Congrats!! By the way, all this talk of TRIMIX is making hubby and me feel like we will have missed out if we don't get to try it! :) He is almost 1 month from surgery and we are constantly making fun jokes about TRIMIX (have to laugh to keep from crying sometimes). I don't know if he will ever get it, but I/we surely won't be disappointed if he does!

Thanks to all of you,it really makes me feel like family
to walkbyfaith:It still is early for you but just having the thought is a start to healing,I would let everything heal another month,!then start with the VED,ease into sex,it is important to have your mind and body in balance.The VED helps the confidence and makes you want to do the injection so you work towards normality!Now I look at the injection as part of the build for the fireworks,which I might add are vitalizing.I don't even always wear a pad now,unless I KNOW i'm lifting.The last 8 months were some of the hardest of my life,I had issues following the ralp 1 month after,see profile,but now all of this were bumps in the road to a more fullfilling and gratefull life!If you just had surgery please take it easy,it will get better!
Tai Chi has really helped me in life balance -google-Dr Paul Lam you will be inspired.
Life is good!

Gams,

I just read your signature and how IRONIC.  Hubby JUST went to the doctor's today because we think he has a hernia.  His GP referred him to a specialist this afternoon for further evaluation, but she thinks it is indeed a hernia.  Let's just say I am none too happy about this, BUT trying not to be too angry.  He totally pushed himself too hard, returning to work just 3 weeks after surgery, although modified.  He swore to me he would honor his body, but his strong will got the best of him.  I think he realizes that he made a mistake and feels really, really bad.  This is so frustrating.

Who did you see for your hernia?  Urologist, GP, or RALP surgeon?  Was the hernia related to surgery?  I am going to google it, by the way. 

Thanks for the awesome advice regarding our future sexual liasons.  It is so true how much the mind body connection plays into all of this.  Sounds like hernia mess may be a blip.  Uuuugh!  I am happy that you were so positive about your blip, and how it all worked out in the end.  I do have FAITH that it will be the same for us. 

PS I am assuming the hernia is caused by "overdoing" it.  Am I correct?

  I can only tell you my adventure,I'm not sure if your hubby has the same ,but I would start with the uro,I was given a MRI,BONE ,SCAN,three Ultrasounds before it was determined and comfirmed it was a inguinal hernia,I spent 18 days in 9 or 10 level pain,and they kept sending me home. I finaly went to an ER and got checked into the hospital,they told me it was my back,and it took a week in the hosptal before getting the right surgen to listen and review the ultra sound again,he agreed to fix the hernia and leave my back alone,they gave me three epedurals and it still didn't help.It turned out some tissue had wrapped itself around the sperm cord pulling on the nerves in the inguinal canal,it may or maynot have been from the RALP,no one will ever know.The pain hurt on the right side deep in the crevice,it hurt to raise my foot one inch off the ground.I actualy had a Dr from outside the hosptal who did the surgery,the hospital was ready to send me home again right before surgery because I kinda went on my own,refused back treatments.The surgery was successfull and the pain was gone when I WOKE UP.My advice is get to the bottom of the pain ,don't put off going to ER at least I got the tests whithout waiting weeks before each test.Don't beat up your hubby,you don't know for sure yet,if it was work or not,sometimes they happen,no fault of anyone,just move on ,be positive!

God bless
