Orchiectomy cost and concerns

[Devlyn]

Another "lucky" for me, needles just don't bother me. As I said earlier, if they would let me I would get pillows to prop up my head so I could watch. 

So Devlyn, two days now, how are feeling? Getting more comfortable I hope. Swelling going down? Hoping for a quick, easy recovery for you. Keep us informed on progress and changes please.

Two days out and pain isn't an issue. I haven't taken Tylenol today and probably won't. Here's what it looks like at two days.

That's interesting. Other photos I've seen had worse bruising than that, almost black actually but not nearly as far out on the hips or high up on the belly, much more central to where the "work" was done. Also doesn't appear to be any "baseballs" as you described the swelling so that's a big plus. 16 days from this morning is my turn so I am quite curious about all the after effects that I will have to look foreword to. Thanks for posting.

The swelling is slowly easing. Under the bikini I am nearly black and it has spread up the whole penis with the exception of the head. There is an "S" curve in the penis, presumably from everything being pulled tight by the swelling. Peeing works normally so I'm not concerned about that right now. Waiting to return to my new normal size and colouration!

Hugs, Devlyn

I never seen or heard of anybody getting that type of bruising after GCS. The markings on my body were minimal even though there was a fair amount of swelling. They must have put up quite a fight and weren't willing to go willingly.

I think the surgeon put his foot there and pulled them out. "Scalpel? We don't need no steenking scalpel"

I  need to rephrase that.

"I'm not interested in a vagina...on me."

I'd still take a look at one.  [emoji23]

Hugs, Devlyn

OMG Devyl n I was thinking something similar.. My though was the doctor must have stood on your hips, Planted his feet in taking his stance before taking his tee shot. Foorrrre ! LMAO Wonder if he made the greens.

Oh geez, that's painful just thinking about it. Yep, no doubt at all . . . I will be wide awake for mine.

Congrats Devlyn!  I didn't realize how much bruising there would be.

I don't think I was doing the proper mental math on the connections between testicles and body. Turns out they don't come out like a pair of Clackers and you just cut the strings!

Thanks, Christine! Honestly, I wasn't expecting this much bruising either. But that's why I'm documenting it, so the next person knows what to expect.

This is no time for logical logic, we're talking about my balls, and their undisclosed location!

Your Welcome Devlyn. A little bruising doesn't keep a bad girl  like You down that's for sure. 

[Karrie]

Devlyn holy cow girl. I had the right removed yrs ago and had no bruising at all.
I wish you a speedy total recovery !

Karrie

[Devlyn]

Thanks, Karrie! I'm scheduled to resume work tomorrow and I don't see any reason I can't. Well, other than being in desperate need of a shower and this afternoon will make 72 hours from surgery, so I'll be draining that hot water heater!

Eyes wide open for me, don't want no football, no golf and no billiards goin on. Yikes! 

[Devlyn]

That's why the thread is here. I had no idea what to expect going in. If someone else gains insight from this it's all good.

Um . . . Possibly a garbage disposal and the city sewer system? A fitting end to something so repulsive don't ya think? 

15 days, 360 hours and mine will see the same fate but I'm not really counting or anxious. 

[Devlyn]

I'm thinking a medical waste incinerator....well done!
