Pete’s experience: Not as bad as I thought

I am 35 years old and have two great kids. My wife and I had two not so great experiences over the summer. She was late with the old period twice. It was nerve-racking for both of us. We have our retirement planned and our children’s college fund planned. I was not looking forward to having to work for another four years and trying to save for a third child’s college fund.

So after much prodding from her and investigating by myself, Mainly speaking with friends and coworkers who have already had the procedure done, I decided to go for it. I chickened out the first time. I canceled my initial appointment with my doctor. I used the “something came up” excuses.

However, I finally went to the consultation. He was receptive to my concerns. I told him I was ready. I made the appointment and was a nervous wreck for three weeks. The day finally came. I had heard from a couple of good friends that they used the six-pack remedy. They said to buy two six-packs and put them in the fridge. When you get back from the doctor’s place one six-pack on your groin. Then start drinking the other six-pack. I thought to myself “I can handle this.”

The procedure

I went to the Doctors office with my wife and daughter. I made sure I had my Jock with me. When they called me in for the procedure I kissed my wife and daughter and said that I would be back in a minute. I was pretty nervous. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean about the pain. The nurse had me strip from the waste down and lay on a table. I was able to cover myself from the waist down. The Doc came in and we started talking about the Lions. Before I knew it he was prodding around down where no MAN had prodded before. It was a little uncomfortable. He asked me if I was doing OK and I said yes. He said that he was going to give me a shot. I said OK. The first part of the prodding was him trying to locate the Vas. I waited for some severe pain. I felt a poke and then some soreness. It really wasn’t pain but kind of achy. He then asked me if I could feel any sharpness. I said no just some pressure.

Ten minutes later he said that he was done with the first side. I never really felt a thing. Some pulling and that was it. However, When he went to do the other side it was a little different. I felt like he was pinching my testicle. He made me flinch a couple of times. I could feel the shot and the ache again. For some reason, the left side hurts a little more. Again it was not as bad as going to the Dentist.

After the surgery

When I got home I put the Ice on my groin. I drank a few beers and watched sports center and the news. My wife played server as a requested more beer and some munches. I never even took aspirin for the pain.

I wore a jock and iced myself down for two days. I didn’t get off the couch much. I missed one day of work. I went back to work on the fourth day. I wore my jock and acted as if nothing ever happened. So far so good for me. I had hardly any swelling and very little pain. To date, I have not even taken an aspirin. I have a little discomfort when I bend over or sit on the toilet. For the most part, I feel great.

I hope my recollection will help another make the right choice. PS! I drank 11 of the beers on the first night. I was hung over the next day but my balls felt fine.
