Hey, Guys... I am home recouperating.....
« on: February 06, 2009, 11:53:44 AM »
Hey guys... I have the day off work and it is almost 70 degrees outside.  Sounds like a great day to be outside having fun.   However... I am at home sitting in a chair with my feet elevated.

You see.  I went to the urologist this morning and had a vasectomy.  Yes... The big "V".  It just came to the point in life where we weren't planning on having any more kids and my wife was having some problems with meds that she was taking.

It was really pretty painless.  Now I am just trying to take it easy to make sure the recovery goes well.

If any other guys have been through this and have any advice, let me know.  I'd like to know what your stories are.

Hope your recovery continues to proceed w/o incident.  Never had it done, but my life and that of my wife would require the help of three guys on three camels to do anymore--but then there was a story on the news today about a 60 year old woman with twins--didn't know anyone was still that dumb at that age.  Love my kids, but I'd go nuts, looney toons, if I had any young ones other than grandchildren now.  Anyway, good luck, enjoy a new kind of clipped freedom from worry >:D >:D >:D >:D, since you've already clipped the hair. Hope your wife is well.

That kinda how I feel. I love my kids and wouldn't want to do without them.  But I honestly couldn't imagine having anymore at this point in my life.  So far this has been a pretty easy and painless procedure.  Hopefully I wll say the same thing in the morning.

Considering the "area in question" I hope you have  a speedy recovery. I need to have it done myself. Wife and I have been pretty darn fortunate that we have not had an unplanned pregnancy.
Our country demands all our strength, all our energies. To resist the powerful combination now forming against us will require every man at his place. If victorious we will have everything to hope for in the future. If defeated, nothing will be left for us to live for.

There really isn't much to it and it is pretty cheap insurance.  And a bonus is you can milk it and be waited on for a couple of days by the wife. >:D

I really haven't had any pain.  I took some tylenol when I got home. The doc game me a prescription for some pain meds but I haven't needed them.  He said to keep my feet up today.  I can do light activity tomorrow and just take it easy for the next week.

Sly -- two words:  ICE PACKS. 

Actually I have been using frozen vegables.  It works better than an ice pack.  lol

Just don't come to our house for Stir Fry any time soon.  lol

Take it easy, keep the ice on and enjoy a little TV. Had mine done on a Friday and was back at work the following Monday. You'll be fine I'm sure. Here's to a speedy recovery!

Hope the Brat & Potatoes are good to go soon, Rick.

Wait, I didn't think they had vegetables in KC...Oh yeah, frozen.

I had mine 5 years ago.  Was back at work on Monday.  A little sore but no real pain.

Frozen peas are perfect, they act like a frozen bean bag kind of.  Be careful getting up and down from a sitting position.  When things shift with gravity, you will definitely know they are there.  My wife waited on me for the weekend. She was the best.

Also, not to get to much info here, but boxers and vasectomies don't really get along to well.  If you don't have any traditional "tighty whities" get a couple of pair.  You'll be fine in a couple of days.
