Re: Its Over (Ouch!)

Well ladies and gentlemen,

As I told you yesterday, I went in to have vasectomy done, and I was almost a complete wreck. It started the night before with my last minute attempt at getting a Valium prescription filled (prescribed by the doc for my anxiety about the procedure) and finding that two pharmacies were closing, so I wouldn't be able to pick it up in time....my last hope was the ever wonderful Walgreen's 24 hour pharmacy. I got there, filled out my information since I was a new customer and they took the prescription from me, but then returned it saying that they could not take it since it had no DATE! I gave up and went to the appointment Friday morning without it. We arrived there at 9:45, but I was not taken back there until 11:15 due to some emergency procedure. The amount of time made it worse, and I was extremely nervous.......I had asked the nurse if Tiffany and Noah could come back there with me, but never got an answer. The procedure then started, and seeing how nervous I was, the doctor asked if I wanted my wife back here with me....I almost screamed yes to him. Unfortunately for Tiff, she walked into the room and saw me in all my glory being operated on (sorry baby). It was painful, but not as bad as I thought. I basically felt like I was being hit in the testicles over and over again. The procedure was quick, and I am thankful for that. The doctor and the nurses took good care of me...and I thank God that my initial impression of the doctor was wrong.

I came home, put ice on my parts, ate some dinner that Tiffany was so kind to go get me, and slept for three hours. We did leave and go get Nicolas from my parents' house.....and basically the only reason I went was to show my dad that I was up and walking about and to call him a pansy ( he had the same procedure done and was a whiny mess my step-mother told me)!

Today has been a day of less activity and I took a nap for five hours, taking Tylenol for pain and taking it easy while playing with Noah and trying not to be too much a hindrance on my wife. The pain is not as bad and I can walk around fairly well, so I should be back at work on Monday.


Thank you Tiffany for all the waiting on me that you have done. I love you so much and I hope that I have not been too stubborn of a " patient."
