Just try not to work in the garage this weekend.

It's easy - I did feel some pulling and tugging during the procedure, but other than that it went well.

Frozen peas, don't lift anything for the period they tell you. Hope your kids don't head-butt you in the balls (mine did!).

Pearl onions, when frozen, stay colder. Longer.

My Dr. also insisted that I get a jock strap, much better parts support post surgery.

It worked.

Don't be.  It's a minimally invasive non-event.  I've had a worse time getting a tooth capped.

Good luck anyway!

Seriously.  I was amazed at what a non event it was.  I still look fondly on the recovery day I had on the couch playing video games with the cat while keeping things iced.

Move slowly and deliberately, a quick movement in the wrong direction may be agonizing.

Since you'll really want to just take it really easy we expect:

1. Lots of comments to other's threads
2. Links to cars for sale on Facebook and Craigslist
3. Helpful advice on GMT400 trucks (I'm hauling my beater home on Sunday)
4. Absolutely no garage/car updates beyond maybe some hypothetical whiteboarding of future work.

When the doc says "Oops Whoa!" just relax he probably just nicked a vein.   They bleed like the dickens.   Same with the smell of smoking vas deferens, it's the tripple seal that really does the trick, a simple snip and tie is not enough to stop nature.

Just seeing this thread now, so maybe I'm weighing in a little late. 

Anyhow .. funny story on my side.  The practice that did mine suggested that I get a jockstrap for support and a bag of frozen peas or corn for convenient swelling control before I had the procedure, so I did.  Picked them up at Wallyworld in fact.  Came up to the checkout (no automated lanes in those days), and the (male) cashier looked at the two items I had and started smirking .... "I'll bet you $10 I know where you're headed!" he says!  Yup ... buy those two items by themselves, and there's a fighting chance somebody who sees you doing so will understand what you're up to!

Procedure went well, but I could have done without having to smell the burning flesh that akyledoz notes above !!!

Don't mess with the opiates. Just don't. 

You'll probably feel ok by about mid day today. Sit the berkeley down. That's how you hurt yourself. Find some car shows to watch.

I have tge deadspace series loaded and ready to go.

Laptop next to me for challenge paperwork. 

I ain't touching the opiates. They never did anything for my until they were aggressively abused, and i aint going back down that road.....

However, im finding it difficult NOT to spend money on cheap stuff for ideas. Craigslist, ebay, and Facebook should probably be taken away for the next few days.....

Day 2: keep the tight underwear on. Peas are being constantly rotated. 

The boys don't hurt so much todat, as the area above the pills to my belly button. No bleeding or swelling like the dr said there would be. 

Not fun, but better than the ankle reconstruction i had!

Great games, but not exactly relaxation material, the 2nd game especially is pretty stressful. At least take some time to read all the story material you run across, it's good stuff and will give you some time to unclench between the brutal fights against alien zombies.

I played through the first, started the second, and then got hooked on American horror story while doing challenge paperwork. But yes, i do read every bit of the backstory stuff i find. Love it.
