15th March 2009 - Day 6

The salt baths seem to be doing the trick, and really are encouraging the healing process. I feel that each day is now bringing a difference for the better, and I am really pleased with my progress so far and are amazed that I am only on day 6.

The incision line seems to have blackened somewhat since yesterday which Dr Z did advise me of, so good signs that everything is going to plan.
A couple of the stitches are now feeling a bit funny, almost as if they are going harder. So hopefully over the next few days I will see the first of them come out as I think they are towards the end of doing their job.

My frenulum area is feeling a little sore, and is slightly bloody looking, but nothing out of the expected as I am aware that this takes longer to heal. The good news though is that after my bath today, no blood dripped from this area, which it had done on both my baths yesterday!

The inner foreskin is still a little puffy and swollen, and does seem to swell a little bit more when I am in the bath, but then does calm down a little once I am out. There is still a little swelling on the shaft as well.

Last night was the easiest night with regards to erections. I once again padded my tight pants and kept it tucked downwards. I slept for several hours, to wake with the start of an erection, so went and got an ice pack, which once applied allowed me to go straight back to sleep.

This was ok for another couple of hours when the erection started again, but It was time to get up then so not too bad! I did notice that there was a bit of watery blood on the dressing that was in my pants overnight, but any bleeding had stopped, so all good.

So the main improvements for today, no pain, very slight soreness from the frenulum area. Bruising appears very faint now.
The glans are still scaly and I expect them to start peeling soon.

So I’m back at work for just 1 day tomorrow, so will be interesting to see how it reacts to being in trousers all day. I have planned a day in the office, so nothing too strenuous!
