I joined the team!

Postby computerman » Thu Mar 03, 2016 1:34 am

Hello everyone,

Today, I went in and had the Titan installed by a doctor in Davis. After writing to a few of you guys on here about the operation, that today I went in early this morning and had it done. I went in at 7:30 in the morning and left about 1:30 or so. The only problem I am having right now is a sharp pain now and again where the catheter is at. Tomorrow, I will have the drain and the catheter removed so that should make the healing a lot better. I do want to say thanks to all the posts as to what I should do before the operation, and now after.
I will later on as the healing goes on. Thanks again!chi

Don't freak out when you see your penis for the first time after surgery. You likely will have swelling and even some bruising. It will look very different in a few days.

Congratulations. Take it easy and enjoy the excuse to binge watch television or just lay around on the sofa and read a book. Soon enough you will be ready for action. :-)

Day 2. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Pain when lying down so went to a recliner chair and did a little better. I went to the doc in the after noon and everything looks good. Took out the catheter and the drain. Boy, that was fun (Not)! Resting comfortable and I my took a pain pill in the morning only for the pulling of the drain tub and catheter. Won't see the doc again until middle of April to test the thing unless I get a fever or infection comes. As of now, I have taken 2 Pain pills and a few ibuprofen. I have brusing on my penis and scrotum. I think I am lucky (if you want to say that I am. I didn't think so back then) is that I had testicular cancer so thry removed my cancerous "nut" so I had spare room down there for the pump. Taking it easy for the rest of the day.

Day 3: Slept a little better last night. Was able to try and sleep on my side without too much pain. Had a pillow between the legs and that helped. All I have been taking is the ibuprofen and ice bag. Had a shower and first time seeing it black and blue (I didn't see when the doc took out the catheter and the drain). Walked a bit around the house but other than that, ice and rest for the day.

Welcome! It gets better every day after the surgery, so just wait for the first two weeks to go by and you will be a happy camper.
