Got a Date

And it's December 14th!
16 years ago I had a penile vascular duplex test to confirm venous leakage.
My penis was wrapped with a measuring device and was given a shot of prostaglandin.
My penis barely reacted, the experience took hours and was painful and humiliating.
Venous Leakage...
Today I had a doppler test performed to confirm what I already knew.
The experience today is so much easier. They didn't even need to try and induce an erection (no needles or pills down the urethra!). They simply took the imaging wand to different points on my penis to measure velocity. Once they get the velocity they are able to calculate pressure, pretty cool.
This took all of 15 minutes and was painless.
The results were interesting: the left side had decent pressure and mild leakage but the right side had low pressure and major leakage.
I spoke with Dr. Sawh afterwards, he said despite the fact I am much younger than most that opt for the implant, I am a perfect candidate for the procedure.
We then set the date for surgery and confirmed with my health insurance that they will cover the cost.
Christmas is coming early this year and though I won't be able to unwrap my present until January, this feels like the greatest gift I could hope for.
