Recovery journal for an old soldier

6/16/26 recovery day 1

​

Slept really well although I am not usually a back sleeper. Lounged around yesterday after surgery between naps. No actual pain although the skin on my thighs burns when the Tylenol wears off. I am taking meds as directed. Haven't needed to take gabapentin yet. Here in our abnb I'm just allowing everything toout but when we leave the room the word of the day is bring ice and baggy shorts.

​

We planned to leave today headed 9hrs to home but when we saw the weather coming in decided to postpone 1 more day. We are breaking the trip in two parts and do not want to get stuck somewhere in the storm.

I got a chance to read the surgeons report, nothing remarkable other than when they induced erection I had about a 30° dorsal curve, which I knew about, from Trimix. I believe the Titan will address that or Dr clavell addressed it. My proximal and distal measurements totaled 23.5cm on both side. A 24cm titan trimmed by .5 cm was installed, no rear tip extenders. The implant as best I can see extended well into my glans. I was left at approximately 50% inflated. Although is mostly bandage what I see makes me hopeful that all of my stretching of tissue and the complete sizing will yield a great result. Will definitely be a shower now.

​

Well back to the ice bags and relaxing. Please feel free to comment ask questions and for those who are trying to decide if it is worth it, on day 1 I would say totally worth it to have a reliable function penis.
