Help Fix Wes!

Donation protected
Well months after the ordeal that was stage 1 of my surgical journey my wounds are finally healed and I am patiently waiting until Nov. 2nd to get here so I can return to Texas to have my stage 2 which for most guys would mean something totally different. Unfortunately for me stage 2 consists of 6 or so small procedures to fix the things that went wrong after I got an infection that really messed things up. I will not be opting to have my urethral lengthening redone because there are too many possible complications with having UL done and I don't have the money or the time off that I would have to have in order to deal with these complications.  As the famous phrase says, "It is what it is" read on if you are just joining my page to read what happened to me during stage one and please consider making a donation. Thank you!


Stage 1 story

Thank you to everyone who donated to get me to Texas. Sadly, I've had some complications. During the first operation they discovered I have a blood clotting disorder which no one knew I had. I nearly lost my penis. I was in and out of surgery 3 more times between May 10- May 13. They tried several times to connect the arteries and my body kept saying, nope! The last thing they tried was called a AV fistula and it worked! The last surgery I had was on June 1st and it was to clean up some infection and dead tissue.  During what is called debridement, I lost my new urethra and also gained some new related wounds. I will not go into detail. I had to do wet to dry dressings on these wounds twice a day.  During my last post-op appointment before I left Texas Dr. Crane came in to map out the possible plans. He is a very sympathetic man and he could tell my mental state was not great.  He kept/ keeps assuring me things can be done to fix this.   All this has been scary,  emotionally, physically draining, and financially draining.
