Congratulations!!! Hope everything went well and you recover fast.

That's great news. You seems quite well and I wish you the best and rapid recovery. Your determination is always an inspiration.

Take care.

It looks like everything came off without a hitch. Congrats! :balsmilie

Congratulations on finally getting there. It's taken far tong with too many roadblocks along the way. I hope that your struggles help to make it easier for those who follow. You've been a great role model as you've struggled with the bureaucracy.

Thank you to all for the support and good wishes!

Still quite uncomfortable, but possibly a bit less. I'm only using Tylenol (which doesn't seem to help much - definitely in the "Pills you mother gives you" class) However it is tolerable, and I'd just as soon not go to the drugstore to pick up the oxycodone script that they put in for me.

Overall though it is not as bad as I was afraid that it might be, not sure if that is normal or if I'm getting some advantage from the reduction of pain sensitivity below my injury level. I did see the advice in the post-op instructions that I should spend time walking (don't I wish!!) and that I could resume "normal activities" but I'm inclined to keep taking it very easy for at least the next few days...

I changed the dressing a few hours ago, and I hope it is just swelling, but they seem to have left more of the scrotum than I would have liked... However I'm not going to make any judgement until I've done a lot more healing....

Pain is less today, still uncomfortable, but not as bad... Still a lot of swelling and bruising / discoloration. Doing w/o the Tylenol today, as I hate using pain killers in general, but it's marginal.
