With 3 or 4 female nurses watching....
When I had mine done my wife and I walked into the day ward and a mates Mrs was the senior nurse on duty, it was on my birthday and she had arranged for the whole team to sing happy birthday. She took my hand, looked at the wife and said ' don't worry Jen, we'll look after him' winked at her and led me away :eek::LOL::LOL::LOL:

I got done back in August, It wasn't a lot worse than going to the dentist to be honest.. I had 4 days off luckily, not much swelling but no blackening etc and very happy with how it went to be fair.
Havnt had the swim test yet.

While the surgeon was down below pulling and tugging he asked what my job is, I told him and he said "ah so have you seen this done with animals then?" I said "yeah I've done hundreds of calves and pigs and thousands of lambs between the burdizzo, rubber rings and scalpel" he asked what happened to them, I said "chucked on the floor, for the dogs usually" he wretched and almost threw up all over my nuts lol, the 2 fit young nurses had a big laugh about it to mind!

Jesus I had a stent removed through the old chap that was put in after a fairly painful kidney stone op and that was uncomfortable to put it mildly. Getting the gonads disconnected from the er mainframe sounds a tad much for me. In saying that herself is in calf with child no.1 and we both agree 2 is all we want so who knows what I'll be made do. I didn't want to do up the hall and landing last year but the threat of no sex until it was done had me working round the clock to get it done hence the calf...... :ROFLMAO:

LOL. We have 3. I can assure you, 2 is plenty. The third is the Boy though so it's all good, except he is basically like a small chimpanzee and keeps nicking my tools all the time to play with ( they seldom come back! )

Nothing to it as far as I'm concerned. I was heat sealed and glued up instead of stitches, could smell the flesh burning . It was a little embarrassing but the doc told me he had done probably 10,000 snips so I was in safe hands .
Had it done Friday and back to light work on Monday , was a nice bit of time off enjoying being looked after by the Mrs. I would have it done again tomorrow if need be but after the test the river is free from swimmers, so no need to worry anymore. 3 kids is far too many.

Found a lump on one of mine, so doc says it has to go,had a hernia to repair as well, so I ask him to disconnect whilst he was in there. It's like having a hedgehog sharing your underwear for a short while afterwards, because of the hernia I had a week off the physical work, did a lot of catching up on the paperwork.

Brother in law got a bit pee'd off with his though, wife made him have it done and had a few complications, a few weeks later sister in law had some problems and had to have a historectomy.

Seriously , I would not worry at all , go and get it done and man up !
Put it like this it's pain free in comparison to the "Jewish " conversion op , and I am not religious in any way , but that's another story.
