My journey begins... A continuing Journal

I had my implant surgery 3 days ago. Hoping this will be the last stop in my ED roller coaster.
I've been a type II diabetic since 26. Used Viagra to combat ED during my first marriage. Ultimately it was not effective enough. Moved on to injections that worked well for 10 years into my second marriage. Increased injection med strength illustrated that the writing was on the wall. The injections became ineffective. That marriage has recently come to an end.
I do believe that ED was a major contributor to these marriage failures. Mistaken lack of connection and such.
It's now time to hit it with the ultimate hammer. Relationships are difficult and I want to remove sexual disfunction from the equation moving forward.
A couple days before my surgery I had to take COVID 19 test. No big.
My urologists have their own surgical center so check in was quick and easy. Wrote a $18,000 check as my insurance doesn't cover the procedure. Stripped down, blood pressure, temperature, blood sugar checked and answered the normal litany of pre-op questions.
Sitting alone in the pre-op room I had a rush of euphoria. Smiling and laughed for some reason. Felt like finally there was going to be a final solution for an issue that has been nagging at me for as long as I could remember. It was terrific.
The procedure was quick. Checked in at 8am and was home before noon. Doc inserted a AMS-700 CX @ 21cm. Picked up my oxycontin and an antibiotic. Doctor let me know that my penis was pumped up 30% erect.
First day was pretty fuzzy recovering from the anesthesia. Post op I felt more uncomfortable rather than being in actual pain. The catheter was far more of an issue that pain from the incision and implant.
My penis and balls were wrapped in a fair amount of gauss. The shaft was pointing up at my stomach. It was all being held together using a jock strap. There was swelling and numbness down there. Used frozen bean to ice the area. Slept on my back.
I am so fortunate to be in a new relationship with a terrific gal who just happens to be a nurse. She is fascinated with the procedure as well as completely more than capable of taking care of me as I heal. How did I get so lucky?
Second morning began with the removal of the catheter. (so thankful for my beautiful nurse GF). Of course not that much fun but man what a relief. Began peeing on my own into a urine jug. This is essential as my penis is pointing straight up towards my stomach. There is no was I could hit the toilet. Plus I didn't have much feeling in my penis. She sat on the toilet and placed my partially erect cock into the urine jug as a forced out pee. It took a little force to push the pee through. The erection made this process a bit more difficult.
Took Oxy and Tylenol at monitored intervals through out the day. Stayed on the couch. Kept busy watching movies.
We discovered in these forums a great solution for holding ice packs against your nuts. Jockstrap and 2 under wears. Slipping the frozen peas or beans between the 2 layers of underwear holds everything in place.
Day 3 started with removal of the bandages and gauss. Felt great to get all this off of me. My semi erect penis requires peeing into the jug. Marked improvement in peeing. Not nearly as difficult.
Finally I was able to get a good look at my newly bionic dick. My balls looked bruised but are not all that sensitive. My penis looks pretty good. Not too much damage. Pain and discomfort has improved dramatically. I'm sitting on the couch looking at it with delight.
This relationship is a very new one. We are sexually active with out penetration. I was hoping that my injections might work but they did not. So I revealed my interest in the IPP to her after only dating a couple of weeks. She is extraordinary and caring. Excited to see how this all works. I could not be luckier. This entire process is clearly going to be a bonding process for both of us.
I'll continue to post my progress. Would love to hear your questions or tips!
Off we go!
