Will I need assistance during recovery?

[Lawrence13]

Hey Lawrence - I live by myself and before returning home spent almost two weeks in a hotel in Atlanta (during the snow storm!) DIRECTLY after surgery. It suuuuuuuuuucked but I figured it out and made it work. I second all of Duke’s recommendations + what others are saying here. You should be okay!

Thanks bud. Appreciate hearing from someone who did it solo.

Surgery can be tough on the body in a lot of ways, including the effect on digestion when taking an opioid pain killer. It slows down digestion and can lead to miserable constipation. For that reason, it would be a good idea to have an oral laxative in the medicine cabinet just in case it’s needed.

I think you’ll find minimal need for opioid painkillers, you’re just going to feel pretty sore for a couple of weeks, and then the soreness will decrease a bit every day over the next few weeks until horniness overcomes soreness! ( I was at 4 weeks post op)

The most important thing: buy 4 bags of frozen peas so that as ones thaws, you’ve got an immediate replacement. I had them on my crotch 24/7 and that’s how I recovered quickly and needed no opioid meds past the first couple of days.

You’re going to love how things turn out!

Appreciate it so much. I too look forward to the part where the hormones takes over.
