Alibaba! Glad to see that you finally made it into the Bionic Brotherhood!
Wait a while before you even think of making observations. It will be numb, bruised and downright belligerent. The only thing that I would manipulate is the pump to make sure that it is low enough, but it seems like yours is already in a good place. Just keep an eye (hand) on it. Everything is really hard at the beginning: the tubes, pump, release valve, etc. Don't let that bother you. I was in way worse shape after my procedure - they had to leave the catheter in for 5 more days, pain was bad for two weeks and I could not get the pump working for about 6 weeks. Now at 6 months I have zero pain, full sensation on my penis, testicles and all adjacent areas and have gotten the hang of the mechanism, which for me was tricky. You have to figure that you have a complex mechanism interwoven with the interior of your physical body. And where I squeeze the bulb to release the lock-out mechanism actually makes a difference in having it operate properly. So, as a result, it takes more practice to do this than to drive a car.
If it's any consolation, the apparatus that is now inside of you is WAY more exotic and expensive (also individually hand built) than your HP laptop!
