The day ahead. Just liquids, medication and oh goodie a bowl clean out. Sounds like fun, right  Pizza tasted amazing though. No better way to have a last meal before liquid diet than my favorite food. Hugs

Mariah, thanks so much for blogging this experience. I'm more than a year away, but the posted experiences are so important for those who come later.

May you have the best possible outcome, and I hope all goes very well for you.

This is important for me to share for those of you who are not going to be simple straight penile inversion due know that you likely will get more days on bed rest due to the doctor won't want his suture lines messed up. So yes that means more bedrest for me as a result apparently I will be on blood thinners temporarily. He is planning on me being on bed rest 3 or 4 days. Everything is on as planned though. The appointment went well and I have been to the pharmacy. So now I prepare for the next part of the prep based on the schedule. I have everything I'm going to need post operatively. One interesting side note that my mom used to mess up due to her dementia and call me by my dead name sometimes. She is now confusing me with my sister and referring to me as her name sometimes. Both to my sister and myself. Anyways all is well and they are very happy with everything and I can't wait to get going. Hugs

I'm guessing the "T" means tapered?

Am I the only person to think that looks like a very strange Xylophone?

Yes, yes I am. Sorry, ignore me.
