Just wondering if this is normal n how long until i get better? been bedbound for days

I, bu113tproof, just had surgury on my testicular hydrocele [left testicle] 6 days ago. the hydrocele (testicle) originally was triple the size of the right testicle prior to surgury. Well after surgury I went home and rested for 4 days and gradually my scrotum turned dark purple ( blue black ) and swelled to the size of a grapefruit. So my entire scrotum is bluish black and the shaft of my penis is also bluish black; leaving only the head of my penis white ( caucasian fleshtone ). I originally ripped up the prescriptions for Vicodin 500 but realized days later that this was a mistake ( get the pain meds ). I am an addict currently on methadone and I was trying to avoid the pain meds if possible but sometimes they are needed. 6 months ago I started a relationship with a woman and wanted to look cosmetically good for her, I was embarrassed when I took off my clothes and she would see the left testicle that was triple normal size. This, SHE, was the main reason that I had the surgury done. I wanted to look as appealing as possible to her in bed, not a guy with a freakishly large testicle..so I went under the knife. Yesterday,5 days after surgury , I went to my Dr.'s office to get new prescriptions and to have him take a look at the swelling. I was scared because it was so swollen and purple, I was worried about an infection or something else could be wrong...that is why I went to his office. He is telling me to come in again next week (wednesday) so he can check on me..He said there will be swelling and it should ALL be gone in three months....THREE MONTHS...ugh. I hope it goes down some because I really want to make love with my girlfriend , but I will not until I look somewhat normal down there. She and I made love daily in one way or another...but the first 4 days after the surgury we did not do anything and it was very difficult for me to mentally deal with. I have found that the mental, psychological effects after the surgury are the most difficult thing to deal with especially being in a loving relationship. It is hard being a man and not being able to satisfy my womans needs, I do other things for her, but it is still mentally stressful to me to not be able to make love. Hopefully the swelling will abate and our relationship will return once again have that all important sexual aspect to it again.

I had the hydrocele repair surgery on my right testicle on 03/25/2013. I had been living with the condition for about two years, going to the urologist every three months to have it drained. It would get to be about the size of orange by the time I would have it drained. I finally decided to take the advice of the doctor and have the condition resolved for good. I was told that I would most likely have similar swelling after the suregey and this would take up to two months to go away. The surgery took about one hour under general anesthesia and i awoke about two hours later. No trouble with the first pee and was sent home and told to use ice take the pain meds as needed and see the doc in 2 weeks. That first day I felt pretty good and thought if this is the worst no problem. By the end of the second day, my scrotum had swelled to the size of a cantaloupe - approx. 20 inches in diameter and as a deep purple. Thinking this is way outside what I was told to expect I went to see the doc that day. He takes one quick look and say this is normal go home. 8 days after the surgery, I started draining a considerable abount of dark purple blood out of the incision line. I call the doc he says nothing to be done about it now so come see me in a month. It's now 17 days after surgery, the swelling has gone down some but is still very large, a few of the stitches have pulled out and I now have an open wound the size of a quarter that drains the dark blood. I've requested my records to be sent to a new urologist.
