Yeah, I get strange aches in the area. Exactly as you said, its while the brain rewires.
Despite the pain at the time, and the thought of such an op on that most delicate of areas, its not really been too much of an issue since. Everything works just fine!
After a few beers, someone would mistake it for a pickled onion....... :eek:Quote:

:grin: :grin:
Well, ADS, if your kid really wants something to display, you could just give him an oyster in a jar of vodka. Heck, in a pinch, perhaps you could even substitute a raisin for the oyster. :)
A raisin... hmmm. Maybe a prune. They are dried plums after all :p
I dont know if plums is just slang here, so, perhaps Roger Mellie can help:-

Great link ADS! Back in 1973 when I was about to be drafted into the U.S. Army (a whole story by itself) I reported for my pre-induction physical along with lots of old classmates, etc. So, here we are, a bunch of guys standing in a circle wearing only underwear and paper slippers while an Army doctor gives us the traditional two fingers up the inguinal canal turn your head and cough routine. When he got to the guy next to me, he did the usual and then a double-take.
"So," the doctor asked, "How long have you only had one testicle?" Even though this was a congenital defect, my friend looked down at the doctor's hand and yelled, "Holy Cow! It was there a minute ago! Give it back you son of a B***h!"
Anyway, I don't mean to make light of the pain you've suffered. Well, a bit perhaps. Still you should remember that Lance Armstrong is a cancer survivor (Including testicular cancer) who has won the Tour de France more than any other cyclist, and untill recently was sleeping with Sheryl Crow. So, what's one cojone more or less?
I had two young lads who thought it was "really cool" Dad was having a part removed. They had visions of hacksaws, electric drills, Van Der Graph generators and mad scientists. Embarrasment or feeling sorry for myself was impossible!
Do I get to sleep with Sheryl Crow now? :p
I too, have had the misfortune of passing stones. I've had more than my share of injuries but passing a stone is the worst pain I have ever had. I talked to a nurse who had had four children and passed kidney stones. She said she would take childbirth over passing a stone anyday.
The first time I passed one, I had no idea what was going on and was living alone. At 4am the pain was so bad, I dragged myself to my van, drove 10 miles to the hospital. I fell out of the van in the parking lot and was crawling to the emergency room door when two nurses just getting off work walked right by me and didn't even stop to help.
I guess they were accustomed to seeing drunks and addicts doing the low crawl and thought that I was just another wino or something.
I've passed three since then.
el squid, I hope it is the last one you ever pass.
Well, ADS, I don't know about sleeping with Sheryl, but I'll be happy to ask her in the morning after she's had her coffee.
Just heard from my doctor's office, to inform me that the CT scan found two more "non-obstructing calcifications" in my left kidney. So, it's off to the Urologist next Monday. Whopee! I hope they give me some good drugs and take those puppies out, before they decide to come out on their own. ;)
What a kick in the butt after what you went through.
Wish you the best. Those calcified B***urds!!!!!
Urinary catheters are not a Blessing.Hope they don't
take you down that route.

I'll spare you the horror story of my last Urological surgery and the urinary catheter I drug around for a week. I'll just say, thank God for good drugs and the good doctors who prescribe them by the cart load. :p
