Day 28
Can’t believe it’s been 4 weeks already since my surgery. Time flies when you’re not having fun.
I can’t feel any more stitches in my incision which is mostly healed at this point. My scrotum is still tender as a sack made for 2 now has to support 3. No more pain walking, though my crus starts aching if I stand around too long in one place. Getting in and out of chairs is still uncomfortable but tolerable, so I’ll be sitting on my donut pillow for a bit longer.
We’re going out to dinner tonight with friends and i just can’t show up in loose sweatpants. So today is Day 1 of cycling.
OK, that’s definitely not fun.

Since Dr Clavell left me 60% inflated after surgery, I needed to deflate the implant first. Isolated and pressed the release valve hard, but didn’t feel the vibration that tells you the implant is deflating. But noticed my penis was going soft, so I was doing something right.
Then came pumping up to 100% to start cycling. I really had to struggle to get any inflation at all as the pump is hard as a rock. Plus my scrotum is still tender and crushing my sack around a rock hard pump was no picnic. Eventually managed to get a death grip on the pump and when I squeezed it I felt the valve inside pop, after which I was able to get about 6 hard pumps in before the pump went rock solid again.
I stayed pumped up until my crus started aching - about 45 mins. This time when i pressed the release valve I could feel the buzz in the AMS MS pump that indicated it was deflating. I squeezed my penis to get it fully deflated then put 1 hard press into the pump to switch the internal valves back to inflate mode.
Before surgery I was getting about 15.5 cm length with a VED. During surgery I was 13 cm. Now I'm about 14 cm at close to 100%, no glans engorement. So maybe when all is said and done I'll be 14.5-15 cm length.
It is so nice to be deflated and wearing regular clothes again. No complaint about the trouser bulge I have now, either.
