Weening my self off the oxy today. With pain, I always need to go heavy with medication early and get off fast. 8 orthopedic surgeries have taught me a lot about my ability to handle pain. Funny thing with the opioids, they do not put me to sleep, so a bit tired.
All bowel functions are as they should be. Scrotom is the size of a very large orange, with some pain radiating up and out. First bowel movement was a little dicey, but mostly because of anticipate pain. Frozen peas are my friend. No bleeding, or discharge.
Now, to the penis. I was only pumped to 20%, so I have a bit of flexibility in it placement. Further, I have a freelance project next week, and Kramer cleared me for it. While my bulge is impressive, it is not obscene. Close but I think its okay. Kramer did shoot a video of me, and it looked really great. I am swollen but I can also tell that my girth has grown and I am really pleased by that. I think I am going to keep my length and gain some girth, really pleased.

Made the mistake of looking at a little porn (just so much news I can watch in a day, need to get a new book) and with the function I had left, that was not comfortable. Quickly got those images out of my head.
The upshot is that the procedure itself was, while not painless, so much easier than i had imagined. Now, i have been warned that days 5/6 can be a bitch, but thinking positive.
Guys, again, thanks for being a sounding board. I am lucky to have good support at home and here. Helps immeasurably.

Re: Day Three
DC,
All good to hear. Rest and more rest. You'll probably feel like you're able to do X,Y, or Z, and then afterwards regret it. I felt a little guilty and silly laying on my back so often for at least ten days, but for me, walking, standing and sitting up took their toll. All good now except sitting up for extended periods.
If you get the day 5 or 6 "WTF did I do?", call me if you'd like.
I'm headed to see Kramer on Monday for activation.

OMG, I watched him slamming those forceps and measuring tool up your shaft and I swear I felt the pain...Jesus he's rough. The end result looks great though. Welcome to the bionic brotherhood.

DC,
Glad your recovery is going well. I tried to respond to your PM, but it seems to be stuck in my outbox. Did you receive it? How do I get approval to send PMs?

Re: Day Three
Sorry guys, fell asleep...LOL. Morton, got your PM and responded. Its funny, I watched the video and I had specifically told Kramer I was willing to endure the pain necessary to get the best size. He did exactly as I asked. And he isn't joking about the girth. While there has to be swelling, I am definitely thicker.
Doing my best to stay on my back, but I am bored out of my mind. I think the dog is even bored watching me.

DC, the boredom is tough, but you'll get through it. Better than not being bored and having a setback. I way overdid it a week after my prostatectomy and it knocked me back by a least a week. So this time I played complete wuss. Didn't do much other than chill, and at the first sign of pain or discomfort, it was back to horizontal. Everyone's different, I'd just suggest you err on the side of wussiness.

P. S. Give the dog a good petting for me. I miss mine terribly.

Re: Day Three
Ed,
Yes I am. Overall, I'm feeling good. Thanks.
Still puzzled about whether or not I am deflated -- not as girthy and more flexible than it was (I've been squeezing the shit out of the deflate button -- but without any noticeable "event"), but still pretty hard. Have tried to inflate, but can't get that third nut to crack a bit. Will keep trying, but at worst, Kramer will get things going on Monday.
