I don't mind the no food thing but please don't anybody piss me off because I haven't had my coffee.

I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend... of a woman who kept them in a jar on the mantle and claimed they came from a boyfriend who crossed her.

The very best of luck, I hope all goes well and you feel better than ever soon! I so want mine gone. They keep slipping out of tuck into painful locations because I'm so active at work.

All the Best with your surgery! As for coffee, ask for a good 'Shot in the Dark' afterwards!

Earrings?  Nope, don't want to see them or know where they went other than hopefully an incinerator.

Actually very little pain so far.  Here's the great part about my urologist.  He actually called Dr. McGinn's office yesterday to discuss incision placement.  That's pretty impressive as far as I'm concerned.

I am about a month post op from my nut free surgery and was pleasantly surprised with how good it felt to have a sense of permanence and security.  No worries about medications, we're never going back and that feels pretty good huh?!!  It also gave me greater confidence for even considering further surgery.

It was challenging for me to stay down and keep the ice on but worth it for reducing pain and swelling.  I love crossing my legs now!

Congratulations and welcome to the nut free club. ;D ;D ;D

Update: It's 36 hours and I have had almost no pain.  He went up as high as possible for the cords and there is a slight pain in the left inguinal canal apparently where the cord is swelling but even that maximum pain level is a 3 on a 10 scale.

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts and wishes.  When I came out of the anesthesia and they asked if I wanted something to drink, I really did ask for coffee but they didn't have any or maybe wouldn't give me any. :D Coke for second choice for caffeine.  I got there about 8:30 and we were out a little after 1PM.  Stopped at Chik-fil-A for some sandwiches to go, ate lunch at home, GOT MY COFFEE, and watched some TV.   The worst part of the whole thing was Miss Dee driving home.  She scares me to death (could you back off to at least three feet off the rear of this semi?).   ;D

You should have brought a vacuum bottle full of the stuff. If I had known I would have sent you the air pot I have laying around here. I think it holds about 1/2 gallon and that should have held you until you made it home even with Miss Dee having a fender bender.
