d for you !
Well, surgery is over, and I'm back home. Everything appears to have gone well, and I'm doped up a bit on Norco right now and an ice pack keeping things cool. It feels like I've been kicked hard in the nads, but so far, so good...
Thanks for the prayers and well wishes, looks like they worked!
Now we will see how the next few days go.

Nope, I'm missing one large painful spermatocele the surgeon cut out for me, originally caused by the vasectomy quack doctor.
So hopefully for that reason alone, my pain level down there will go down.
There's a real dull 'ache' going on down there right now, so I can't tell much. I have a huge cut through my abdomen with a clear bandage over it that's kind of gross.

Yeah, funny, funny. "Distraction therapy". Same reason that Acupuncture works. Who can feel pain over there >>>
When you are stabbed full of holes over here <<<
:laugh::laugh::laugh:
On a serious note, it's getting harder and harder for me to get out of my chair (a couch recliner) It seems to be putting more strain on the wound then I expected. I stopped using the recliner part, and am now sitting more upright. That helps some. I'm going to have to experiment over the next day or so..

It freaking HURTS today when I move in certain ways that pull even slightly on the right side where the incision is. Even hopped up on pain meds. I did a walk (told to do so) of around 100 yards out and back, and I'm trying to keep it flexible.
Not sure what else I can do to help, except now after writing this, I remembered I should be icing it. Gonna get that ice pack now.

Feel your PAIN, had to try and fix a leak in our roof after my vasectomy almost killed me.
Tryed to find a virtual Doctor to send you, but all the pics put me off my breakfast so instead I'm sending a virtual nurse
Don't worry it will get better give it a week:thumbsup:
PS man what I would'nt give for just one piece of bacon off that

Ok, thanks. I'm trying to walk as much as I can, but it's not easy when you feel like a knife is ripping you open. How much walking would be too much?
I finally was able to take a dump, and that let off some of the pressure on my belly that was causing pain. It's amazing, I've been taking Milk of Magnesia, and those colace pills, and drinking a LOT of water, but still got bound up a bit. Of course, you don't dare strain much, so I couldn't do anything there.
