General Chat

Shall be thinking of you, and him of course. It is always scary facing a general, and any op in that area, male or female is not pleasant at all. I hope it won't be as bad as he thinks and that the after effects won't be as bad as you expect.
Mildreds advice is good, daughter was given that advice after having stitches with childbirth. :-)

Good luck to your man for today Liz.

One tip for him is after a shower, dry Percy using the cool setting of a hairdryer ;-)
Son had it done when he was 2 & that's what we were advised as it is gentler than rubbing with a towel!


Dont forget a comb :-D :-D :-D

Thinking of you Liz.
Women are much more accepting of the indignities we have to put up with.
There wouldn't be as big a population if men had the babies??
Do wish him well though...no medical procedure is nice..I have colonoscopy coming up again in about 3 weeks,don't like the prep...but suppose its best to get on with it!.

Hi Liz....aww poor man, how can you be so unsympathetic ....lol...l will be thinking of you both!!

Take care

hope all goes well xxx

I feel for you both Liz. My brother had the same op quite a few years ago when he was in his 60's.He walked as though he had been riding a horse for about a week, poor thing. As you said men would not be able to cope with childbirth would they. I feel for anyone having to have an op but my sympathies lie with you pet having to cope with a man in pain afterwards. I think you need to find a nice coffee shop to visit often next week .lol. wishing you both well. ;-) <3 <3

Thanks Sue


I know Maggie, I don't sound very sympathetic do I lol?

Your last comment, Liz :-D :-D

Sending kind thoughts

I hope so too lol Maggie. Yes, men are very precious about their bits. aren't they? I did mention to o.h. that years back I had to have an op that was as uncomfortable and also I have been through childbirth, something men would never do more than once I think lol

There was a problem on Embarrassing Bodies the other week, and I recorded it for him, didn't realise they showed the op etc. The chap said it was very painful afterwards, well that put o.h. in a frenzy of fear lol We have lots of paracetamol and ibuprofen handy, says on the paperwork to make sure you have purchased plenty of painkillers for afterwards. You would think they would provide the first few days worth!

It's a shame the op is today ( he had a choice of dates given him last week and he wanted the soonest to get it over with) - an ex colleague of his is having a 70th birthday bash tonight and we won't be able to go now. The chap will be disappointed as he and o.h got on well when working together until the man retired 5 yrs back.

I don't think o.h. will be riding his bike to work anytime soon either lol

Liz, let's hope he sleeps a lot. Grandson had to have something similar. It probably won't be as bad as he thinks, but we know men and 'that' area. They have no idea what women endure, do they?

positive thoughts for me and for my o.h.

He has to have a medical 'procedure' today at 12.30pm, won't be in hospital overnight unless things don't go so well but I will probably pick him up about 5pm. Suffice to say my name will be mud if I go over the slightest road hump or pothole on the way back! He will be sore and grumpy and has to have at least a week off depending how well he heals!

He has been very cagey about the op, not telling many people and thought at first he could go back to work on Monday, silly man.

He is absolutely terrified, he is having a general anaesthetic so will be a bit woozy when he comes back, am hoping he will sleep most of the evening.

If I say it's not a vasectomy but similar area and it's usually done when men are babies, you might guess what's happening.

Oh the next week is going to be a difficult one, guess who will be needing to go out on errands quite often just to get away lol
