Ok, I'm recovering on my bed now with a bag of frozen peas resting on my junk. Overall, it went "OK". It was not however a 7 minute procedure. Took more like 15, but felt like 30 minutes. And I was lying there on the table with no pants on in the cold operating room, betadine all over my exposed groin, and 2 labs techs just sitting there chatting it up with me. Had to wait like 15 minutes for the doc to show up and get to work. Not the most fun time I've ever had with my bits out. that's for sure.
The needles didn't hurt that much, but the Doc had to "adjust the clamp" at some point, which caused some real pain. Like I couldn't continue talking type of pain, causing me to grunt. Anyway, the techs and the doc kept chatting me up the whole time, keeping my mind off of things I guess. Doc did hold up the snipped out piece of my vas, which I told him he didn't need to do for me. I trusted him... He asked if I wanted to see the rest, and I declined.
Pain afterwards is manageable thus far. Hopefully I won't be asked to do anything today or tomorrow... I have soccer to watch!
