7 day update As I write this, it is almost exactly 7 days after I awoke in the operating room in Houston.
I am feeling pretty great overall. I have very little pain overall, though occasionally I still get some discomfort near the glans and on the testicles. The severity of the discomfort has gone down each day since peaking around day 3.
I am able to walk for longer distances than before. It tends to get painful when the balls bounce up and down, making contact with the pump, so after awhile walking a growing feeling of tenderness develops. I find that by walking slower I can eliminate that pain completely.
Switching positions from sitting to standing to laying down is no longer uncomfortable. Flexing my abdominal muscles does not cause pressure on the reservoir anymore. I am still not exercising, however. I would love to start exercising soon but doctor Clavell advises to wait until 6 weeks. I feel like I will still start some mild stretching and body weight movements, just to combat this new sedentary lifestyle however.
The bruising has gone down significantly. It is still most prevalent on the lower part of the ball sack. The bruises are not painful to touch and they are definitely healing steadily. I have been eating pineapple chunks because I've heard they help your body heal from bruising. No clue if it's helped, but visually I'm happy with how fast the skin is returning to a normal color.
I have not yet found a comfortable place for my semi-inflated erection at all times. I bought various underwear recommended by this site (separatec, among others) but it's still not very comfortable when walking. I tuck my penis downwards; I know the general recommendation is to do it upwards but I find that impossible with my anatomy. If anyone has any recs on that I'd be happy to hear it.
Overall, pleased with my recovery and I feel certain the worst parts are behind me. Now I'm just settling into this new life pattern and hoping for nothing to go wrong. Wish me luck
