Got the big "snip snip" yesterday. The procedure wasn't too bad. They prescribed me a valium to take an hour beforehand to help me relax. It was a no needle, no incision procedure, which has a quicker recovery time. Doctor was quite cool and we talked about metal music and concerts during the procedure. He said he saw the Stones in the Aragon ballroom (5000 capacity venue), which is pretty awesome.
Numbing was delivered by an air blast of lidocaine, which felt like a few flicks to the beanbag. Unpleasant, but not painful like a few jabs with a needle down there. Procedure felt weird...no pain, but pressure as he worked and manuvered and held various parts of my anatomy. Plenty of swelling afterwards, which was weird to see and feel. Pain is manageable with some norco and tons of icing, but still slightly uncomfortable if I move a lot. Today is day 2 of being on the couch, so hopefully by tonight or tomorrow I'll be back to normal.
