Jere's Journey

[Terry1094]

Your URO told you that you can start pumping at 2 weeks? wow! I'll be four weeks on Monday, still won
t see uro for another week and a half after that. I think the first time I get this thing where it belongs, it will take ananosecond for lift off!

Day 9

Day 9
As you can see the swelling and brusing has gone way down.
Day 3 & 4 was the worst. I was amazed how the brusing came on at day 3.

P.S. the hot tub was wonderful last night and getting ready to get back in.

I hope it all works out. GOOD LUCK!! You'll do great, the penile implant is the best decision you'll ever make. It's not exactly like the erection you had when you were a young man, you need to get your brain in sync with your penis- it won't just happen automatically. Anyway, I went to a surgeon in Baltimore named Dr. Kramer- he's under 40 years old but one of the best. He does Coloplast implants, just FYI. He'll do AMS LGX implants, but you have to twist his arm. This is a whole other topic. I researched who I wanted to do my implant for over a year, I think I made the right choice. I just wish I never had my prostate removed, that's the part I regret. Let me know if you have any questions. TR

Jere,
They do stretch a bit as healing goes on. Will eventually post more to my journey, been too busy of late.

Starting from six fully pumped have managed to expand it to 6 1/2 fully pumped. The numbers will differ but you will see expansion as healing progresses. The time span for me was 4 weeks between week 4 and now week 8.

Looking forward to hearing you are enjoying your new tool. Your healing looks great and only 1 incision.

Day 10
Still have some brusing around the penis behind the glans and a few spots on the penis itself.
Notice that I'm a little longer. I got two pumps in last night in the tub. What a dummy!
With swelling around most of the pump, I can't get to the deflate button, so now I'm stuck with more of a hard on.
DO NOT INFLATE UNTIL YOU CAN GET TO THE DEFLATE BUTTON!
I guess we all can't wait to start playing with our new toys.

ADay 10
With two good hot soaks behind me, the stiches are starting to soften up. These are the dissolving type, So Dissolve Already!
This is the area where there is still some swelling, around the pump and the tubing from the pump to the cylinders.

Day 10
Just behind my finger tips is where the tubing goes into the cylinders (in relationship to the incision).

Day 11
The stitches are hiding!
You can still see some brusing around the circumsision scar area, normally you can't see that at all.
The brusing in the pubic area is also going away, that was caused from being taped up at the hospital.
The scrotum needs to lighten up a little more.

Day 11
The other side.
Going on three days with the extra "hard-on".
Still can't get to that dang button!
