Had Radical Prostatectomy last week: What are next steps?

Wow, that’s an awesome result! By my research and numerous personal conversations with a number of men who had the RALP, you are the only person I’ve heard of with absolutely NO Incontinence issues! Every man I’ve spoken with had “Stress Incontinence” issues at the very least and most men had that coupled with pretty measurable Incontinence issues and the need to change numerous pads per day! I had my surgery performed by one of the most expert and nationally recognized surgeons in the country. I didn’t hear you comment on any “ED” issues. What has your experience been in this area.
Thanks,
Philip Snowdon

To begin, I am 72 and was already having issues with ED. A time or two during the week, I take 100 mg of Sildenafil and work on stimulating myself - and I feel I am making progress. My wife is very patient and I will ask for her help in the foreplay, which may be all that there is. But, I expect SOME fun!
Yes, there was shrinkage. I will get a vacuum pump this week. The Urologist gave my info to someone who sells these, medically, at $400 - not covered by insurance. I saw my surgeon shortly afterwards and mentioned this to him. He said to go to a sex shop and they are considerably cheaper. For the fun of it, I asked him for a recommendation. He laughed, and said "I have no direct knowledge of any." He's young with a good sense of humor, so I felt that would be good for a laugh - It was.
