How is the pain though? I am still waiting for my first erection, I finally got the tablets, 100mg×8, tried using once, nothing happened, don't know if it would work 8-9wks post surgery, still no sex. I am however hopefully.

Lyn, my mother is much relieved on 2 counts. One, that you don't seem to be permanently injured and two, that you're not part of Dave's train fetish.

Dave is disappointed, naturally.

And my mummy.....well, now she wants to know what an AMS 700 is. I told her it's a new train we have in England that isn't operational in Northern Ireland. She said, 'Ah.'

Now that's all settled, let's get back to my penis, please.

Launch date has been rescheduled for 15.30 on Thursday of next week. The nurse specialist at UCLH phoned me and said she didn't want to delay the launch any longer. I've waited 5 years 7 months 2 weeks and 6 days since my surgery.

All making me laugh guys !!! πŸ˜†

I hope this β€œ launch β€œ isn’t going to affect the global weather system mate. I don’t want any phallus-induced clouding ok.

Good luck 🀞

I wonder if Andy can organise a zoom meeting for the launch so we can support you. 

Thanks Chris

We missed an opportunity.   We should have organised a Mill on the Soar event and held the launch there

Lyn, my mummy is still worried.  She wants to know about the stilettos.....do you still have them?  And what colour were they?

If you are referring to my post penile implant pain, it was horrendous.  Even 6 weeks later, there is a bit of discomfort.

If you are referring to post prostatectomy pain, hopefully yours will settle soon.

As for erections, they will take a while, 8 weeks is very hopeful.

Any indication if that was normal, or unusual?

Andy, I was told by 2 other men who had the surgery that it was painful, more painful than their robotic prostatectomy.  But they said it was manageable and they are happy with their implants.

I had extensive bruising and was in hospital for almost a week.  I think it is accurate to say my experience is not the norm.

Launch day.

Operation was a success and we had lift off.

The device is fiddly to use.  It's gonna take a bit of practice.

Penis length and girth reduced, but I'll work with that which I am left.

As my wife was asking, with penile implants, does it mean you can go all night?

User

Great, Ulsterman.

So a successful kick off πŸ’ͺπŸ‘. 

Glad to know.

Best wishes and nights!

Essentially I could have an erection 24 hours per day lol

I know it will get easier, but the device takes some getting used to.  It's not easy to use.  Easier to inflate than deflate.

Flaccid penis doesn't feel quite natural.  You can feel the implant.  Erect penis feels natural.

Pump in the scrotum is quite heavy.  

I imagine in a few weeks it'll all be alright and I'll be confident in using it.  It makes me think of my first driving lessons and my driving today.  I will make progress.

It is nice though knowing that I can now have an erection when I want one, for as long as I want.

The ups and downs of the implant.

It is such a relief and a pleasure to be back in control of my erections after almost 6 years.  Compared even to Invicorp, the implant is great.

I don't like the feel of the implant in my scrotum.  It's far too heavy.  I'll just have to learn to live with that.

My biggest problem is with deflation.  I'm finding it quite awkward.  But getting there.

Getting the implant fitted was a big decision.  I was worried about whether I'd made the right decision.  One week after launch date, I'm happily in orbit.  

We're getting there.
