Johnnyborg’s Malleable Journey

[JohnnyBorg]

Week 9 - (day early update):

Pain: so, last few days I’ve been a LOT more active socially and been going into the office a bunch more. Unfortunately, I’m finding myself having much more pain and soreness as a result. It seems to stem from needing to wear the compression boxer briefs to conceal the Rigi10. This has been okay for short stretches, but long days cause me quite a bit of discomfort still. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a better option, but the only way I’m able to conceal the Rigi10 effectively right now is with the compression shorts. I basically am in a position where I’m forced to choose between comfort and concealment. I don’t think I’d have the same issue with the Genesis - this is definitely a big negative with the Rigi10 right now.

It’s odd to me to still be dealing with this pain about 9 weeks out. Trying to stay patient but if this continues on without improvement for another couple months, I’m going to seriously consider revision to a Genesis or honestly to an IPP, purely from the standpoint of being able to go about my life without so much discomfort.

Travel to Atlanta: I’m not stoked to be going back to Atlanta as I mentioned in my previous post. Hoping to have erosion ruled out as a possibility for my pain, I think it’s unlikely but another issue I’m noticing is I feel like my glans is slightly crooked. I don’t remember if it’s always been this way or not. For anyone considering an implant, I highly recommend you take pre surgery photos! I regret not doing that.

Anyways, not feeling great this week overall. Had a good couple weeks last two weeks but things have gone downhill a bit since Wednesday.
