>1) post op what are the most comfortable to wear Boxers or Pants?
I wore briefs.
>2) Will i be able to wash my penis early after or will i have to cover it when showering? - Whats the best cover to use???
Speak to your doctor about cleaning.
>3) Sleeping - i currently sleep in my boxers will this still be feasible?
Probably. Maybe not the first couple of nights.
>4) Night time erections...Im always getting these and certainly morning ones surely this will be incredibly painfull is there anything that can be done?
Nope. Just walk them off.
>5) Will i be mobile for the first few days or will i be stuck in bed???
You'll be mobile, but you need to be careful.
>6) Whats would you say is the average recovery time?
The first couple of weeks is when the bulk of the healing is done. Once the stitches are out it'll take a few more weeks for the swelling to go down.
>7) I have the op on a friday is it feasible to go out and watch the football on a wednesday?? - or will this be too painful especially with the cold weather!
Could be a bit uncoformtable, but I don't think there would be any reason why not. But then again, maybe the cold will aggrevate it.

Good luck.
