22 days post-op update: peeing is amazing (no pain, no straining, no blood, great flow), sex is fine, and my mouth feels almost back to normal. I still have soreness along the incision, but it is no longer draining enough to require me to put a gauze dressing on it — regular cotton boxer briefs can handle it. My energy is back to normal. At this point, I’m very glad I made the decision to undergo this surgery.
