C J, a better time to ask THAT question will be roughly 33 hours after you get out of operating room.
Seriously, though, it hasn’t been that bad. If by not bad you mean roughly the equivalent of watching rabid wolves gnawing on your entrails while you’re conscious.
Hope y’all know I’m teasing. One piece of advice. It’s not possible to ice down too much. I was told by a nurse to intersperse periods of ice with periods of no ice. I think a better way would be keep the ice going, just move it around. I think some of my swelling and bruising is due to not icing enough.
And as ridiculous as this may sound to guys like us a 2 day erection starts to become annoying. I was sent home about 60% inflated. Even at that my pecker has been harder than any erection I’ve had before. Nice angle too. I get the surgeon follow up in the morning, he will deflate me and if my nutsack permits provide some early training on pump.
In fact I was suitably impressed that the Doc called me at home this morning to check on me (New Years Day—he didn't sound hung over either) and we spent half an hour talking about stuff. Apparently I can start cycling before my 2 week follow up if my body permits. He was pretty honest that if you aren’t ready, your body will tell you.
Biker: the music minister from our family’s church came out today to feed my cows for me so you’ve been added to the choir’s prayer list. Lacking your real name, I just had them call you “Gary’s friend and acquaintance undergoing inpatient surgery”. Presumably God will know who they’re referring to.
That brings up an old theological question. Will people recognize one another in heaven?
We finally have an answer. The answer is no. The proof? Check out Baptists in a liquor store. They NEVER recognize one another.
Sorry. I had a special request to continue the lame jokes by our friend who got his implant the day after Christmas.
