Re: Question for prostatectomy guys
On the leakage front, post-RP I was in the big boy pants for a couple of weeks before working my way down to maybe 10-20ml/24 hour leakage at 3-4 months with lots of kegels. Implant 40 days ago; leakage only slightly worse in the immediate aftermath and now back to where I was pre-implant, or better...

I'll total up my expenses when all the statements have come in, but I'm estimating less than 1/3 of that cost, treating AUD and USD as equivalent.

Re: 70 Days Post Op
At 30 days I have significant, er, "discomfort" most of the time - to the point that I've not been able to get back to work yet and sleep is much disturbed. But there are short periods of relief. It's slow, that's all. If I didn't have such a fucking humungous dick (with additional nerves ...

Re: need help finding the deflate button.
I, too, found difficulty at 2 weeks with the Titan (and some beyond, I gotta say). It was easier if I located the dished bit on the bottom of the valve with my middle finger first: for me that was easier to identify by touch than the button on top. Maybe because of my particular pattern of swelling?...

Re: Pump placement
Your nuts politely move aside to make way for the new guest. That has, in my case, involved post-op swelling buildup around the pump and its plumbing, but that is gradually going down. The expansion/contraction of the scrotum in response to heat and cold seems to work as it did before, the only diff...

Re: Canadian journey (the voyage starts)...
Hey Expo I can't offer any insight into your device, I'm afraid, but can offer some suggestions on other points you raise. For constipation I recommend an iso-osmotic laxative such as Osmolax or Movicol.. They are much gentler on us than boosters of fibre or those that cause cramps. At this time, ge...

Re: Sliphills journal
A warm bath - even very warm - may bring blessed relief. While prescribed opiates have their dangers, they are mighty effective in achieving their purpose of pain relief. To address constipation, in my experience iso-osmotic laxatives like Movicol and Osmolax are effective in bulking up and softenin...
