I was eagerly looking forward to my penile implant surgery, originally scheduled for yesterday in Philadelphia, PA. I jumped through all the hoops, had clearance from my family doctor and my cardiologist, thought I was ready to go. But three weeks ago I got a call from my surgeon's office saying my ...

At least you still have your sense of humor.

I'm curious where the info comes from that is the basis for some saying implant surgery is on the decline. It was mid-December 2017 when I finally finished jumping through all the hoops to get my surgery scheduled, and it's set for March 1st, 2018, not because I was putting it off, but because that ...

I'm not "advertising" my upcoming surgery, but I'm not overly concerned about keeping it a secret, either. Maybe I'm less concerned because of my age (almost 66). But I want my adult sons to know about it. I've already told my oldest son, and will share with the younger one before surgery,...

Me too... I love my recliner. :) Larry Oh, that answers another question. I saw a number of posts that talk about recovering in bed, but I was hoping to spend time in my recliner, which makes TV and Internet available to me.
