ITS A GO!!! I go into surgery at 2:00pm tommorow Thailand time! It hasn't sunk in quite yet, it will be soon though. I have to eat a liitle something first, it's been awhile. Then I will have plenty of sitting time 😉😉😳 to ponder much! I will try and post something as soon as possible. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers!

Yay!!!! I will be moving while you are getting your surgery :) I'm so excited for you!!! Wish my surgery is tomorrow already!

People handle pain differently so don't trust the the staff to give you the correct medication. If what they are giving you isn't working, explain it to them and ask for something stronger. I didn't want anything after surgery and didn't take anything but others who had the same procedure needed morphine (what they used at the time).

Congratulations Shellsters!!!
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Fantastic Shellsters. I definitely concur about the pain relief point. If you're in a lot of pain insist on having something stronger than just paracetamol and anti-inflamatory. They can prescribe anything if you ask.

Sending best healing vibes to you.

A little update.

All seems to be going well, I've got a huge diaper on along with a catheter. The pain is minimal, but I'm also on some pain meds. The catheter is the one thing bothering me the most. I have a constant feeling of having to go to the bathroom but never the feeling of having gone!

The feeling I had when I first woke up was one of sheer thankfulness. I just couldn't believe it had really happened. I still feel amazed with what just took place? But the catheter pain and my butt pain keeps my mind occupied. I don't have much feeling down there, at times it just feels the same as before, and other times it's a feeling of something different but can't really tell what??!?

I'm not sure when I get this big diaper off, or if they change it. I do know the catheter will come out before I leave hospital. At least I have that to look forward too!

Going to try and get some more rest. I've never slept for more than 2 hours at s time 😕

Very quickly as dashing to the hospital but this is awesome news Shellsters. Will write more later but I'm so thankful for you. x

Ok right after my last post the dr stoped in to check on me. He took of my diaper to see how things where. I was freaking out a bit wondering how things would look. Well, there wasn't much to see, except a lot of packing going in somewhere lol. The one thing I did notice was that there wasn't skin graft done. It would of been just up above if done. I asked why, and he said my scrotal skin was flexible enough so no reason too. I am very happy about this since it saved me some much needed money. But I'm also concerned about width and depth. As far as I was told it should not be a problem as long as I dilate properly.

I also am allowed to get up. This is awesome since my butt is killing me!

Writing this from the train but just to say that all sounds very positive news Shellsters.

Which PAI surgeon did you have?

Hello!

Well I'm able to walk around fairly well. I don't have much pain walking, but it is awkward to do. Id rather walk or stand them lay down. But I'm sure that wouldn't be good to do too much. Sitting is probably the worse, everything just gets pushed more inside.

I still feel nothing down there, at times there is a twinge which some how feels like its coming from my penis. Gawd I hope it still not there lol I've tried to like move things down there (like one would do with there penis) nothing seems to move, or at least there's not the same feeling of a penis moving. Which is probably a good thing lol

I'm probably getting more tired of the stay in hospital than I am with the pain and discomfort. I've never been one to watch much tv, just CNN and then I usually just listen. I don't play any games nor do I read much. I need to stay active, this is the hardest part about being here!

Just like any other hospital, there are some nice nurses and then there are your not so nice. All but one of mine have been fairly decent. The only downside is that none of the speak good English, ok but not good. I was finally able to have some coffee!!!! 😊, though it's not the greatest..,it did the job. I also got me some snacks out of my suitcase! Yes I almost feel like I'm at home now lol

I would love to give more detailed updates, but the truth is nothing much has happened. I just lay here in my big diaper! I get fed 3 times a day, a sponge bath, and the needed meds given.

Thought I would add a bit more.

I'm hoping dr will stop by, it feels a little wet down there, not sure if I'm bleeding more of if just feels that way. I also want to ask him if I could have nurse temporary remove diaper if I need to go poo! I feel like I will have to soon, I DO NOT want to go in my big diaper. Ya I know it's just a diaper, but I feel better calling it my big diaper lol

The nurse should be able to answer your questions about the poo but it may  only  be a bad case of gas. The process of cleaning you out before surgery can make you very gassy and most people find it very difficult to get that first moving experience after surgery. It took a really nasty laxative for me to resume normal operation.
