WEEK 3 - Update:Wow. I can’t believe I’m already at Week 3. It’s actually wild to think it’s been about 21 days since my surgery and how far I’ve come.
Pain / soreness: very minimal now. I still get occasional nerve zaps on penis and around the incision site, but it’s still healing and that’s completely normal.
Urethral discomfort: SIGNIFICANTLY improved. I don’t notice the urethral discomfort really much at all lately. Burning after peeing has continued to get better and better, and now is pretty rare.
Swelling: continues to improve, the majority of the swelling at this point has resolved and I’m just left with some mild residual swelling and bruised appearance.
Size: about 4.5 inches length (NON BONE PRESSED), 4.75 inches girth is where I’m hovering. This falls within my “success” criteria for my malleable implant and I’m happy. Bone pressed, my length is closer to just under 5 inches.
Pelvic floor guarding: gone.
Awareness of implant: it’s already starting to feel like “my dick”. It IS my dick. But obviously it still feels “new”…. but no longer feels like a strange foreign set of rods, if that makes sense. This has been SUCH a surprise to me this past week at how quick my brain has started to “accept” my Rigi10 as part of my body.
Comfort in clothing: this is still a bridge that needs to be crossed, and goes hand-in-hand with being able to bend and conceal the implant. My dick is still pretty much regularly sitting around 3 o clock, and I’ve been pretty much exclusively wearing exercise shorts and no underwear these past few weeks because it’s what’s most comfortable. I need to be able to start working the implant to tuck it down, and then pair it with comfortable but supportive boxer briefs to get it where it needs to go - otherwise, I’ll be walking everywhere with a boner poking the front of my pants - which not only looks problematic, but feels awful too.
Horniness 
: this has increased dramatically in the last couple days as I’ve continued healing. I was ultra focused for the first two and a half weeks on just recovery woes - but since turning a significant corner, I’m now crawling out of my skin and so excited to use this thing. Bending is the next milestone for me, and I do suspect I’ll be waiting an extra week past when I’m officially “cleared” before actually using the implant for sex, just because I prefer to play things safe. But man… going another 2-3 weeks is going to be a true exercise in self control
Feeling really good about the progress I’ll make between now and Week 4. This weekend, I’m planning on starting to work the implant a bit more and might attempt a bend. We will see.
