Johnnyborg’s Malleable Journey

How is the hardness brother
Do u think its harder than a natural erection

It’s plenty hard. I won’t really be able to tell until I get to use it, since I’m missing engorgement, etc. But the rods are HARD.

Day 12 post op - morning:

Settled back into my own apartment yesterday. It’s really weird being back home. It feels like I went into an alternate universe weeks ago, and now I’m back home but… I’m in a completely different timeline it’s a very very strange feeling.

To break it down - I left my apartment approximately 2 weeks ago living one life, I came back yesterday at the start of a new one cheesy I know, but it’s how it felt coming back home.

Sleep: sleep is getting better. I still get woken up in the night from pain, but I think it’s gradually happening less frequently, and when it does happen I’m able to handle the pain and then fall back asleep quicker than a handful of days ago. Also - last night I slept without any pain medication.

Pain: feels more like I’m transitioning into the “soreness” part of the pain journey. I’m still getting some “zapping” pains throughout the day. As I understand it, this is a good thing. Indicates nerves are firing back up in the region.

Guarding: this is improving too. I’m still clenching in pelvic floor occasionally against certain pain sensations. But it’s not as intense or “locked” as it was even 3-4 days ago. I suspect this will keep gradually improving in parallel to pain.

Dribbling: this one is freaking me out a little bit still. After peeing, there’s usually a few drops still trapped in the urethra. Apparently, the pelvic floor usually sucks these out of the urethra (when it’s healthy) leaving only a drop or two (hence why guys will give a quick “shake” at the urinal). For me right now, however, it’s a lot more than 1 or 2 drops left - I have to basically “milk” the rest out from my urethra and I usually have to do this twice, because if I don’t, it comes out as multiple drops later on. I suspect this is very much related to swelling (I still have swelling) and my pelvic floor guarding, and am hoping to see improvements over the next few weeks. If not - and if it looks like this is just a new, persistent issue - there are other things I can do to address it.

I’m coming up on the two week mark this Tuesday. I must say, I’ve REALLY improved between Week 1 and Week 2 already. I’m actually already getting used to the “feeling” of the rods in my dick too, like my brain is starting to identify them less as “threat”. A very good sign. We all gotta learn to get along and relearn how to work as a team

Honestly, all of this sounds positive. Sleep is improving, soreness beats pain, guarding is normal and manageable, and dribbling is going to improve with time as your penis heals and the tissues stop being swollen. You might be dribbling because of internal swelling that's invisible putting pressure on the urethra and stopping the flow of urine. You're doing great, Johnny!

Thanks Duke - and yes my thoughts exactly on the dribbling. I think it’s still in response to some swelling and guarding, and just needs to “stabilize”. Was doing some research on it and some sources indicate it’s not uncommon in some patients to see this for 3-4 weeks after a surgery like this.

An update on SIZE (because everyone is always so interested in size size size ):

I just did a quick measure of my implanted dick, because I’m just chilling at home and have nothing better to do

Length (not bone pressed): 4.5 inches
(my pre op bone-stretched = 5 inches).
Girth: 4.75 inches
(my pre op ERECT girth = 5 inches).

Net result: loss of 0.5 inches length, loss of 0.25 inches girth.

I gotta say, as a man who started small, I’m pretty happy with where my non-engorged, non-aroused measurements have landed. And I’ve heard that guys with malleables do gain a touch more in girth (and some guys have said length too) when aroused and “erect”, so I really hope I’m the same. But even if I’m not - if this is pretty much “it” for me - I’m a happy man.

It’s also worth mentioning that I’m overweight - I’m 5 ft 11 inches tall and I weigh about 210 right now. But I’ve been REGULARLY losing weight, exercising, and eating healthy for the past 2 months (I started at ~230 lbs!) and have a LONG TERM goal weight of about 175 lbs. I’ve heard that dudes can sometimes see more length from that kind of substantial weight loss. Not getting my hopes up - but I do have a little bit of pubic fat pad - when I push into it, I definitely clock in closer to 5 inches, even right now. So who knows, with weight loss I might even see some marginal length gains.

Best! Johnny

Thanks for the reminder kbb - I’ve got a 20 with 0.5 RTE.
