I’m having so many racing thoughts about what I might be giving up. I still get erections when having sexual thoughts but I guess they’re not strong enough for penetration. I’ve been through pills and then injections. The injections caused big scarring after a year. Anyway I guess I just need reassurance that I’m making the right decision.
Also kinda dumb question: we had plans to meet people at a restaurant 4 days after tomorrow, would that be crazy? When can I go shopping or driving?

If you have the swelling I had,I wouldn’t plan on anything for at least two weeks!But there are some on here who had little to none and could get around pretty good!When you get home ice and more ice!!!

Should I really get the frozen bags of peas that everyone talks about or just use an ice bag.

Peas certainly work,I bought an ice bag and it worked great!

The only downside to frozen peas. It they thaw and the bag leaks, you could end up with pea juice on your bandage. Yes this happened...

Frozen peas a really much better than ice--they conform to the shape of your body better.

4-5 days is really pushing it. I would have been able to, but I was a fast recovery. I actually have a revision scheduled tomorrow and am planning a date for Saturday so I guess I'll be pushing it too. Good luck brother.

Btw, I believe that on day 6 I went of a short hike, short around (basketball), mowed, and took my daughter shopping. All with zero narcotics. There is a lot that went into my recovery... youth, infrapubic, a drain for 2.5 days and mostly on my back for 2.5 days.

I used frozen black eyed peas, and just put the whole package in a zip lock baggie. Worked better for me than the ice pack did because it didn't shape to my genitals enough.

At 4 days of surgery, you don't know how much inflated you will be. Your doctor will probably send you 70% inflated or more. Better not to push this meeting as other brothers mentioned.
Get a stool softener as you may get constipated the first couple of days.
All the best!

Best of luck to you ViaSwiss
