling off numbers. “You, if I remember correctly, are at 18+5. You’ve complained a bit about girth. You’ll need a bit more to fill you up because over time your tissues stretch some. When it quits, and the LGX will let you know….its going to work just fine until it doesn’t. Then call me and I’ll slap a 24+1 or 24+2 CX in you. It’ll work great.”

What impressed me was that he remembered. This is Austin’s high volume guy. He remembered calling me the night of the surgery from a NYE party.

I was flabbergasted he remembered shit to that level of detail. This wasn’t even an implant appointment…just my 6 month PSA and finger up the ass since I’m on TRT.

You can’t say too much bad about a surgeon that recalls doing you over 5 years ago and already has a plan for a revision, if needed.

Ain't it great when you have a doc like that? To remember personal stuff about you from five years ago is awesome.
On the other side, guess you've been busy with all those projects.

That’s pretty neat that your Doc could remember all that from 5 years ago.

Txagq8, I see that you’re on TRT; what were your levels before you started?
My testosterone levels were pretty high before I got my implant, it was 880, but recently I got it checked and it is now 660.
My primary Doc said that is good, but I just don’t get as horny as I use to. Now, can I perform, you betcha. I would just like to have that feeling again like 2 and 3 years ago.
I’m not sure if your FrankTalk handle has anything to do with Texas A&M, but we’re at the A&M Auburn Basketball game this evening.

That IS impressive! My high volume surgeon operated me on a Friday and I saw him the following Monday and he couldn’t recall anything about what he had installed in me, not the size of the device or whether any RTE’s were used or anything…

Txagq8, good to hear from you. Off your main topic but.... Don't let anybody tell you that sheetrock is a skill. Its an art.
