One week post stage 2 of phallo; I got the Foley catheter out today (massive ow, still feeling the dull pain) and no more crazily wrapped penis due to a ton of gauze, meaning I feel incredibly free and like I could do anything.

Now I only have to apply antibiotic gel on the glansplasty graft part and then wrap that with gauze and that’s it, meaning I can also finally wear my regular underwear and not the mesh boxers from the hospital that are quite comfy otherwise tbh, aside from still having the SP catheter which I massively dreaded, but it’s not nearly as much of a challenge as I thought, and is just fine, and if I were to need it for longer than we think (2 more weeks), it wouldn’t all be over for me emotionally as I thought.

I’ve been showering with one hand so far as my penis has been pulling down on my pubic area in an uncomfortable way due to the massive amount of gauze under coban wrap, but now I don’t have to do so anymore and can properly wash my hair and everything else (showering pending, will update in an hour, lol).

One thing I’m worried about, especially as I’ve been paranoid about UL complications now that I’ve actually done it, is that they mentioned I have a small hole on my urethra, but it will probably close by itself, and they did a swab for possible infections.

Edit: showering went good and I can’t believe I have an actual penis now (even though I already did post stage 1, but now it actually looks like a penis)! However, I am very worried about the small hole, because it is not that small. But if they’re not worried, then I’ll try not to be as well.
