13th March 2009 - Day 4

Last night was the worst night for pain from erections. Once again I slept for a few hours and then woke up in the early hours of the morning with the start of an erection. Although I had tucked my penis down and put some gauze and padding into my pants, it had managed to move upwards, which is the natural position that my penis prefers to go.
I ran down to the kitchen and used my ice pack which I purchased yesterday, which brought some relief so that I could go back to bed. I kept the ice pack on whilst I went back to sleep. Woke up 2 hours later for the second round, so decided to get up, (after the use of another ice pack!)

Today was another day relaxing, whilst allowing plenty of air to get to it as I just wore a t shirt. I am so desperate to get the bandage off now, as it looks so vile. The bandage also seems to be quite hard, so it’s almost like having a plaster cast on!

Most notable difference today is that the bruising has gone down very much, which hopefully can be seen from the photos. Just to point out the photographs that I have been taking do tend to make it look at lot worse than it is in real life!

The head is sensitive but again very bearable. I managed to have a shower last night, with a bag attached, which worked ok although I did get a little water onto the bandage.

Tomorrow will be the first milestone, as I get to have my first bath and to remove the bandage!
