My male member has shrunk to an inch or less. I was concerned about the same thing but my surgeon assured me there is plenty of skin for the full depth procedure.

Yes, shrinkage is setting in. It's like it's un-circumcising itself. I usually have to unfurl things before I pee.

When I had my orchiectomy I asked Dr Oates about the potential downside to an orchiectomy in regards to future vaginoplasty (more as an information gathering exercise for the community; I didn't and still don't want to proceed any further than the orchiectomy) and he responded that the tissues down there are extremely elastic and would not pose any issues with future surgeries.

I was home early yesterday as stuck for jobs after laying up some more fibre glass, have to trim it this morning. Bought some asparagus last week and thought I would try cooking it like the program I watched, wrapped in bacon and fried. It was okay but I have not eaten any before that I can remember, will try a different way with the rest.
 Rain over night, freshened things up nicely. Hope it makes my lettuce grow. 

Nothing cuts you more than a blunt knife (due to it slipping), I have some Sabatier knives but you have to keep them sharp. I use a tool with a deburring stone, sharpener and hone in 3 slots that is a lot safer to use. My thumb still has a patch from slicing it on the Mandolin as well ! Worse thing I find is pealing a butternut squash or pumpkin/gourd, very tough skin. Slicing I have nicked my nails doing the cheffy thing of holding with finger tips and running the blade down fingers . TBH I find it more dangerous cooking than working in my workshop with grinders, metal shears and welders!!

Absolutely resounding NO, NO, NO.

The older I get the more I want the surgery and closer and closer I get to not getting it. And the harder it gets to live without it.....
