I'm finally feeling more like myself so here goes my journal.
Day 1 - surgery:
The surgery itself wasn't bad at all (penoscrotal with a spinal block anesthesia). That was the easiest part. They make you change into a gown and wait until its your turn to go in. I walked into the surgery room, met the team, and it was go go go from there. They stuck one needle in my arm for IV, didnt feel it. Then they made me sit up and bend over / hug my pillow so they can do the spinal block anesthesia. They first injected the area with some numbing medication so I barely felt anything. Next thing I know my legs were numb / paralyzed then they sedated me with some other drug and I woke up 2 hrs later in the recovery feeling 100% fine and normal.
Over the next 2 hrs my pain started to shoot up as the anesthesia was wearing off. They left a catheter in me which was honestly the most painful part. It took me 6 hours to regain full feeling and control in my legs and i was discharged from the hosptial. I had a friend pick me up. And I had a catheter bag I had to hold in my hand and take home with me.
Day 1 - night:
The pain from my catheter was very painful I'd say 6-7/10. I was prescribed 3 different pain killers, I would take all 3 and tylenol extra strength and still the pain wouldnt go away. My balls also were swollen up like a grapefruit. I didnt sleep that night till 4am when finally my balls started to shrink from all the icing. I also couldn't take very deep breaths as I could feel pain where they put the resrevoir.
Day 2:
Morning, I go to the urologists office to get the catheter removed. Holy fuck that sucks. I was scared to drink water because I didnt want to pee.
When I got back home I felt 100x better than the day before. I was no longer in pain (thanks to the catheter removal). I was just chilling in bed all day and icing my nuts. I don't do 20 mins on and off. I literally just keep a bag of frozen pees on my junk/nuts 24/7.
I can take deep breathes and dont feel the reservoir pain. But getting up and moving around i def feel the reservoir pain. My nuts are also swollen so moving or sitting is a bitch. Im mostly laying flat or reclined. I took a pic of my nuts and they were all blue.
At night I took my first piss, felt like i was peeing out razor blades and fire and lots of blood came out. No steady stream of urine. It was like little spurts that would aim everywhere except straight.
At night I slept like a baby. Again im in no pain. Just discomfort from swollen balls and resrvoir.
Day 3:
Still feeling great so far. Took my first shower this morning which felt good. I am feeling more like myself then these past 2 days. Nuts are still swollen so again, just laying down all day and constant icing. My pee this morning hurt significantly less than it did last night. I had a steady stream for over 1 minute and no blood! So I assume my bladders all good now. Still havent taken my first shit and I am not looking forward to that with my swollen balls. My balls without icing, like when I first wake up in the morning is the size of a grapefruit. When I ice all day they shrink to a size where they can actually fit in my hand. My nuts arent blue today they went back to their normal colour.
