Update on day 22
I just measured and am at 5.75 by the glans, 5.9 mid-shaft, and about 6.1-6.2 at the base. Aesthetically when
Erect, I have no lumps or nodules, although I do feel like a ridge that runs parallel below my shaft closest to my base. But I can't tell if that's a vein or a ridge. All my veins have returned and no longer have a smooth surface. Other than that I am relieved that nothing serious has shown up and I think it's because I've been so consistent with massaging and stretching.
As for intimacy, I still haven't tested it out but I know we're getting close to, so I just have to give it time.
On another note - I developed a tiny blister at the center top of my shaft right between the head and gap of the circ scar. I think it's from too much stretcthing and/or irritation from the ball weight's rubber noose. To my credit/fault - I guess I am overdoing it; I do wear it when I go for a walk, am commuting, and alternate with the Zen
Hanger. Per Ian's recommendation, they say to hang at least 3 times a day at an hour a set or more. I followed the aftercare routine of doing more than recommended and I guess I've just been focused on preventing retraction. Luckily I don't have any
PMMA and/or collagen formation bundled on my shaft. So I'm going to let up the consistency a bit right now and moving forward so that I could heal. And the good thing is that I installed a pulley at my desk when wfh so I can just relax and let it stretch with a low weight tension.
I was told that given my age and not taking supplements, I should be done with the process by the end of week 4. I know they say it could take up to 6 weeks, so I'll just tone the care down a bit the last two weeks. But other than that, I would say I'm regaining some sanity back in my life and am slowly coming down from the intensity of care. I think this is a one-and-done thing for me. I couldn't be more happy with the
Flaccid gains and thickness gains. It is true that you could feel some small lumps/bumps/nodules when
Flaccid but that's only if you're pressing down hard and bending your shaft. When the shaft fills up / engorged with an
Erection, I can't feel anything and it looks mostly uniform and veiny, except thicker.
