Ozzie, it's been a few more days since your procedure. How are you doing a week out?

Thanks for asking Colleen.

i am coming along quite well.
i didn't ask enough questions regarding what to expect post-op, so i've had a couple of surprises, but nothing earth shattering.
Urine flow has already improved dramatically, and that's way earlier than expected. Such a blessing!!!
80+% of the swelling has disappeared and almost looking like i did pre-op
i am very happy with this route taken and have quickly progressed to speaking of it quite candidly with family and friends.
i really do see it as the male equivalent do a woman's double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery 😉
