Started out fine until I dropped apiece of glass on my ankle. Bit of duct tape to hold it together until I could get to the drs and get 4 stitches this afternoon around 4. Then off to see specialist for a vasectomy at 6 tonight. First time I've ever had stitches twice in one day and quite sure I will remember this day fo years to come so sitting here in a world of pain trying to keep my mind off it. :-[

Good luck with the snippity snip mate.
When I had mine done, no word of a lie, the Dr was Dr Johnson so I thought I was in good hands. That was until he moved onto old righty and it started to hurt like a you know what when he put the clamp on. Obviously not enough anesthetic. recovery at teh day surgery went well, I even climbed into the 80 okay. But by the time I got home the local anesthetic had worn off and it was murder to get out of the 80...................OUCH!!!

I cut the main artery in my wrist when I was a young fella along with all muscles and all tendons. Over 200 stitches to repair it along with a blood transfusion. Still didn't work needed another operation at hand hospital in Sydney to get it all working agin properly and a cast bending my wrist back to stretch tendons for 12 weeks. My injury list is huge to many broken bones stitches etc. So this situation is not that uncommon it's just been few years.

Pan adenine forte and a bag of peas
Eddy

dont ever accept Prodeine forte, thats the chemists own brand, doesnt work as well..
if u get anotehr packet ask the chemist for Codelgin Forte.. it used to be aussie made and I think a little stronger. its also cheaper if u are paying full price.
those threee are on the same script, the doc wont care its a choice of the chemist and you.

I don't know how it can be as it is the same ingredients which is 30 mg Codine and 500 Paracetamol. There are plenty of brands that do the same things and it is unlikely that they are any different in any way, just cheaper.
-
I was on them for 18 years, only just gone onto something different in the last couple of weeks.
I started on panadeine forte, and when the patent expired, the chemist put me on prodiene forte and it didnt hold the pain off.
eventually I tried codalgin forte and it stopped the pain..
I ahve told other ppl about it and now they only have codalgin forte, they noticed the same thing..
dont ask me how it works as they are suppose to be the same ingredients like u said but the codalgin forte worked better for me and them.

Yes, I hear you re chronic pain. I use Endone for a certain condition (Head aches) I have, along with Oxycontin if it goes on too long. Have a look at that and you will see I know what chronic pain is. I'm glad the new brand works just funny that is is the same as all the others but you get a different result, it's good though and the longer you can stay on less strong pain killers the better, have you tried Tramadol? I don't use the narcotics much as they suck but do there job. I don't use Panadine Forte any more as they are too weak but they are a good pain relief drug I agree.

Had a mate who had a vasectomy many years ago and he was bragging about how well he was coping a day later. He reckoned he could handle a round of golf.
Another mate of mine bounced a golf ball in in front of him.
The brave bugger with the vasectomy did more injury to himself protecting the jewels from the bouncing golf ball than what discomfort the golf ball would have done.
I laughed so hard, I had tears rolling down my face.

you guys talking of getting the snip
are scaring me ................!!

Ed
Hope it all looks up from here
Al, hope your wife is improving
Funniest thing is seeing three blokes in a waiting room with bag of peas, I went the no scalpel no stitch route and was all good..
The dr was great afterwards he says that it needs to cycle a 100 times to ensure any left overs are gone. I said could you wait till swmbo was here. :angel:
He replied why doesn't your hand work

Don't feel as bad as I thought I would this morning so all is well wonder what I could get done on the cruiser?

Best of luck for a speedy recovery for all.

Thanks for all your kind words and thoughts people. Got to bring her back home today, which was great. After they did extra blood tests and a heart scan they determined the heart was good and put it down to wiring issue and the message going to the heart was a bit jumbled possibly due to the op. We all know how electronics can be a convoluted and contentious issue so we have to go back to the Cardiologist in a few weeks time and do more test, stress echo test etc and see what comes of it all.
For now she is a sore girl from the op and be bed bound for a few days yet

That's about it BigJules.
The Stress Echo Test will be interest. Hope they have an alternative to the treadmill for those with mobility issues. Anything more then a slow walk will have Jan and walking stick going like Fuji's cordial, all over the place.

Hey Al
When l went through the cardio rehab those who could not use the tread mill used a hand pedal machine
they push you pretty hard on the stress test but you can stop when ever you feel you have had enough

I don't know how it can be as it is the same ingredients which is 30 mg Codine and 500 Paracetamol. There are plenty of brands that do the same things and it is unlikely that they are any different in any way, just cheaper.
If you compare the weight of the active ingredients to the weight of the tablet you will see most of the contents are "inert". The companies claim to use size, shape and other stuff to enhance the absorption/effectiveness of their product. I have found that some of the generic products that should be the same have adverse side effects on me.
What I am saying is that what is supposed to inert may not be.
Take care

you guys talking of getting the snip
are scaring me ................!!
Had mine done inNorth Brisbane by a guy who was supposed to have done the first in Australia (done at least 30,000). Couldn't drive after, so caught a bus to Brisbane then a train to Corinda, caught a taxi the 1 kilometre to home because I was in no state to walk 8) ;D
I do remember that there was requirement for minimum performance to ensure the operation was a success >:D
-
So after some complications I am laying here in hospital with a massive blood clot and waiting to see if they are going to drain it or if it will disperse itself. Would not recommend it to anybody . Hoping I am better for fiji in 2 weeks.

Well eddy, I read through the post and I have had a referral on my desk for 6 months as I've been putting it off. After that last post it ain't gonna happen.

PS mate I hope you get better soon

Make sure that you compare this option with the consequences of not having it. Personally despite the immediate pain (>20 years ago) I think it was worth it :cheers:

I reckon all these blokes that say it is easy are just setting you up. Lol. It's certainly not something to put on your bucket list.

Yes but it may be on SWMBO's bucket list

There was an upside for me when I got the snip, and that was having to "use" it everyday for a month after it healed. I'm not sure what the actual run-in procedure was suppose to be, but that's what I told the doctor to tell me in front of my wife!
And was it just me, or the first time you used it in anger did you have that split second thought, just before the crucial moment, where you imagined yourself in 5 seconds time curled up into a fetal postion whilst holding your nuts, and screaming in pain like a girl?
-
Very important do select the right surgeon for this.
My brother and I were done at about the same time, by 2 different surgeons.
He suffered greatly. I didn't. Similar reports from others that used them.
Ask around first.......
-
Swannie O'l mate...
I like you had a referal letter from our doc for the snip, it sat under the magnet on the fridge door for the best part of a year before it migrated to the bottom of the stationary drawer..............Fast forward 15 years and we welcomed our second child into the world .....what a christmas present she was 5 years ago ... OOhh well 5 down 15 to go till retirement ..
got the old milker booked into the vet after that, yeah a bit too late but hey ...No bastards going near me privates with a knife ...
-
My son was an only child for 11 years. When the missus suggested it was time for me to get a vasectomy, I suggested it was time for another child. Shortly after that our daughter arrived.
Glad I won that argument. Love my daughter to bits. Oh and my son too!
-
The surgeon is apparently very good think I was just unlucky.i have put it off for 11 years. I reckon you maybe just shouldn't mess with nature.
-
No good mate, take it easy
-
No good mate, take it easy
Ta mate. How is your Mrs feeling now?
-
Apart from have a sore stomach from having a mass of adhesions cut apart so what is supposed to be in the stomach free to move again, the heart thing is all good for now, back to the cardiologist and the specialist later this month.
-
meh, the snip is a simple procedure and relatively painless.........way less risk of complication than putting your wife through a procedure performed inside her abdomen and one that carries a risk of ectopic pregnancy as one of its post procedure complications.
All surgery has a risk........when the risk is balanced objectively I for one would not risk my wife's health for such childish notions as not having another guy handle my junk, or somehow being less of a man cos its shooting blanks etc.
She delivered me 4 healthy kids, the least I could do was endure a minor procedure.
V8100 hope you are on the mend soon, you are one of the minority that do get a complication........small consolation I know
Al glad to hear that Jan is ok mate.

Thanks GanG

If I understand this correctly, you guys are actually having sexual intercourse after you have had children?
My wife just popped out #3 and after nine months of morning sickness, according to this thread, there is light at the end of the tunnel (not hers)...

Eddy
-
Yeah standard practise. Kick em out before they complain about the food

You guys may have inspired me, so thought I should do a bit of reading.

For Swannie,
Mate if you put it off and 1, yes just ONE of your little men sneak through and get a conversion, how quick do you reckon you'll be dragged kicking and screaming to get it done anyway??? ;)
Now's a good time of year to get it done. You can try and schedule it around a full weekend's recovery in front of the telly watching footy finals, Bathurst, or the upcoming cricket. ;D (if any of these things float ya boat)
I was a bit apprehensive, but it wasn't that bad at all.
Paulo
-
So I reckon I have put a few off this op but in reality it is something like a 1 in 5000 chance of happening so really I would do it all again. I am feeling a lot better now and will have the drain out in a couple of days.
Eddy

...lol ... pic's or it didnt happen
nah .. just kidding , just had to pick a really odd thread to put that line in

If it wasn't a family friendly site I would think about it

Had the snip about 18 months ago. The worst part for me was the itching when the stubble was growing back
