Ice the nadds! Every hour.
DO NOT try to over do it. 4-5 weeks. You'll be wondering why you didn't do it sooner! PM if you have any questions or would like to talk/have questions!

It will get better and in hindsight you will be very happy with the results, and I wouldn't regret any of the consequences of recovery.

I also had my implant 9/20 at 7:15 PDT at UC Irvine in So Cal by Dr. Yafi. I am in recovery also, my pain has been very manageable. I received 2 OxyContin pain pills when leaving surgery room, in recovery I have been getting 3 Tylenol every 8 hours and took another Oxy pain pill at 10 PM. I have a drain and they have had to drain the reservoir 3 times, lots of blood; hopefully this will keep the swelling down and help the pain. I had a catheter from before the surgery began, I cannot imagine going through this without a catheter, I have had so much IV antibiotics the catheter bag has filled 3 times, I feel a slight irritation at the opening but that is it, very convenient. I also have inflatable leg raps which have been cycling since during the surgery.
Dr. Yafi told me he would see me at 8:30 AM to remove the drain and catheter and I should be discharged. I have an hour and a half ride home so I was told I will get more pain meds before the drive.
All in all the surgery and recovery has gone as I expected. No surprises or disappointments. Dr. Yafi did 4 implants on 9/20 as he does each Tuesday and we are all in private rooms in recovery. I have not spoken to Dr. Yafi since before the surgery, but he called my wife and told her the implant went perfectly an you are both going to enjoy it.
I am very interested in your recovery Minnesota since we share the same implant day.
