This Battlestar is Armed and Fully Operational!

It's been seven weeks of waiting since the Operation, but today we launched!!!
A bit of context: Dr Gross (Dartmouth-NH) has a slightly different approach than what many on this site have experienced. After the Implant Op, he sent me home partially (60%) inflated for two weeks, and then deflated me (and yes, squeezing my nutsack at that point hurt like a biotch.) From then on, for the next 5 weeks, I was instructed NOT to cycle - just let things heal.
Today was 7 weeks out from the Op, and I had my appointment with him for my first inflate/deflate 'class.'
It was AMAZINGLY easy. Having spent the last few weeks 'exploring' y new nutsack in the hottub, I had a pretty good idea where the parts of the device were. I pumped it up without a hitch: 10 pumps and I was a railroad spike, no slips, no problems. I know many guys say the pump is hard at first, but I didn't find it to be so; squeezed between my thumb and the side of my index finger, it was a breeze.
Deflation was even more surprising. I had an image in my mind of having to squeeze really hard, and of feeling some pain on my scrotal skin as a result. Nothing could have been further from the truth: A little pressure, and whoosh, deflation. Very easy, and no pain.
I *really* appreciate how Dr. Gross allowed me time to heal before we started this, because this was easy - REAL easy. In addition, he has given me the green light to go screw my brains out. Watch out world, here I come (again!)
