Day 15
Left Side
Notice the upper right side where you can see a little bend, I'm getting the "bent straw" feeling in that spot.
If I could do a pump or two or completly deflate, that would stop that.

Day 15
Incision after a hot shower.
Several days before my surgery, just before getting out of the shower, I would rub down with Betadine.
I have continued doing this because the stitches are dissolving and get softer towards the end of the shower.
I might be over reacting about germs, but it hasn't hurt anything.

Day 16
Right Side
Not much change from yesterday.
I still have some discomfort on the upper right scrotum area where the tube to the cylinder goes up through the Inguinal Canal.

Day 16
Tubing above the pump.
Looks and feels like there is enough tubing in there to water the front lawn!

Day 16
Last but not least, the incision.
The final little piece of stitch came off in the shower this morning. Yea!
(The stitch can be seen in Day 15.4 at the bottom of the incision.)
Once this flattens out, it should blend right back in to the natural scar that we all have. :roll:
You can also see the outline of the bottom of the pump.
