You hear or fell a little click telling you the pump is back in inflate mode and continue pumping. This is rare, 2 -3 three times in 4.5 years. Deflate and then restart also works for that case.
My problem now is that everything acts like for some reason the pump can't get any more fluid to pump. Kinked tubing should be a more or less constant problem. My problem is just like pumping the last liquid out of a jar all works well until.
Just have to slow down and not put so much stress on the new one when it is in.If the next wears out in 4.5 years I will have had fun wearing it out. My urologist said the more you use it the quicker it wears, my wife just blushed.
Well I must say, you are taking it in good spirits. Tells me you must have loved those 4.5 years.
Does it bother you any that you have to go through it all again. I guess after four years the procedure is a distant memory. Where in the heck would it leak? The tubing connections more than likely huh. I'm not real sure how goes in. Does it go in with the tubing already connected, or does the doctor connect it all after everything is installed. If that's the case, I can see how a connection could blow out. I hope I get at least 4.5 years out of mine.
