It will mate. As soon as the swelling dies down. Don't worry. Should be fully healed within about 4 weeks.

My swelling and bruising came out around day 2 or 3 and had gone down lots by around day 8.

We can't really tell without saying. I can very well be that the swelling is so severe that it, for now, covers the penis head and it should go away in time. If you are obese/overweight that can also be a contributing factor. How long is it after the circumcision? The penis head should be somewhat exposed.

4 days, and what I mean is...Will it show after the stitches and bandages go away...Because I can not see it (the gland), I keep telling myself its part of the process but I also hope it is not something I should be concerned about...Will I be able to stretch back the shaft from over my gland....Thanks

Time will reveal all, you need to relax and let it heal. It will sort itself out after a couple of weeks.
