Malleable journal - nervous but hopeful

[duke_cicero]

Day 5 post-surgery. Even less swelling than the day before. My dissolvable stitches are still in and haven't fallen out yet. Sitting for longer periods in my office chair has gotten considerably easier, especially with a couple of folded towels taking pressure off my groin. I'm still not really wearing pants except for sweat pants, and the pressure inside my penis is significantly less today than when I did so a day or two ago.

Peeing is significantly easier. I'm still peeing into a jug, because occasionally there's still a little wayward stream. But there's no longer any pain in my urethra, which was honestly the worst part of the pain I've experienced so far. In the first two days it felt like there was glass shooting out of my penis. But I read that (incredibly) this was normal. I’m impressed at how quickly the urethra was able to heal.

I got a call back from my surgeon’s office today that I shouldn’t even be attempting to bend the thing until after the first month, after I see him back at his office. On the one hand I totally understand this. On the other hand I’m worried that I won’t be able to go outside for a month unless I’m totally covered up. But I can do it for a month. It’s just the sacrifice I have to make. As for Christmas dinner in 8 days with friends and family, I’m not exactly sure what I’ll do. I need to get creative. Any ideas?

No real size loss. Like a “natural” penis, my implanted penis looks different in various positions — when I’m lying down, sitting at certain angles, or standing upright. I wasn’t too worried about size loss, but now that I’m looking at it, I honestly don’t think I’ve lost anything. Add to this that my surgeon said he put the longest possible Genesis inside me. I’m looking forward to taking Cialis if I want my glans to be extra engorged during sex.

All things considered, I’m pretty comfortable. I’m not taking the Vicodin I was given for pain because it makes me feel weird and I think it even makes me depressed. I’m controlling any remaining pain I have with ibuprofen and acetaminophen (Tylenol). At night, I take a Tylenol PM, which helps me get to sleep. For the past few days I’ve been sleeping like a rock. The first couple nights were an absolute nightmare. Everything felt weird, I was in all kinds of pain even with the narcotics, and I was honestly really scared.

Another interesting thing is that whenever I feel aroused, I feel my penis pulse around the implant. This is a very interesting and strange sensation, although also somewhat enjoyable. I’ve tried flexing my PC muscle over the toilet to make sure I get all the urine out of me, and I notice that I’m still able to make my penis bob up and down like I did before I had erectile dysfunction.

I’m doing everything I can not to get too turned on before I’m cleared for sex. But I admit that now that I have a 24/7 hard-on, the desire is very much there. Have been distracting myself with classic movies, good podcasts, great books, and calls with old friends.

Thank you all for your continued support!! Means the world to me.

Duca_cicero well what can I say, it's fantastic to have put on a malleable and not to have lost any size, does your penis seem oval or round like before? What size implant did he put you in? Does this sound tough for any sex you want to have? I congratulate you, you will enjoy this system without the fear that one day some pipe or pump will break

Thank you! Also I realize it was a PM but thanks for letting me know that I measured my girth incorrectly, lol. 2" is definitely not the correct number...closer to 5. I think the painkillers were messing with my reasoning ability.

Thank you Frank - honestly it seems round like before but I think as I continue to heal up that could potentially change, not sure. He put in the longest malleable, he said, so I guess that's 27cm. But the rods are 11mm diameter. So I guess I'm just a little bit smaller than thedriver, who has the same implant (if I'm remembering his measurements correctly). If I'm standing upright I'm 6.5" long by roughly 5" around, but I don't have really scientific measurements.

But, I don't really care. It's basically the same as before, but ready for duty at all times. The thought alone has given me so much confidence and hope for the future.

Duke, very good update, I’m glad you’re doing well and healing up.
I was thinking about your Christmas dinner, would you be able to use a wheelchair to attend?
If they know that you’ve had some surgery procedure, that would be a good excuse, you’ve just got to find one. That’s the only thing that has popped in my head that could get you through this dinner. Maybe some other FT guys will have some other solutions.

Hey, there's an idea! Thank you for the suggestion. Holiday plans changed and we're going to be eating at a restaurant, so I think I might be able to get away with holding a cross-body bag in front of me, or something similar. Or, if my pants cooperate and I wear a long button-down, maybe I won't have to worry about it at all.

[thedriver]

You'll be fine by Xmas dinner, a little tighter underwear that day with a longer shirt, position it down one side and have a great X-mas,,,, these MPP's are worry free,,,,
So embrace that theory and live worry free brother,,, all is good,, think positive,,, and your right,, that fucking catheter sux,,, on my 3rd IPP they sent me back to the hotel with the catheter still in and told me to come back the next morning and have it removed,,,, what a long fucking night that was,,,, it's a good thing they had a female nurse that removed it the next day when I went in,,, because I went in there looking for a rumble I was in so much pain.

it's fantastic, consider that having never had an ipp, you don't know that it is very oval, therefore, if for you it seems almost the same, it means that it is more round than oval, which is another point in favor of the mpp, only one thing as you see it seems hard enough for any sexual activity?

Duke, if one of the cute girls notices, just tell them you’re excited to see them lol . I’m just kidding Duke, I hope the Christmas Dinner goes well.

Good luck
