No erection after 5 years after radical prostatectomy

I’ve been using Trimix since my surgery a year ago occasionally I can get a decent erection but I can’t feel anything which discourages me from continuing, I want an implant but not without ability to have an orgasm. I’ve said this before but will say it again if I knew my ability to make love with my wife for 40 hrs I would choose quality of life and never would have gone through hell of surgery radiation and hormone shots at 79 I’d choose 5 more years of a normal life can’t live forever

You didn’t know, and you weren’t told. You are not a doctor and you depended on your doctor/urologist to give you the proper guidance.
I do not know all the particulars of your case, but surgery on a 78 yr old is usually NOT the first option. It’s an option but not one often chosen by men close to 80 years of age.
Were you even told of radiation? Did you get a second opinion from someone who wasn’t a surgeon?
It’s water under the bridge at this point but your current condition might have been prevented if you had more information before you made your decision.
