Should have gone private.

I normally need a lot of anaesthetic to have an affect

So you are telling us you have the pain threshold of a little girl, yeah?

when they cauterise the tube I tell them to give me more anasthetic or I’m getting off the table.

That was my favourite part - the smell of your own flesh burning

This is the problem, the pain threshold is high so normally I put up with it. Sometimes though, it’s a push to stay still

It’s the noise that does me in, just like a soldering iron heating up.

Dave!

I hate (too strong - lets go with "don't enjoy" instead) having my face numbed up for ages, so had an agreement with my last dentist that we'd try (smaller) fillings without any injection - most of them were OK. One wasn't.

I need a hernia operation and I'm considering going back to Colombia to get it done. Costs around $2,000USD privately and can be done immediately. Some of the hospitals and care are fantastic - that's from personal experience there back in 2019. NHS waiting lists are 6-12 months currently - which is 6-12 months of not lifting weights, limited exercise etc.

That's a sad indictment...

Nurse: - Hello Mr Gavin, the anaesthetist will be with your shortly...

Anaesthetist: Mr Gavin , Cómo estás - tell me my friend, how many lines you wan ?? 2 big fat ones of one long anaconda. take you to the moon!!!

It's a scary thing, avoiding it as long as I can. The missus is keen for me to get it though!

It’s a no brainier if your other half is still on birth control. Mine came off it and felt so much better we decided this is the way to go.

Also, having full permission for a nurse to give your balls a fiddle is no bad thing

Dave!

So what you're saying is, when it comes to your privates, go private?

[DeskJockey]

Had mine today and also needed a second shot of pain relief. Now sore.

I hope your testicles have an easy ride through these dark dark times.

You guys are not making me feel good about it! Wife keeps nagging me but..... hmmmm.

[Mito Man]

Sounds like she’s got you by the balls…

Is this where someone shouts "grow a pair?".

Honestly once the second dose went in it was fine. As you're a gent of above average proportions I would ask for a second dose from the start.

They do say to avoid heavy lifting and little feet in sensitive areas, so maybe wait until that's controllable?

So when the kids turn 18 then? Gotchya.

I guy I used to work with had 3 daughters within 2 school years because he and his wife were very fertile and... enthusiastic.

Upon arriving home after his vasectomy, they wanted to check everything still worked rather than following the advice of resting. It didn't go well. "Like a couple of grapefruit" was his discription.

Conversely, my vasectomy went smoothly, I only needed one dose of anasthetic and was chatting to the doctors as they worked.

I'll never forget the text I got from you describing your vasectomy! Put me off for years! The guy that did mine was old school (tied off, not cauterised), but we chatted about what laptop would suit him best during the procedure. Worst bit for me was having to go to the clinic a few weeks afterwards and "produce a sample" - empty room, no porn and no phone signal.
