Need a hand hold, Husband in hospital

[MarmaladeCloud]

Husband is in hospital waiting to find out if he needs surgery on his penis. He injured it yesterday morning whilst doing sports.

His penis is basically one big ballooned blood blister now.
He's due to have an MRI today to work out if all the blood is coming from a burst vessel which isn't serious and would just heal on its own. Or whether
one of the 2 tubes (can't remember the actual name) that carry blood to cause an errection has been fractured. If it's the later he would need surgery but still may struggle with erections.

I can't visit him due to covid.

I know he wants me to support him by reassuring him and all the usual supportive stuff. He has a tendancy to panic and think the worst.

This is so difficult because we have been having discussuons / arguments recently about our relationship. Basically he thinks that for our relationship to work I need to change...by talking about my feelings more. My natural response to any negative feeling is to withdraw. I can see how talking more would help and I'm willing to try. But I feel so rejected by it. I feel like his love and commitment to our mariage is conditional on me changing.

Any support is appreciated. I'm just on edge waiting by my phone for updates while I'm with one of our sons.

Hope he recovers well.

Glad he’s okay. I thought you could only fracture an erect penis, had no idea it could happen playing sports.

When you consider the operations that are carried out on people who want to change sex I can’t believe the surgeons can’t fix this accidental injury.

Poor guy

@MintMatchmaker Yeah it's unusual to get a fracture when flacid but the impact was so hard that it happened.

Yeah @Malibuismysecrethome true

Hi OP
My BF fractured 2 of the three columns during sex (i was on top and he pushed me to sit up and i think i leant back too far), although he was sore for quite a while afterwards his erections were fine. He probably lost a tiny bit of length from the surgery but was all functional!

@imayhavelostmymarbles thanks, that's good to know. Can you remember how long the recovery was?

So the last he told me was that the damage that they repaired was on an artery but to get to that they did some damage to something else which could cause the errectile dysfunction.

Its like playing Chinese whispers they tell him whats happened when he's coming round off anaesthetics so obvs he's not good at taking it all in then he tells me and I probs don't remember it accurately!
