Time to leave Istanbul. This travel day has been difficult, especially trying to keep the implant positioned upward while avoiding any external contact or infection. Luckily, I booked a seat with extra space on the plane, which was more manageable than a standard seat would have been. Still, the combination of the slight pain, the paranoia that something could be wrong, and the usual hassle of airport lines and procedures made the short trip to Barcelona quite uncomfortable. It was not the best experience so far.
On the bright side, I can't believe how fast time is going. 25% done.

Now I'm in Barcelona, staying at my summer home where I plan on very little activity for at least a week. I've been sleeping fine, aside from some occasional bursts of pain and a weird sensation of liquids moving inside me. This was the first time I've felt that, and I panicked for a few seconds, thinking I was bleeding.
But it was nothing. Everything looks good physically, and it seems I survived the flight just fine. I can urinate normally with no pain. I'll put some ice on it later to calm things down.
I'm embracing the fact that this is just a matter of time, and I'm pretty sure the next week will go by fast. I can confirm that every day feels a little better. Seeing this slow but steady progress really helps your headspace and reinforces the recovery process.
Good to hear, you're at home and relaxing in your summer house. All looks well now and you just need to take some sunny time and forget about the flight, which is always a little difficult cause that's the first kind of pressure, especially in the plane and normal airport.
All the best for you
Dan
