Countdown to New Dick Day August 2nd

All:
This site has been a terrific help to me. I had increasing ED for years, and the pills worked well for quite a while. Then slowly the erections wouldn't last, and then they would sometimes not appear. My wife was very "understanding" and supportive -- but of course women can't understand it all. The cycle of depression-ED-depression-... Is brutal.
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 1/17 and had a robotic RP 3/17. Lost over an inch off my already small dick, and zero erections. Tried pumping to rehabilitate and injections for rehab and intercourse. Was barely successful twice, but highly un-satisfying for either of us. The pain with the trimix was terrible, the bimix not so bad.
So I finally bit the bullet and scheduled a consultation and surgery with Dr. Kramer for August 1 and 2. He said to stop the pumping and only inject for lovemaking, not re-hab. I know a lot of guys (and their doc's) recommend pumping prior to surgery, but I'm going with another piece of advice that I've read here many times -- trust your doctor and follow his or her directions.
Going on two week vacation starting tomorrow. Vacation used to mean sex every day. So glad this will be my last with a dick that doesn't work, and all the mental and emotional satisfaction that comes with that.
Wondering what the little vials and syringes will deliver.... The big day will be two weeks after I return. I am excited and nervous as hell.
All of the sharing that goes on here helped me make sooner, rather than later, the decision that was inevitable . The recurring theme of "only regret is that I didn't do it years earlier" got me to move. Have to admit, the recurring theme that the first week or more may be worse than no fun at all scares me. Sounds like the recovery will be more intense than that from the prostatectomy. But the results should be well worth it.
Still hard to believe I am actually going through with this. And thanks to all who helped me get this far.
