Penile implant move the pump

Well, my doc has told me I need to have my pump moved. I have been completely unable to use it because it somehow kind of stuck right up under the penis. I can get at the inflation ball somewhat, but only somewhat, and can't get at the release valve thing at all. I tried hard to move it, as my doc requested, but I think it only got worse really. I'm not really sure why it's up there; the doc says it's probably because it got pushed up as my scrotum healed and became caught up with the tubing.

My doc says it's very simple. He's had to do this occasionally (about 3 or 4 % he says) before, but I do have to go under general again. And I'm not scheduled until the end of the month. And, I have to deal with the same people at Bon Secors St Francis in Midlothian that screwed up my blood test and made me jump though hoops to prove them wrong for the initial surgery. I'm not happy. Goddammit.

But - eyes on the prize, right? I already have enough experience to know this implant really will work, once we get this minor glitch straighted out.
