First,, I want to thank all of you who wrote in with your support. It means a lot to me. Sunday 28 Dec Day 59 I’ve started this entry a number of times, in my mind. I’m having a hard time both in thinking about my situation and in keeping my spirits up. I haven’t succeeded on the latter point. To pu...

I'm writing from my cellphone in the hospital. I'll write more later when I have access to a computer. Simply put, they found a major infection No longer bionic and may never be. Needless to say I am most distraught and angry. Thanks for all the support and happy relations - you are entitled. Sabaon...

Sunday 14 Dec Day 45 Not a good day. I had a fever for two days, in addition to strong scrotal pain (see above), and last night I had seepage that looked brownish on the pad I wore. This morning my patient and attentive wife checked the area of seepage and saw puss along the incision line. Previous...

A long one. Friday 12 Dec Day 43 Happily an uneventful day vis-à-vis problems. Pain recap: None in the pubic fat area, and I can squeeze the penis with no pain. The glans are still sensitive when bumped or gently squeezed. The scrotum is light years better with just a spot or two of pain near the pu...

Zac, I appreciate your concern and words of comfort. You have truly been an inspiration to me and others. Part of your enthusiasm has rubbed off. In spite of the continuing problem I'm having (and you can see the next entry), I don't regret the step I've taken to bionic-hood!!

Wednesday 10 Dec Day 41/Thursday 11 Dec Day 42 - 6 weeks I took care with the AM shower and didn’t squeeze the pump nor rub hard with a towel, so no bleeding. Uneventful day, thank goodness. Thursday started off fine and is continuing as such. This is the first day since the bleeding that I haven’t...

Of course everyone is different, and I know nothing about hernias. That said, I, and others on this forum, have had prostetectomies and that has not been a hindrance to having a 3-piece inflatable installed. I had no mesh as part of the prostate removal process. Have you contacted other more experie...

Thanks for the responses. I remember the doctor saying it was stitched, yet my wife, who was in the office at the time, remembers him saying it will descend. seems like contradictory statements. Mine,as i wrote, is located forward, in front of the testicles. The doc said he placed it there so it wou...

Tuesday 09 Dec Day 40 Today started off uneventful until I took a shower and decided to try to pump. Squeezed somewhat hard to no visible effect. Then when I got out of the shower, toweled off, rubbing the whole genital area, including the sac, to make sure it was dry. I saw spots on the floor unde...

Monday 08 Dec Day 39 Saw no seepage today. Showered and lathered with Neosporin and was out all day with a lot of walking. The scrotum still has a sensitivity when walking. The skin directly over the pump is very sensitive on the front and side but not from the back. I think I remember the surgeon ...
