Week 1 Update:
Thank you for all the encouragement!
The main thing I'm dealing with is that the bottom of my scrotum is now bruised and quite sore from cycling. I had to skip the hot bath cycling yesterday because of the soreness, and tried again this morning after a couple of Tylenol. It's getting difficult to maneuver the pump around to a spot where the skin isn't too sore to pump, but I managed to get it pumped up pretty well. I don't think I'm anywhere near what I could maximum pump yet, but I had to stop when the stretching got to the point where it was most painful, where I then held it for 10 minutes or so. The deflation of this classic Titan pump seems to be really particular - I squeeze the bars hard and nothing happens, then shift position just a little bit and it deflates. Is this typical? I'll keep up the cycling as much as I can since I know this is still really early and I have a lot of stretching yet to go.
The only other thing causing problems is the antibiotics are wreaking havoc with my digestive system. One more week of that.
I've read here that a lot of guys have second thoughts afterwards and question "why did I do this!?" I'm not at that point, but I do question how I'm ever going to get used to this thing. After reading so many accounts of how it all becomes easier as time goes on, I'll use that as encouragement, but right now this thing seems alien to me. I know it's only been a week, and I know it will all get better. I just need patience.
