Re: My Journal
The question on my mind is what did your wife think? At this point my wife is bouncing around between, "you will never be satisfied if you don't get it" and " I do not know why you are doing this", and I do not know if I can live through you having another surgery, hop eI live through it", upset about the cost, worried something will happen, and asking when and how we are going to do it after it is installed.

Well, that sounds like a description of what my wife said before, except the 'another surgery' part.
Right now she is not saying much. We've just seen each other for the first time in one month. The short day yesterday was consumed by all the practical stuff. We had a few hours yesterday, it was unpacking, cooking, saying hello and how was your holidays to all neighbours, taking care of a completely jet lagged kid, etc, etc. and right after the sex we fell asleep in 10 seconds both of us. At 8 pm. Jet lagged and sleep deprived.
She is still sleeping now at 10 am after being up twice in the middle of the night cooking for and playing with our jet lagged kid still on Scandinavian time...

Re: My Journal
Sex that is not sleep deprived coming up. Rest up man. You don't have much time. Sleep deprivation can wreck healing too. I've been able to prove it with my own lab numbers 3 years ago as one of my crazy projects. Many sets of labs showed a clear difference how values would improve with rest and deteriorate rapidly with excess fatigue. You are young and healthy so the impact probably is not as quick or great but it is there. Be well. d

Way to test it out and prove that the parts are working. The next two weeks were great for getting back to normal. Certainly getting used to a new flaccid takes some time but it will continue to mold more to you as well. In terms of weakened state, that's just as simple as getting up your pre surgery work out routine. It will all happen, just ease into it.
Stay well!

Re: My Journal
Day 25 post op
Went out to our Condo's gym. Normally working out for me means slamming a 5*5 Deadlift at 390 lbs. Or playing good level of tennis two hours outside in the afternoon in the extreme heat and humid climate I live in.
Now I got on a cross trainer for 20 minutes in slow motion. My puls was ridiculously high and I was sweating a lot for the tiny work I did. Holy Crap!
Does my fitness deteriorate that fast by basically doing nothing for four weeks, or is this some weird side effect of the implant surgery?
Regarding wife's impression of yesterday's inauguration:
She said that if she had met me yesterday for the forst time and had sex, she would not have felt anything unnatural during the intercourse.
She says that when grabbing the balls it is obvious though that something is not right (as in normal) in there. Again, if she had met me for the first time she wouldn't have guessed it was an implant. She didn't even know they existed before I told her about them. She would have no idea what it is in there, but for sure, something is in there.
I only pumped it to some sort of 'comfort' level since I wanted to minimize risk of pain.
I need around 30 pumps to get an erection which could be used for penetration. 50 is fully inflated. I was at 35 yesterday.
She said she felt the hardness was about same as on a good day pre-op. Could not feel any difference on length and felt that it was maybe a little bit thinner now.
I do notice a clear difference between 35 pumps and e.g. 45. Mostly in stiffness, but also in girth.
So there is more to have...

I went back to the gym for the first time last week. I looked & felt weak next to the regular guys I used to workout with. My strength was non-existent and couldn't even lift half the weights and worse of all, had no endurance and felt exhausted from a few reps. I do believe muscle memory will help out very quickly but this op has somehow sucked the life out and I don't know why. I had an op last year, when I couldn't exercise for 6 weeks but don't remember struggling this much.

Re: My Journal
Congrats Merrix. And thanks for being another voice of balanced reality but also in the midst of not perfect being willing to share the good as well as the not perfect yet. As you had happen, I was sore for the first month or two after sex which a couple of times made me worry but it was always gone quickly, and was usually after sex with more pumps and more physicality. And now I don't have pain during or after.
As to the weakness after a few weeks off my routine I also noticed that it seemed more than what I had experienced from recovery from past surgeries. I assumed that it was from stacking several surgeries during a year so that this was the third surgery or procedure in a year. I am starting to think that despite my being a doc and usually being very comfortable by the time I get to the surgery since that world is my world, that this was so overlayed with psychological ego related issues and concerns, that the mental and not just physical stress for years before and then will I be a success story for weeks after, that it really drained me. I am not a jock but very active physically, always able to do more than people half my age and always a pull myself up by my bootstraps tough New England Yankee. This ED penis thing evidently was deeper into my psyche than I thought. All that over sharing aside my strength and energy has taken a while but is back up and as I have mentioned before at least for me where I am today would not have been possible without the implant. And in ways beyond a hard penis. You are well on your way to recovery. With gradual increases you will be even better than before surgery by the sounds of your will power and methodical move forward. Again congrats.

Re: My Journal
Day 25 post op
Tried to be more active, which surely helps feeling better, but all the walking, sitting, and below described activities also made my dick remind me that it's not yet entirely healed by causing mild pain/discomfort.
Sex
After having very gentle and brief sex (first time) the night before, I had decided to skip it today after I got a bit sore from the act.
However, when I was lying there on my back in bed doing my cycling, the wife came in to the bedroom showing me how the (sexy) underwear I gave her this Christmas looked.
And they looked good.
So much for no sex that night.
A bit longer and a bit more rough this time. Still not long and still not rough beyond anything normal. Just a little longer and a little more intense than the day before.
It is great. My mind still has ED though and it's funny how my brain keeps waiting for the dick to go soft. But it doesn't...
This was definitely more though than I was ready for, and even though it didn't hurt during sex, it gave some issues later during the night. Just sore.

Re: My Journal
Great update Merrix. Yes the brain will indeed need some catching up with the new "equipment" but you have made a great start and this has made me feel quite encouraged about myself. Good luck with the work trip tomorrow (or probably later today, based on your time zone).
