Re: Prosthesis cost
I received my detail billing of my Bionic Implant. It was something that I would have never laid out the actual cash for. It was all covered by my insurance. They broke down the costs from the actual device to my pain pills, and all in-between. I'm sure there is mark-up $$$$$ in the entire billing.....

Re: My PT Surgery Progress...
Saturday…..Day 23 – Monday…..Day 25 I guess I have been more curious the past few days. I have began to touch, fondle, and lightly squeeze the pump. Over the past 3 days, I took warm showers, ice packs, placed warm hand towels on the area. I don’t see how anyone can be able to squeeze or pump this ...

Re: Playing around with my pump before first inflation...
Is it normal for the pump (Titan OTR) to be hard as a rock before the first inflation? I just felt it and cant imagine squeezing this thing a bunch of times before inflation ... I have the AMS 700. I have been just touching and fondling the pump bulb. I agree, this damn pump is a ROCK. Nothing soft...

Re: Need Pump info or illustrations videos
Didn't mean to not explain exactly.....Yes, I can feel the Pump bulb, but it's hard as hell, like a marble or rock. It's in the middle and floating in good space. And yes, I can feel that oblong thingy on top. But I don't have the nerve to try to pump that hard bulb or put the squeeze on that thing ...

Re: My PT Surgery Progress...
Tuesday…..Day 19 – Friday…..Day 22 Well it’s been a complete 22 days since operation. I must say, the total time so far has been a pretty good ride. As I have said, the roughest part of the entire surgery was that damn Catheter and that Drain. But now that those two things a far behind, the other p...

Re: My PT Surgery Progress...
Sunday.....Day 17 Today is a marvelous day. No pain or discomfort. Sitting is now easier. I know I'm still in the healing process, but if this is a sign of how it's gonna feel in a couple months. This PT thing might have been well worth it. I noticed something today while showering. I was under the...
