going throught the big V and I don't mean Vegas

[hatidua]

If I had it to do over, I'd have had it done decades earlier - oh, and good tequila works far better than prescription pain killers in this instance. The whole endeavor wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected, not even close.

SNIP SNIP

You know I went down and bought 2 big prunes and put them in a glass jar of alcohol for my buddy a few years ago when he did the big V. Put them in a box for his wife and told her that in this box was work he needed to get done. She opened it and was laughing so hard it got him laughing which hurt real bad.
And thats what good friends do for one another................whats your address?

Had it done two weeks ago. Still recovering. All the guys I know who said I would be at 100% in a couple days were either superhuman or liars. Support, support, support!

A lot of it depends on your doctor, I think. Some of my coworkers had horror stories, but for mine I didn't need anything stronger than ibuprofen. My doc didn't stitch it, less chance of infection, I guess.

I'm not gonna lie and say it didn't hurt, 'cause trust me, I'd complain if it was really bad, but honestly, it was not too tough for me.

Thought about that; I feel sorry for dogs who get taken to the chopping block, couldn't imagine doing it to my self willingly!

There are times when not being able to have children and being forced to adopt is a drag. This is not one of them!

I thought that once. Then a 'miracle' happened and our 2nd daughter was born! Then I had the snippity-snippity, just to make sure. Oh, you'll recover. take the sympathy (and the good-natured ribbing).

Oh the memories.

Had it done years ago at Ft Carson. Doc cauterized the tubes and the smell about made me puke. After the doc left, I asked the unfortunate tech how he could stand that smell. He said, "Makes me hungry." I seized up and asked why. Said, "My momma used to burn the feathers off chickens. Smells the same."

You'll find that they are tied off somewhere in your chest. They tell you you'll be fine in a month, but I did not stop feeling a tug now and then for about 6 months. Riding the Harley over bumps was the absolute worst; you can feel them yanking on your throat.

Get a six pack, open one to drink, and put the next one between your legs. keep cycling through until the pain goes away.

Good Luck!

How about introducing a bill making it mandatory if you vote Democrat?
