I (the missus and me) have made the decision (well more the missus) for me to get the snip
After looking into the cost ($600 if your in the wrong postcode, I used my Forrestfield address for reference and Medicare covered it, I wonder if I had a place in Peppermint Grove if it would be the same deal (or maybe they are trying to encourage us eastern suburbers to stop breeding)) and weighing up the pros and cons I went in late yesterday afternoon and had it done, so I am now taking it easy for a few days with sore nuts
I’ve been applying ice packs as recommended but they still feel as if they are as big as oranges (even though they haven’t)
Apparently no swelling is a good result and the pain will demise
Anybody else had it done got any advise of how to resolve the aching issues??
Now I have to wait a day or so before I can use the complimentary stubbie holder and a week or so before I can use the old fella again

Bag of frozen peas is the go, although theses days they have ice packs.
I was out doing jobs the next day

Comes out of hibernation every few months for a run
24hrs maybe a bit longer i and was good to go, plenty of ice packs early on is the go.
I told the bride that the doc said we needed to do it every night for 30days straight before a sample can be tested.......
I’ve moved from the cold pack to frozen peas as it gives me a snack whilst watching the cricket(I’d forgotten how good peas taste when frozen, used to raid the freezer when I was a kid)
The wife has read all the literature and stated that it’s a minimum of 35 times over three months before the test
Minus one week after the operation, four days abstinence before the test, and the three weeks when the red flag is flying, equates to roughly every one and a half days and because of the Irish blood from a couple of generations back, the old “sure to be sure” theory I’ve told her it’s every day for three months
Now I better send her down to the shop for more peas (maybe peas and corn for something different)🤣

Hi,
Hmmm, I remember riding home from the 'op' standing on the pegs of the motorbike.
Got lots of sympathy for a few days,
Cheers
Doc told me it was 30 “shots” before the sample needs to be sent off.
Told the Doc the challenge was accepted - dropped the sample off in a week
We even gave the old fella a road test about an hour after getting home from the hospital - still worked like a charm - but WOW, looked like a Saints supporter down there for a few days after...
Cheers

Been there done that and yes it is uncomfortable for a couple of days.
When I remarried I had a reversal done and the pain and discomfort from that was much worse.

Geez Tombie, 30 shots in a week, you must have some harem or one well trained lady
Giving him a workout an hour later, your idea or the wife’s? No rest for the wicked eh
It sounds like Mrs Tombie puts her pants on in the morning only having to take them off again before breakfast
The pain appears to be subsiding or maybe I’m getting high on peas
Hopefully the reversal is not required, the two boys cause me enough headaches (let alone seem to suck the old bank account dry) without having more
