4 days...not much has happened. I am back to showering with hot water...the handle all the way to the left.
Funny how my body can tolerate all the heat while healing, but when healed, I pretty much want the water lot cooler, lol.
My balls have been 'meh', not much on the exploring part. Pump is still sticking out. I want to heal enough to explore more before next Monday.
Sleeping has been a challenge, as the sensitivity and my balls seem to be more prominent when I am lying down or asleep.

I could not sense the entire pump until 4 weeks post op. Now almost 11 weeks post op, amazing how the body heals.

Hehehe...big balls???

When I feel around my balls, the stitching area seems to be tender. It looks great, I am healing fine, but the tenderness is just a bit much. I seem to have swollen up just a bit, as I went to explore and could not fine the release valves on the pump. Showering with the hottest water does not seem to help 'relax' my balls. I would expect that my balls would really hang low and I could feel around, but this is not the case.
Sensitivity has seemed to crop back up and I am wearing that baby sock.

Agfa, I'm still tender with soreness in my incision area and where the tubing comes down from the cylinders, attached to the underside of my penis... I'll probably be uncomfortable there for months, maybe even years, if I ever get over it. Since the tubes are starting to grow into the tissues under my penis, any pump manipulating causes pulling of the new tissues which caused soreness...

Is sleeping a challenge for you? I seem to go back and forth, in terms of healing, with this Titan. I was coming along fine, esp. after the 1st week, then I seem to slide back...complete with sensitivity of dick in shorts (tks for the sock idea, lol).
I ate something this AM and been in bed all day. Just now, after a hot shower, feel good, but still cannot find the release valves on the pump.
Something better happen soon so I can pump when I see the Dr this coming Monday.

Much of your issue apparently is your oversensitive glans. You have had that problem for months so I'd guess it's just going to take time to get past that. Are you still icing? It might not be a bad idea, even now. You don't have a fever, do you? That's something I checked on every day, at least three times a day for close to two weeks, because I was paranoid of exactly what you went through with your first. Ultimately it turned out okay for me but I didn't stop taking my temp several times a day until at least two weeks later.

Yes, just took my temp again. All is well.
Just emailed my Dr. Told him about my back slide in terms of healing. No worries.
Canceled appt. for this Monday. Dr is quarantined! Don't know why they did not call me to cancel earlier. Dr. said they are working on that, as per guidance from CDC, go figure.

My stomach issues seem to be sticking around, so I figured I would email Dr. and get his 2 cents. Don't know if I should stick around here or go home, but worried about bud, since he is in the age bracket, 73.

Feeling much better today. Don't know how this issue came about, but don't remember having stomach cramps for 2 days straight! Still have it, but not as bad today. Don't know if it is related to the pump since pain was right in my lower abdominal area
Sitting here in shorts, but must have sat down with shorts pulling my dick down. Had to stand up in about 3 min. because of the pain.

Well, since I won't be seeing him in another month, at the least, I am open to suggestions on what to do now.
How do you pump this thing, Armygolfer?
I know better then to go all out on pumping, but just the movement to get things started while sitting here bored. Playing with yourself can only go so far:).

Definitely do not pump up until you KNOW you can deflate. Since I was left 70-75% inflated I deflated a little before inflating back up. I knew it was deflating because the fluid flow can be felt as a vibration (at least, in AMS devices).

Right. I put one light pump in mine then deflated and verified the "BUZZ" when I squeezed it. Then two and deflated again. Then I felt more sure of myself and went about 4-5 pumps (almost max for the early time @ 7 days). Deflated and was happy.
