There are a few guys i would love this done too and not to prevent pregnancy, I don't even sleep with them, I just want to see them in pain

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

DH had this done and it went very well. He did not ever take or need any pain med. Just iced the area and TLC from me ! Hope your recovery gets better.

ROFLOL!!!!!

That was awesome....sounds like Zurg talking about his....His doctors name was Dr. Cutler...and I DIDN"T WANT to watch..

Zurg said the worst part for him was watching the smoke as the Dr did the cathetization(sp).......

Glad things seem to be healing well......

 

[SonjaB]

You guys are cracking me up, LOL LOL LOL

Don's doing well, being a bad patient, not letting me wait on him, LOL, so he's definately on the mend.

Anyone else have a story?? I'm loving these, LOL!!!

 

[DonBII]

So funny to see him reclined on the couch with this dismembered hand cradling his "jewels"!!!!

CrazyBoutDisney...... I just don't know how I'd feel about the Adam's Family 'Hand' helping me out..... Or is that Hamburger Helper??!?!

 

[*Flower*]

the Doctor had me strip from the waist down and gave me a piece of paper to cover myself

DH asked if a Post-It note sheet would have been enough..........

 

[DonBII]

LOL, Flower, I assume your DH is referring to the fear factor????

Well, I asked Sonja, and she said "Ummm, why would one guy be interested in the size of another guy?"

Good question......

 

[browneyes]

Sonja, all I can say is you've got a real man..

, Don. Are you sure it was the dr that was doing all the digging and tugging and not Sonja? I know exactly what you mean about the tugging thing. When I had my tubal, the midwife at my OB/GYN removed the stitches out of my belly button. I swore my eyelids blinked when she did that. It was a very, very weird thing. Glad you're doing well.

Don-

He was referring to the 'fear factor'.
When I read him your post, he said 'he's a braver man than I'....

And no, he wasn't comparing anything... he just thought that it was funny that you weren't given a sheet or blanket or something as you made your way to the surgical room.........

Sorry if I offended.....

 

[SonjaB]

LOLLLLL, nobody was offended. Hey, I see you have a trip planned for three days from now, have a great time!

Browneyes,

Thank you so much, I feel like I have the very best real man.

 

[DonBII]

awwwwwwwww Thank you honey!!!

...and thank you for caring for me this weekend!!! You are one in a million and I consider myself very lucky to have a wonderful woman like you in my life.

 

[SideshowBob]

Yikes.... too many memories, of just a couple of months ago!

That "tugging/digging" stuff is for the birds.... well, not LITERALLY, you know. SSB has to admit feeling very unnerved and shaken just after the actual operation... a VERY kind local friend drove me back, which I had planned on trying to do myself... eek!

However, being the odd trooper that he is ... SSB drove 750 miles the very next morning. The Doctor told me that I should feel like doing that about a week later, and I did it less than 12 hours later... eek!!!!

Glad that you are on the mend!

Sounds like you had it rougher than I did last September. I had the "no scalpel" variety. One local anesthetic, one small vertical slit, two quick snips, and that was it. No stitches, no cauterization. Minimal swelling. You have to look real hard to find the site of the incision. I was mobile in 24 hours and was able to sit in a camping chair and my son's soccer game the next day. The doc only does them on Friday evenings (30 minutes per patient) so you can be 100% come Monday morning. He said he couldn't believe that so many doctors were still using the older more invasive techniques.

One funny note... The office he uses is a shared facility and in the room I was in there was a small mounted display of "historical" surgical tools. Very crude and wicked looking. I quipped that he really ought to remove that display lest it scare anyone off. I also resisted the urge to hold myself and groan for effect as the next guy was entering the office as we were departing!!!

Geoff, I really wish we'd have talked before last Friday .
