A Pinch And A Burn
Filed Under Helpful Info | Leave a Comment
The last thing in the world I need right now is to get my wife pregnant. A baby is totally not part of the plan. I have one daughter who is turning 18 in a few months, and I love her dearly. But she is about to reach the age of majority, and I do not want to start all over again. I am in my mid forties, so if we popped out another kid now, I would be in my sixties when it graduated from high school. Maybe I’m selfish, but now it is my time.
So last week I went to an urologist for a little procedure to make sure that we would not have a little accident that would change both of our lives. It was my third appointment with the doctor, and this time was go time for the outpatient procedure. I had taken a valium that morning, so I was pretty relaxed. After a local anesthetic to my southern hemisphere the doctor told me I would experience a “pinch and a burn.” Yep, that pretty well described it.
After the procedure I felt fine though. We even went to lunch! But the next day I felt like somebody had kicked me square in the beanbag. A bag of frozen peas was my best friend that day. But by the second day, I was fine. After three days I was even riding my motorcycle. Getting a vasectomy is really not a big deal.
