Thanks Jerry Im glad that the misunderstanding was cleared up.

I think your blog of journey has helped many a guy considering an implant.

Not sure if this is the place to post my question. Please forgive if it isn't and direct me the the proper place.

Two days ago (3 days post implant surgery), the swelling peaked. I wasn't really very sore until that point. I have been since then due to the pressure. I've had no fever, no other bad symptoms, including no evidence of infection, sent my picts to my urologist who did the surgery. He says the bruising was fairly extensive, but superficial. I continue with ice packs and Tylenol 2.

Anyone had a similar experience who might have a 'guestimate' befoe the swelling might begin to significantly recede?

Many thanks!

Stand by, Brian. There are a bunch of guys here who know all about bionic boners. No doubt they will share their experiences and give you some recovery tips. What I know for sure is that rest is an important factor in ANY recovery.

All the best,
