Check in 6:45 this morning (11/24) dismissed at 11:45am with an LGX. And a four hour drive (by my wife later) I'm camping (on the couch)

Thanks to everybody on FT who got me through this answering my endless questions and concerns. To you guys, I owe a debt of gratitude ----- I think. Can't urinate without serious sting but figure grin and bare it for a day or two. At Mayo, they do the Dr. Eid no touch and no bumps in the road. Thanks farmer & Bill.

More to follow but promised my wife we'd go dancing tonight so out we go. Macho macho man!

Later.

Seriously? Dancing? Tonight? Good luck with that mate!

I hope you are being funny but congrats on the new equipment now lay horizontal for a few days and heal!!!! Congrats and have a great Thanksgiving with even more to be thankful for.

The only dance I'm doing tonight is The waddle.

Phewwwwwww

Way to go, Epsilon! I'm on deck for Monday and since you decided to go dancing, maybe my wife and I will go bowling!!! (Just kidding). Keep up with tips and insight, I know that I will be watching. Best of luck!!

In and out in 5 hours. Awesome! hope your recovery is just as quick. Now lay down and rest that f*#$er. It is going to need it. d

Glad to hear that things went the way I told you they probably would.
Make icing and resting your favorite activities for a few days.
Please keep in touch.

Random observations following my implant surgery three days ago (11/24).

1) Bladder spasms and burning on urination have been my most unpleasant occurrence. I've had these before for other surgery but if you're going in you might ask how they will help with this pain if you have it. They come on fast with the sensation of having to go immediately. And when you do go, it burns like hell. Been having these for three days now. Went to the local pharmacy and picked up an over the counter pill to ward them off but hard to really tell if it has helped. It's from the cath they used during surgery.

2) Pain is almost a non event except for the bladder spasms. Best way I can describe it is this: If you were going to do two sets of 20 situps and 20 pushups today.....then repeated those exercises tomorrow, you'd have some sore muscles in doing this. That's the pain I've encountered. Not bad, just not comfortable and those sore muscles only hurt when you move.

3) If you look at the head of your penis following surgery, you'll probably see two red (blood) pin holes. And that's exactly what they are from implanting, then pulling the string through to draw the cylinders up into place. You can observe this on you tube if you really want. I think it looks lots worse than it is. Anyway, that's the third area of discomfort. They sting for a day and a half.

4) Lastly, I think my abdominal pain (cramps) might be from pumping gas into my abdomen to better see what they're doing in there. There are some docs on here that can comment on this. I had some mild discomfort from that which I suspect was from inflating my abdomen for the reservoir placement. LIke having hernia surgery.....when you cough, you're sore enough to notice.

My surgery was done at Mayo Clinic - Rochester as an outpatient procedure. If any other questions, just ask.

Thanks for sharing. My revision surgery was 11/11. My scrotum was really swollen, it still is swollen today i went all day without pain pills i still feel lots of discomfort. I am remaining in bed laying flat as i can with ice
