`may cause drowsiness` is always an indication that taking that medication will put you down like a rabid dog.
my urologist prescribed an Atavan for me to take half an hour before the vasectomy and 15 Lortab to take as needed if the pain was overbearing. i have to say, that i`m not in much pain.
the getting kicking in the testes analogy is correct, but in my case it`s been the dull throbbing after the kick as opposed to the sharp savage pain of the kick.
i took one of the Lortab as soon as i got home as a pre-emptive strike and kept by berries cool with some frozen cranberries vic had in the freezer. i took another Lortab last night at the first twinge of serious pain and passed out almost immediately on the couch.
this morning there doesn`t seem to be much swelling and i heroically or stupidly depending on your perspective didn`t take any medication until we got back from vic`s coloscopy; she is in perfect health, but has been banned from sex for two day — that works out well. returning home, i decided against more Lortab this morning in favour of the ibuporfen and those seem to be working well.
i`m supposed to go back out to work tomorrow and i think i should be up to it, in two to three weeks or 10 – 12 ejaculations, i`m supposed to drop off a sample at my doctor`s. once there are two samples without semen in it, the vasectomy will be considered a success.
this contains more information that you may want to know about me, so if issues of sexuality and penises are likely to offend; move on now.
caveat emptor.
i`ve made out with another man, i`ve been dressed as a woman, i`ve shaved my pubes for sheer excitement; as opposed to currently — for medical reason; but the gayest thing i have ever done is my life, i did last night; i wore a jock strap; sorry the politically correct term is athletic support; for the first time.
i could google the history of the athletic support but i have my own theory. i wear boxer briefs that give me more support than that. i believe that support was invented by someone that want to believe the young man he was having sex with was just a really lithe woman. think about it; the brain bleach is over to the side there; all the support does is prevent the testes from hanging down while giving unencumbered access to the ass, from the back with a lot of lube and a lot of imagination…
i suppose me being flippant and snarky is my way of dealing with my first major surgery ever. i`ve never owned an athletic support before but i had to buy one to wear after the vasectomy. i`m just fascinated by how pointless it looks and feels. i`m off to take my pre-surgery drugs to `calm` me, the procedure is suppose to take 45 minutes and then i`m going to feel like someone has kicked me in the groin, for two days. at the same time i am to become very intimate with some frozen peas and abstain from sex for a week. hell week begins now.
between my two medical appointments in as many days, i seem to be moving forward and standing still at the same time.
after a swift and successful vasectomy consult, i`ve been scheduled for the actual cut in early April and left armed with instructions and a script for some mighty powerful drugs.
this morning`s poking and prodding was a mite less conclusive or i should say, no one was saying squat to me. something wasn`t quite right with the ultrasound, but the lab tech wont say anything to me, other than i should wait to hear from my doctor. now there are words that don`t fill you with confidence. i also had to have more blood drawn to check my levels of iron and another test i don`t recognise. yes, i read my charts, i like to know what is being done to me and why.
today is my last day at work for a week, then it`s off to cool DC for four days. we`re not leaving until tomorrow afternoon because vic has class in the morning, which also means we`re not making the straight 11 hour drive. we`re stopping off at my mother in law`s and enjoying her amazing waffles and doing the last 8 hours on sunday, on the return trip it`s a non-stop drive back. the 11 hour drive back doesn`t faze me, i`ve done it before and gone to work the next day but i also have buns of steel and an large bladder. i`m not so sure about my passengers.
i don`t know if i have the willpower to stay away for a week but we`ll see how it goes. i`m taking the laptop under the guise of needing some way to dl the images from the camera we`re borrowing and it does have a wireless card and i`m sure i can find some bandwidth to poach. but if you don`t see me know i`m have fun in dc and i`ll be back home by friday; vic and her classes again; with pictures in tow.
