Home and recovering

Postby Phndoc » Mon Jun 17, 2024 2:44 pm

Thank you all for the support. Wife is helping me and I am resting in bed. I only have some discomfort in my abdomen at this time. Now, peeing that is another story.

Welcome to the other side of ED ! What's most important now is healing and cleanliness. Sanitize everything in the bathroom. Keep your hands washed when handling your new and improved equipment. Do this and your incisions will heal beautifully. Not getting an infection is priority #1 ! Congratulations....you're gonna love being bionic.

Cleanliness...cleanliness...cleanliness. Rest...rest...rest. Ice on, ice off, ice on, ice off. Walk around dining room table for mild exercise, when you feel comfortable. Time will fly by.

Home already? I was implanted exactly 2 weeks ago. Overnight hospital stay, mainly for the foley catheter.

It was rough the first week, but second week with staples out at 1-week mark, it trended better each day. Swelling and bruising are fading away. Starting to resume some sense of normalness again.

So, relax, ice, rest, ice, rest and repeat. We'll get through this!
ED worsened over 25 years, likely VL. Went through pills and injections, and results faded over time. Implant AMS 700CX, 21 cm, no RTE, on 6/3/24.

Congratulations on getting the implant. You will never regret it. Best thing they could have invented for men suffering from ED. I am on my third implant and I have enjoyed everyone and I am sure you will also.

For about a week you will be sore, my scrotum turned purple for a few days, but within a week I started getting back to normal. Ice packs every hour will bring the swelling down. I never needed pain pills. Took four weeks and the doctor gave me the green light to start exercising the new tool. WOW! I was so happy to see that thing get hard again. My spirit was up and running, I was around 58 years old on the first, now I am 81 in great health and still enjoying the LGX.
