The Vasectomy through Pictures

**To get caught up with our ongoing vasec­tomy story please click over to part one and part two.

Today’s post will conc­lude this series… told through pictures.

An actor has been brought in to play Hubby. I took liber­ties That actor had the free­dom to inter­pert that day’s events as she saw fit.**

V-Day sho­wed up last Fri­day. Smi­ling Mom and Hubby both took the day off work to head over to the uro­logy depart­ment down at Kaiser.

Smi­ling Mom offe­red Hubby some ibu­pro­fen before the surgery.

Hubby gave me a stern look and said no. I have no idea why!

We hea­ded over to the uro­logy depart­ment and wai­ted for Dr. Snip-Snip to come take Hubby away.

OK, so maybe it was more like this, but really-whose story is it anyway!

Hubby was in and out of the pro­ce­dure in a measly 35 minu­tes and was ready to go home.

The doc­tor said sit on your butt, and relax for 24–36 hours and make sure to ice your wounds every 20 minu­tes for the first 24 hours.

So he did. Hehe.

All the while, Hubby ten­ta­ti­vely exc­lai­med, “It’s not that bad… I thought this would hurt worse…”

And I thought, “Phew! I won’t be gro­ve­ling after paying for this vasec­tomy FOREVER!!”

Then I began to read up on the post-operative requi­re­ments for vasec­to­mies; a man has to, ahem, ‘get rid’ of his little sper­mies 24 times in 6 weeks before the pro­ce­dure can be dee­med complete.

After doing the math

And rea­li­zing what that means for me… I felt the need to borrow Hubby’s cold compress.

So at this point my post has to come to an abrupt end.… Hubby’s calling.

    Found your link in Mrs. Flinger’s comments–too funny. And I didn’t know that about the “post sur­gery” stuff!! Good grief! Hmm, but maybe that will con­vince my hus­band to go get it taken care of.
