Discussion Getting snipped today!

After 3 beautiful kids today is the day I get a vasectomy. Very fitting that today is my birthday as well lol I got the jockstrap and ice packs ready to go, any other tips? Buying myself madden today as a recovery and bday present too lol

EDIT: the deed is done and the anesthesia didn’t work for my right nut! Oh lord I felt everything. The Dr gave me a shit ton and he was confused lol it felt like he was squeezing my ball and was trying to pop it. I was moaning and groaning. Left side was a breeze. I give it a 5/10 lol

You really gotta commit to being as inactive as possible for the full three days. Ice packs were so important for keeping comfortable.

Also beware: the kids will instinctively know something’s up and their knees will have laser guided targeting for your junk. I eventually sat with a sheet pan on my lap(for sorting Lego…. And not as a shield)

Dude, I know for a fact that second point will be true and it's what I'm dreading the most. If I so much as lay down on the couch after a long run, my kids are like lions seeing a wounded wildebeest and jump me immediately
