Sara,

I am doing ok. Had my procedure. I am tired but ok.

I have a penile stricture and I have been surgically dilated once before about 12 years ago. Since then, I have self dilated once a day. It kept things open until about a month ago when it started getting tight again.

My local urologist wanted to dilate since I managed so well for so long. He thought that would be more ideal than a major surgery like urethroplasty. We will see if this lasts for awhile.
