5 Day Post LBL Update - and an important detail for the guys

Hey Rob! Glad to see things are progressing. Have you tried ice for your gonad issue? I know it's recommended alot after vasectomies- grab a bag of frozen peas- it will "conform" to the swelling and may help!?! Sounds like you are doing great overall! Thanks for making us all laugh, even if it was at your expense!!

20 minutes every hour!

Hey Rob, glad to hear your doing ok, i have to ask if you do mind, since i think missed something...how does the lbl affect the balls, did you give them a lift as well?

I did not.  I could not tell you yet if anything has changed in that area as there is still too much swelling to tell.  I have been told to expect something "extra".  You know how they say to trim the bush to make the tree look taller - Imagine what removing some ground cover will do.

I was jus****ching "Red Dragon" with my mother.  At the end of the movie Hannibal Lecter says something in a letter to Will Graham that rang particularly poignant to me right now given the thought on my incisions.

"Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real".

Our scars are both emotional and physical, whether you have plastics or not.  BUt I think I will keep this one close at hand.  My Plastics Journey and the indelible marks that criss cross my body from it will be yet another tool in my toolbox for the future.

Well, first of all, I'm glad you are doing well, even with your personal issue. However, this thread had me ROFLMAO . It is a good thing I wasn't sipping on something or it would have ended up on the keyboard. I can only imaging how painful it is to laugh right now. Because of this, enjoy that pain ball while you can. (no pun intended)
