I get a Vasectomy today!!!

I guess I should look forward to this

It's not the fact that I won't be able to fertilize an egg anymore - that's actually going to be a relief.

It's the procedure that's freaking me out a little...

it looked all swollen, like a grapefruit with a nose!

:D

I also forgot the pic was still on my camera and passed it to my friend Chris to show him some other picture. He started flipping through it, when suddenly I remembered and said "CHRIS! STOP!"

He just looked at me and shook his head and said "too late."

ouch!

and good for you! Congrats.

the packages are pretty form-fitting!

Had mine almost four years ago... and it hardly hurts at all anymore.

not that big of a deal really. the toughest part was when they tied up the little guy and clipped it to my shirt to get him out of the way.

and have been quite thankful, although it took me a while to work up the balls (wacka wacka!) to do it.

It's a fairly easy procedure, and although it hurts, they do give you Vicodin. :D

Surely the procedure isn't too bad. Just is in a scary area!

but I hear it's no big deal beyond that. :)

To take control of ones own "birth control" is the wisest and most controversial decision one makes. I congratulate you on thinking this through to the best decision for yourself, as well as your significant other(if there is one in your life).

(edited for spelling)

After years of doctors either refusing to even discuss it with me or telling me that I'd "see things differently in a few years" I finally had it done. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

I had no fear of that

It was the FUCKING NEEDLE THEY PUT IN YOUR SCROTUM that made me freak

The doc pulled out that needle, my eyes got as big as saucers, and he says, "don't worry, this will just be like a bee sting."

I sat up on the table, looked at him, and asked, "have you ever been stung by a bee THERE?"

"Good point," he replied as he jabbed the needle in.

Other than that, it wasn't too bad. I was mowing the lawn the next day.

When he first put it in, I jumped, or "Blinked" in Palin-speak and it jabbed him.

And he was a cool guy.

Sticking a man in the n^%$ with a needle would have to be at the top of that list!

Feels OK - the worst part was the needle. When they had to push the needle in far, it hurt in a bad wayl

No way in hell I wanted to see anybody coming at my boyz with a sharp instrument!!

Afterwards was no biggie. Keep lots of ice on hand, and a big soft easy chair. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT do anything strenuous (like, say, mowing your law with a push mower) for the next few days. They'll swell up like grapefruit ...

Also, if you have small children, do not, I REPEAT, DO NOT allow them to jump into your lap knees first. That actually did happen to me, and I can tell you it is the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced. I didn't actually "allow" this to happen, I just didn't see it coming.

Pay no attention to the fact that you are black and blue from the knees up to about the waist ...

Bake

BOY! Do I feel like a idiot!

Did the doc give you some valium or some sort of tranquilizer? I never felt a thing, the recovery was a breeze, but DON'T SKIP the sperm check afterward...you really don't want to be surprised that you were one of the few that it doesn't work for the first time.


Grab that plastic cup and get busy!

I took them both, and the doc said he was surprised i could still speak coherently

Ask for "conscious sedation" if it's available. The procedure is relatively painless, but men get understandably freaked out when anyone wields a sharp instrument in that area (thank you Dr. Freud). And take it easy and don't ride a motorcycle for a week or two.

And it won't "take" for some time, so continue to use whatever else you're using to prevent pregnancy until the doc gives you the okay.

SEVEN DAYS!!!!!

Aeeeeeiiiiieee!!!!


This will be tough but at least I will have vicodin. That turns your sex drive into a non-issue.

Actually - its a good thing

We now know there will be no extra mouths to feed down the line

Well, unless that dang blasted stork that keeps trying to land in our backyard gets his way...

with rug rats tugging at their capes?

lol

:)

Hilarious.

Even if, (as noted in a post earlier) Larry Niven is an asshole RW'er.

:rofl:

That one's a classic.

Even if Niven is a conceited asshole.

While you are technically correct (in that you are using "impotent" to mean "sterile"), you may want to revise your wording. ;)

Congratulations, sir!

it's less than 50% of the time that they screw up and wind up accidentally cutting off all of your junk, and far less than 2% of the time that a spiteful surgeon does so on purpose.
