Thanks to those who have talked to me. I have an install date for my surgery and finding it surreal.

I appreciate this site! Thanks and any suggestions are appreciated.

Oh man. Those days of just-prior to the surgery were the longest days of my life.

Reminded me of my skydiving days in college. I remember my first jump. During that looong airplane ride up i was plagued with fear & doubt. I remember telling myself “it’s not too late, you can ride back down”.

But my desire to experience skydiving overruled my fear and i choked it down and jumped. Enjoyed it so much i became an enthusiast for a few years.

The implant was the same. Those days prior, with a surgery date set, are “the airplane ride up”. You know you can call it off anytime. In my case, i had to make the leap….

…because i wanted my sex life back!

And now, it’s back! :D

Also, try to get some exercise in during this time.
This will alleviate some nerves and anxiety plus get your general health in a better place.

You WILL be out completely during this operation and being at your best both mentally and physically is a really good idea,

Good Luck!

4rest4rest,
Congrats on scheduling the implant. It's a big step. By next tax time you should be more than happy.

I've been doing bromalene (pineapple extract) for a long time. Hopefully that will cut it.
