My wife and I just returned from our second long road trip since I was activated. We wrecked the sheets in 3 hotel stays and in the guest rooms of family members in Florida and North Carolina. While in Florida we went to Panama City beach for a day where I got to relentlessly check out the bikini bodies on the sly when my wife wasn't looking. I had a big smile on my face KNOWING what I could do for those young things if my circumstances were different! A sad event took place while there. I was right at the shore when a 60 year old man was brought up on a rescue surfboard after drowning in the rip tide. I looked right in his face not 20 feet from me while a man and woman were restraining his hysterical wife. It was horrible seeing what she was going through. I immediately thought of how lucky I was to have my wife for the past 38 years who has stood by me through 18 major surgeries and two decades of ED.
I'm completely acclimated to the implant as if I've always had one. The things I can physically feel that bothered me early on are my new normal now and I never think about it anymore. I inflate to the max every night before bed and sleep with a glorious hardon. My mental outlook is on an entirely new plane now. My picture is in the Webster's dictionary newest edition by the word Confidence. My wife's pic is by Happiness. Everybody is responding to me in a better way now that the unexpungeable shame of ED no longer defines me and how I relate to people. I'm especially enjoying how I talk to ALL women now with a gleam in my eye. If I was any better Congress would legislate against how great I am because no man should be this complete. The old saying life sucks and then you die no longer applies. Now it's life rocks and you die smiling!

Re: THIS IS ME NOW...
great to hear, dave. i go in nov 3. hope mine is as successful as yours!
updated: 70 y.o., implanted with titan nov. 3 by Dr. Brady in orlando to correct peyronies. 20 cm with 3 cm RTEs. due to the severity of the peyronies, some internal excisions were made scrotally, recovery will probably take a little longer.
Re: THIS IS ME NOW...
Congratulations Dave! I am so happy for you. My surgery was just 5 weeks ago so I am not quite at your point in the recovery process, but already enjoying my new normal. Best wishes Mr. Confidence.

I'd posit this isn't the finish line but the start of a whole new race. I'll nere forget an old guy I used to work with telling all the guys his teenage son got laid for the first time over the past weekend. He added "the race is on now that he got it wet".

Dave,
Thanks for sharing. It's probably been close to 50 years since I heard that phrase!
I'd completely forgotten about "getting it wet". I'll be chuckling about this all night. Especially if I get little Bob all wet tonight.
