ROUND 2, DAY 2 UPDATE:
I did not measure today, but I can tell the swelling is going down. Yesterday I was oozing from the entry points, but more so from my left side than my right side. I\'m using Neosporin to heal up the entry points faster, and I know it\'s already worked, since this morning, my right side entry wounds have already stopped oozing.
CPW, getting to 6.5
Girth would be awesome, but I really think that the swelling I had yesterday is already settling down. I think the reason I swelled up so big is because of the fibrotic tissue that Dr. C had to break through, which required extra force on his part. Thus, there was more trauma to my unit. This seems apparent since my unit has a heck of a lot more bruising this time around too, which again, is probably a direct result of the added effort/force needed to move the cannula through the fibrotic tissue. Thus, since I feel the swelling is a bit exaggerated and would NOT have necessarily swelled up to this level otherwise, I believe that I\'ll probably gain another .5 in the
Flaccid Girth and another .5 in the
Erect Girth which should place me somewhere in the ballpark of 6.0
Flaccid Girth and 6.25 to 6.5
Erect Girth, it just depends on how the stars and moon align with my post procedure protocol. BUT DUDE, I\'m already thinking about a ROUND 3. This is contagious. But, now back to the topic about my exaggerated swelling.
Unlike you, who did the right thing by pumping twice a day to stretch out the fibrotic tissue, I didn\'t. I wish I would have pumped more often, but I didn\'t. Thus, you probably didn\'t have the same resistance from the layer of fibrotic tissue/scar tissue since you pumped regularly and softened it up, thus allowing the cannula to move more freely during your Round 2.
I think this issue needs to be addressed so that all members looking to have their Round 2s don\'t have the same problem I had.
SO, TO ALL MEMBERS LOOKING TO DO THEIR 2ND ROUND: Please heed this thread and pump for about 5 to 10 minutes twice a day to soften up the fibrotic/scar tissue so that you\'re not subjected to the hardcore swelling and bruising I had. Again, I believe my hardcore swelling and bruising is a direct result of the cannula having a harder time going through the \"unsoftened\" or harder fibrotic tissue throughout the length of my shaft that formed after Round 1.
I don\'t want to give any misleading information here, so if any other members with more experience can pipe in on this subject and discuss the level of their swelling or bruising following their Round 2s, that would be great. If this phenomena is pretty regular by members who didn\'t pump leading into Round 2, then it must be TRUE that pumping will aid to relieve this occurrence.
I have a lot of stuff to do today, so I won\'t be taking pictures. I feel bad not being able to document my progress as well as I did after Round 1, but duty calls and I have to get back to work.
I\'ll try to get better documentation when time allows.
Cheers.
