"Ow" But "Yay!"

Seriously, my scheduled bilateral orchiectomy ("orchi") with Dr. Tuan Nguyen was accomplished on August 17th. And, the surgery went well, and essentially to plan.

I wasn't fully anesthetized for my surgery; my orchi instead was accomplished under a local anesthetic. Even now, post-surgery, the experience is far less painful than that dry-socket I experienced at the removal of a molar a number of months back.
