Last check uop about 3 weeks ago: PSA still at zero. The doc is happy, as are we. The longer we go, the longer we should go.
This next part may be too much for some, but I'm a science guy and if what I post helps someone else, or simply answers some questions, I'm good with it.
Update on the erectile dysfunction::
For the last 3 months I've been trying a vacuum pump and viagra. Every other morning I was taking 3, take 5 on a day we are going to go for it.
The vacuum pump didn't work well. I get the whole idea, but you are forcing blood in there and trying to hold it in. All the viagra did was make my face flushed. You get into the action, and the blood gets forced out.
SO at the last checkup we discussed something new. A guy at church came up to me one Sunday after church and asked about the ED. He told me he had the same thing, and the same problems. He never got it back, so he started giving himself and injection of phentolamine. He said it wasn't a big deal, the needle was super small.
So that was the conversation I had with the doc. He said usually guys tend to wait longer- really only because they aren't ready for that. I really like nailing my wife, and I guess I'm there. Natural erection could still be a year away. It takes time for those nerves to regrow. So we placed a "sample" order.
Yesterday I went to the doc and we talked about the process. Jaci worked till noon today, so I figured I'd try it this morning and see what happened. You are supposed to start at .40cc and work your way up. Doc recommended I start at .20 and work up by .10 each time till you get a good erection. It should last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. I didn't want to go through this, get fired up, and not have it work being my first time. If you do too much it can stay up for hours, and permanently ruin your future erections. If it goes on for 8 hours, I need to go to the ER.
It sounds like not a big deal, but when you are holding your helmet off to one side to get the angle, and in your other hand you have a freaking NEEDLE, stabbing it in your cock doesn't seem like such a good idea- even though it's a 1cc syringe with a teeny needle. I probably sat there for 3-5 minutes getting up the courage to go for it.
I did it. It is a REALLY small needle, and I hardly felt a thing. You inject, then hold your finger over the site for a minute or so and gently massage the site. Within a few minutes, blood flow was clearly occurring.
I had a RAGER!
Now it's game on!
