Cameron at 5 weeks
Numerous people have been asking for more posts of Cameron, so here are some more pics of "Everyone's Current Favorite".
I don't understand the problem
So I went in for a vasectomy yesterday. Prior to that I had heard all the horror stories about the pain and discomfort, etc. All you guys that whine about that are pussies! Sure there is a little discomfort when you doctor injects the pain killers into your ball sack, and yes there is some discomfort after the procedure - a mild form of the kicked in the nuts feeling. But look at the benefits, once this is all over you no longer have to worry about getting your wife or girlfriend or whatever pregnant - that's a benefit at twice the cost.
Here is how it went down. Two weeks ago I went into Orange County Neurology for a consult. They put all the guys in a room to watch a humorous video about the procedure and to go over some of the associated risks. Then you meet the doctor (Dr. Shuerke - not sure on the spelling) and he makes sure that you are physically able to have the procedure. The day of the operation I went into the office and was taken back to procedure room, similar to an operating room just less fancy. I had two assistants to prep me for the main event; both female , both young or younger than me, and both attractive. The only scary part is when they broke out the Bic razor. They shaved my balls and then clean with an iodine solution.
They ladies left and the doctor entered. He started with the local anesthesia, which was like pulling the hair off your nuts. Then a small incision was made. From there he grab one tube and spliced it, then cauterized and capped both ends. He said reversal is possible, but my thought is - Hell No! He repeated the process on the other tube, threw in a suture and I was done.
Now here are my recommendations: Eat before the procedure, a jock strap is a good idea so you can throw it away when you are done healing, and have someone to drive you home. I found that I was fine using a bag of frozen corn to help reduce swelling and add in the comfort, but I only needed it for a couple of hours in the typical on 15/off 15 minutes scenario. I also found that a couple of glasses of Makers Mark helped to take the edge off. I slept fine, but I did have a pillow between my legs to give room to the now swollen boys. My final recommendation is that this a great excuse to have someone wait on you hand and foot, especially your significant other - take advantage of it.
