Don't worry, it's not common to have problems at all. Just make sure you report any suspecious things both here and to your doctor. David_R is very knowledgable in case you have problems. I can trade email with you too if you need peace of mind. I know it's scary, and I am unlucky, but I am healing up very quickly over the last few days. I may end up only lag behind EBT for a week at the most. I had problems mainly because I have overlooked the importance of after care and expectations. You are already getting a good start by coming to this forum. Make sure you ask your doctor for a day by day caring, bandage changing, and showering schedule prior to the IV while you are still 100% conscious. It helps great if you can get a series of normal pictures to compare your progress to. I wish I had that because I found out I had infection like about 7 days after I was infected. (I am sso dumb :( ).

If I knew ahead that I will encounter all the problems, I will still choose to do it. The alternative is way to risky for me. I do not want to die of stupid dick cancer at all cost.

Good luck on the 21st. We look forward to hear from you that night.

>All of your experiences is making me very scared of my op on the 21st. :( I hope those types of problems aren't common.. I was hoping it'd all be good except for the sensitivity issue.

>>>No, not Bacitracin. It's Bactine that I am referring to. AI=Benzalkonium Chloride 0.13% w/w, and Lidocaine hydrochloride 2.5% w/w. It's helps prevent infection and relieves pain, but consider the fact that infection is already a fact, should I even bother?
>>And how long should I dip salt water each time?
