6 weeks post surgery: Undetectable !!! (that is <.04)
The happiest day of my life since my marrage 19 years ago.
Using the pump & vitamin V: I'm only about 60% toward wood, but having
orgasms again is great.

I asked my uro about the taking the following (which I've been taking
for years anyway) & he nodded & said, "Fine", however I just can't
wade through the pros & cons of Flax seed, so I'm staying away from
it.
Fish Oil caps
Flax Seed Oil
Pomegranate juice or caps
Selenium
Grapeseed extract, Resveratrol
Lycopene
Green Tea
Vit. D

I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow, so today is the big laxative
clean-out day - what a joy. . . .
Thank you all for being here.

That's great news, Zoom. Let's hope that the first of many
undetectable PSAs for many years to come.

All the best,

Great news, Zoom! Undetectable is always good, but 60% wood is tremendous
at 6 weeks.

How does one gauge 60% wood? Unless we're talking cords :)

Is progress soley based on nerve recovery?
