Hi there, everyone is different in their 'recovery' time so there isn't really an actual answer to your question. It sounds a bit frustrating for you - have you talked to your partner about this?

Hello, thank you for your enquiry, it is something I am asked a lot. Would you mind telling me how old your partner is and whether he or she has any other health problems? How is your relationship?
