recently circumcised at 43yrs old

I have a circumcision 4 months ago in Canada at the age of 46.  I was pretty straightforward with local anethetic. I shared my hair the day before just to save the clinic from needing to do that. My reason with party because of many infections and partly because my partner was encouraging it. i found that I only needed some tylenol for the first 24 hours, then I did not need any pain meds. There was soreness for a about 4 days, but mostly the first 2 days. Swelling for about 8 days, but the swelling itself did not cause any pain. Because it was sensitive for about 10 days, I kept a clean padded bandage on so it would not be uncomfortable in my underwear and trousers.  I rested 1 day, but kept the activity light for 3 days. I had surgery on a Thursday so I could take the friday off and return to work  on Monday.  So pain and recovery was minimal. However, masturbation was off limits for 3.5 weeks. Sex did not resume for almost 7 weeks.  I might have taken it slower than most, but I progressed at the pace I felt most comfortable with. The 2 parts that were kind of frustration were: 1) stiches that were itchy.  that was 1 week. and night time erections. that was almost 2.5 weeks.  that was my experience and my Dr. said it was pretty typical except that I needed less pain meds than most men.  its been 4 months now. i have healed 100%. but the Dr. said there might be noticeable changes in feeling and sensitivity for up to 8-12 monhs.
