Small Set Back for Bailey’s 6/18 Implant.

[Bailey]

Update as of 6/24/19@ 5pm. Saw my surgeon this afternoon and everything went well. He deflated me, removed my catheter, & the jp drain. I feel so much better now. Hope I can continue to urinate so I don’t have to have the catheter again. So far I have urinated a small amount. Drinking about 54 ounces a day of water. The home care nurse comes tomorrow and I hope she discharges me. Go back in 3 weeks to be trained out to inflate & deflate. I hope my recovery gets much better after today. Thanks guys for all your support. It certainly means a lot when issues arise & I know you Bionic Brothers are on FT to provide us encouragement. Bailey

I was fully inflated 3 or 4 weeks after surgery. That was uncomfortable and awkward walking around with big bulge. This was necessary to prevent scar tissue forming and permanently constricting the two chambers around the implanted tubes. Now at three years out it all proves worthwhile.
