3 weeks post-op!

Just had my 3-week check up. Ultrasound shows everything's better but there's still a lot of hematoma, too much to be sure about safely accessing the release button on the pump, so still can't start cycling. Scar tissue has started to form around the pump, which isn't a death sentence but it does mean that when I do cycle it's going to be harder because I have to break through that crust. And the longer it takes to start the worse it'll be. Catch 22. The hematoma has encrusted the tubing to the reservoir, and it's moved around funky so it feels like a chicken bone coming out the back of my scrotum into my taint (doc intentionally placed it low in my sack.) There's a bit of blood still pooled near the reservoir even though the bruising's gone, so ice more there. The PA went in deep and pumped me up to 70%, which looked and felt GREAT! but he had to deflate me before I went home. Keep up the ball-bondage and elevation, intermittent heat/cold, and Voltaren rubs. My foray into gentle caring self-love didn't do any damage, but I need to wait for further adventures in Onanism. Next week the sutures should come out, which means I'll be OK'd for sex (alone and with others), baths, swimming, etc. Maybe lifting again, too.
Might update photos later.

Hang in there Bear. Now that you've had an enticing preview of what to expect , stay positive and work through those small setbacks.
I've said elsewhere that I wasn't allowed to do anything at all for the first 6 weeks except run around with a ~30% boner 24/7.
So you're probably still ahead of where I was, and many of us have been on similar protocols.

Thanks man! Damn I don't think I'd have made it 6 weeks at 30%! We left mine at maaaaaybe 20-25% yesterday just to give it some fluff. I'm ready to play and it isn't, so I have to wait it out.
