Jurassic,
Sorry to hear about that. What about one little nip or a shot before you go in (with lots of gum)?
In part 2, you mentioned that it happened as you were getting up. In a way you are more sensitive then - if you could just make it to hardness, you'd be alright... Also, what about ED meds, so you are solid - and free to take your mind off the matter..?
Anyway, good luck.
