Just another update: I’m kinda bored.
Day 8: Not much change regarding pain or swelling the last couple of days. The pain was a bit worse this morning but it has gotten better. I started back at work on day 6 so I guess the fact that my swelling and pain have stayed the same is a plus. I’ve had to tuck my 20% inflated penis to the side as leaving it up feels worse. I hope bending my penis and hence the cylinders sideways doesn’t mess with it. Especially since it’s 20% inflated. The soreness/pain in my penis due to bending to the side has gotten more bearable.
I see now what everyone on this site means when they say just give it time.
This procedure needs to time to recover. I guess I got excited cuz I saw one guy on here cycling at day 6 and sex at day 9. WTH. I was thinking. I’m young. I’m lying in bed all day. I should be good to go at the same rate. Not even close.
I definitely need another week or maybe 2 in order for the swelling to go down and start using this thing. Hopefully soon. The anticipation is killin me.
I don’t really care about anything. I just wanna see what it looks like fully loaded. You know!
Anyway. Will take some more time.
Update you soon.
You mentioned someone here talking about sex on day 9. They may have done it, but from everything I heard from my own surgeon and have read on the subject, that it not at all smart. You have just had surgery and the incision site is not yet healed. Having sex is an easy way to get an infection. I was cleared to begin cycling when I was ready for it, but my surgeon looked at my incision at the four week mark and asked me to be patient and wait one more week, both for sex and to get back in the pool to swim laps. In both cases it was not because I was sore or would hurt myself, but fear of infection because the area around just one stitch was still not fully healed.
