Recovery for both stages was within the expected timelines. Maybe a little set back on the first stage because of the hematoma. In the beginning I was feeling like I had 50 pounds of dick hanging. I had a lot of swelling and walking was not comfortable at all. I live alone. I was lucky to have a friend take me to her place for the first week. Made it a whole lot easier. The worst part for me was the catheter. It was between my legs under my new sack and was just rubbing me raw and leaking.
I had prepared for both stages. I made meals for about a week and froze it. Made sure it was healthy stuff. Lots of vegetables and proteins. So when grub time came all I had to do was nuke it. I also bought disposable party type plates and minimized dishes.
Stage 2 was uneventful. 3 weeks with a pee bag and 37 staples to take out. And a whole lot of adjusting to hit the bowl lol.
I barely took anything stronger than Tylenol for pain in both stages
That's about it
