I am such a very lucky guy.  Many of you know that I have had personal contact with some of the guys here on HW.  Yesterday I was fortunate enough to have lunch with PCa Brother Knotreel.   We have talked on the phone several times and yesterday was the day that we decided would work for us to meet.  He lives about 45 min from me and we had lunch together and after lunch went to his house for expresso and some wonderful potato bread that his wife baked for us. 

Ron, I want you know know it was great joy to get to put your face with the name.  Next meeting will be in BR.

Thanks for you hospitality.

Yeah, me too. I live mostly as some sort of hermit and did me some good too. I felt like a man on death row getting a visit as I am in the final two weeks of my big implant(s) date countdown. I can't help but have this movie reel play in my mind about my new scrotum with, lets see, two pumps and 5, I figure, tubes in there. So I was able to move breifly away from the movie reel: Now Playing in my home entertainment threater, A Tube Too Many. We had another laugh about my AUS doctor joke, he said they will tatoo me with lables for each side "Come" and "Go". Hell, the guy might actually do that, I'll have to wait and see.
Jeff and Greg made it up my driveway without 4WD! And found my location which is off the GPS map.
Thank you guys for the visit.

If some of you guys ever get to Michigan I would welcome a visit......lots of my home made wine in the cellar. I am about half way between Lansing and Detroit.

Ron, Jeff, Tallguy

"Come" and "Go"! Perfect. The guy's got a sense of humor!
Personally I'd prefer to have them color coded. It's too difficult to read the fine print upside down in the dark. :)

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in April. By then, my AdVance sling will be in its supporting role.
Only 11 more days to go. (But who's counting.)

Happy New Year. May it be a dry one!

Hey knotreel, glad to read your story. Sounds like you've been through the ringer . You will not regret getting an IPP. I,m going on my second one in two years now! The first one was too small because I was full of scar tissue from 4-5 years of injections. The uro replaced the first one with a larger one last Feb. The new one added 2 inches in length and 1inch in girth. I and my wife are very, very happy with my latest sorgery. If you ever get up here to frozen viking land look me up. We go catch some of them walleyes together. Recovery from my last surgery wasn't to bad. Inguinal hernia surgery was worse. Seeing as how with an implant everything is pumped-up or hydraulic, it is possible to stay hard all night. Because its under hydraulic lock. Well I gotta git! Good luck with the surgery, I know you will like the outcome. Latter Walleye

Walleye, thanks for the encouragement. I hope I am happy with the IPP but since it will most probably work sucessfully the big question mark is the artificial sphincter. I hate to even dream that both devices will be highly sucessful but who knows?
