Three months post-op (fourteen weeks)

And things still suck. There are some positives however. The granulation tissue around my urethra is starting to lessen. I think it might be gone in two or three more weeks. Also, the ambient pain level has decreased. I'm down to taking about 1600 mg of ibuprofen a day (from 2400 mg/day). I only need a sleeping pill maybe once a week now, sometimes

I am sorry things are so hard right now.

you can delete this after you read it if it makes you feel uncomfortable
but when the granulation stops, and the pain level decreases a lot more
i want you to try vibrators. this might activate the pleasure centers in the skin

I know one woman who had not dilated in 10 years after her marriage broke up
i talked her into doing it again but not with stents but with a series of increasing in size vibrators
it worked for her, it may work for you, but not right now, you're still healing big time, i'm thinking 6 or 9 months down the road

hugggggggggggg

Heh, no worries about deletion. I am certainly not a squirmy person.
