DH is having his vasectomy done Monday afternoon. Anything I need to know?

[Sparkler1]

Comfy pants and paracetamol are at the ready. Just the removal of hair to be done now.

It is so on the tip of my tongue to crack some jokes like "it's going to be nothing compared to what I went through twice having our two dd's" but I mustn't!
I'm it's going to be very uncomfortable for him so I must try and be sympathetic.

[Sparkler1]

You are so cruel and I am being so nice. He is walking around in the most interesting position - quite amusing. Just got off your horse? rings a bell

[Gingeme]

You ladies are cruel. My dh went to his gp today to book an appt for his vascectomy . Hes got to be circumstised too cause his foreskin has grown too tight so hes not getting enough feeling when we and it goes limp.......poor man. yeah right.

[fortyplus]

Is he ok today?

Has he been a sensible boy & gone to bed with his pants on?

[fortyplus]

Gingeme... now that will hurt!

[Sparkler1]

Hi fortyplus!! LOL - He's ok thanks for asking.
He is starting to walk normally now - thank goodness. Feeling sore though. Dressing has to come off tonight, so that should be interesting.

[Gingeme]

Yes it will but I bet hell makes such a bloody fuss about it.He came back for his doocs with some sterooid cream to put on it twice a day. Aparantly it will thin the blood a bit so his foreskin will stretch a little more. Has he put any on? No ofcourse he hasnt And they wonder why its the women that take the pill....

[fortyplus]

Sparkler1 - I'll be interested to hear if he gets on ok - as I said, mine isn't brave enough yet! (He's nearly 47 the great big wuss, you think enough of his mates would've told him it was ok, wouldn't you?)

[fortyplus]

Gingeme - MEN!! Bloody ostriches, the lot of them!

[Sparkler1]

I think DH has handled it well - all things considered. They had problems finding the tube on one side so had to do a lot more pulling and prodding

[fortyplus]

Ewwwwwwwwww! I won't tell dh that bit! He's scared of needles, poor lamb

[Hassled]

What you need to know is that it's much much worse than childbirth and warrants hours of lying around being an annoying wuss. Also - when delivering semen samples for testing afterwards don't lob it through the hospital delivery box thingy so hard that the container cracks .

[Sparkler1]

pmsl Hassled. I shall be making sure of safe delivery of samples - I work the hospital so shall have to try and deliver without anyone noticing who I am

[Sparkler1]

right off to do my nursing duties now.
