Hopefully my final follow-up.
I saw my doctor again yesterday, 5 weeks and 4 days after implant surgery. He cleared me for everything--including riding my bike! I am cycling my MS Pump twice per day and he said that I should continue that for as long as I feel it is beneficial. I feel great and the new equipment works great. I am already very comfortable with it and have adjusted to the feeling of the pump in my scrotum. I am lucky in one respect in that by having one testicle removed during the implant surgery, there is plenty of room for the pump.
I asked him a few questions--like where is the reservoir? He pointed out the location and I have to admit--I could not tell that it was there. I suspected it, but have not had any pain or other feeling associated with the operation or placement of the reservoir.
I had a question about the pump, and how much more I can pump after the bulb goes hard--he assured me that I won't break it or the tubing by adding a few more small pumps to continue to increase my girth and length. I am getting about 10 pumps right now--which makes it perfect for use. I have been adding a few more squeezes during cycling to expand girth and length. He said that unless I used vise grips, I probably could not break the pump or implant--and I reminded him that that would not be fun since my scrotum is in the way. We laughed.
I got on my studio cycle yesterday after the appointment and did a workout--but had to end early because my penis went numb, cold, and a bit blue--I need to make some adjustments--but those were expected. I will see how it goes this afternoon. I am trying to get back into shape to begin cycling outdoors as soon as the weather is nice.
I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have experience now and gain more each day. I am willing to share my experiences with anyone who has questions. And I will be commenting on other threads as I believe I can help or clarify. I send a big Thank-you to the guys on the board who have supported me through this time. You all are great. This is truly a special group of guys who mutually support each other and I am happy to be a part of it. It is life-changing.
