Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S. But I’m in Mexico now, and I’m not originally from the U.S. so no turkey for me. (Also, I’m vegetarian.)

But I do try to foster a feeling of gratefulness.

I’m immensely grateful for my supportive husband. Before I got my implant in 2021, he was weary of the idea. It seemed too risky to him.. What if something went wrong? And he doesn’t bottom anyway, so he was fine with my thickish turgid-but-not-hard cock.

But he knew how it frustrated me not being able to get hard, and how it ruined the joy I could have gotten – and he was getting – from the extramarital affairs we allow each other. Once I had made up my mind – I wanted an implant, and right away, as soon as the procedure could be scheduled – he was fully onboard.

He spoon-fed me my first meal when we got home after the surgery, as I was lying flat on my back in bed. I would have been perfectly capable of feeding myself, but it felt good to be pampered.

So, yes, I’m grateful that I will be getting it back, for however few or many years it may last.


So glad to hear you have such a supporting husband. I don't think I'd be in as good of a mental place as I am today without him in this situation. It's been hard adjusting to having an implant and loss of size due to peyrone's and cancer, but I think I'm finally getting there. Incredibly glad to see that your story is working out well for you especially with the issues with insurance.

I would suggest looking into United if you can get it. I've had their PPO and it has been absolutely seemless to work with in my journey without even a hiccup. Out of Pocket is also an option for those who can afford it - but that absolutely won't be a lot of folks out there.

Looking forward to seeing more of your journey!

All the best!

Thank you! And I’m glad to hear you are getting to terms with your implant. For me, it was easy to adjust to, because having had life-long ED, the implant was so much better than what I had to live with before.

It actually made me happy when I realized that I had messed up the dates in my head when I wrote my previous post: it’s not four weeks till my surgery; it’s only three! Just 21 days. It feels like I’ve started a count-down.

This time around I don’t think you will have the nervousness going into the surgery.
You will be back in the saddle real soon.
