Yes I did feel it as well, at which point they put another needle in .

Exactly. But they do one side at a time, of course. And they made the same error again.
So, four jabs instead of two, plus the scalpel edge tests. I was an airman then, and this was a naval hospital. The second edge test made me jump enough to kick the Surgeon Commander, to which he replied, "Never knew you f**kin crabs were so sensitive..."
Eventually they got it done, and I drove home from Plymouth to Camborne.

Yes 2-3 weeks and all pretty straight forward.
May I wish you many future journeys to the terminus

My brother recovered too well from his vasectomy and fathered a 4th child. Apparently it does happen from time to time.
But the consultant accused my brother's wife, to her face, of playing away from home - the evidence being that his count had previosuly dropped to zero.
A quick sample and recount - and whoops, no longer zero.
So back under the knife for him

Very straightforward.
Get some supportive underwear and paracetamol or equivalent, to take the edge of the ache.

Done around '92 - one incision went septic so I had it cauterised by what looked like a non-sparkly sparkler.

Had mine at RAF Hospital Ely.
There where bats flapping around in the light shrouds in the theatre !!!!!!
I pointed it out to the surgeon .... "yes, their protected” .. "sealed from the theatre though” ....
Not funny ....
6 weeks later I took my sample to the medical centre at RAF Honnington ... I was met at the door by a female medic younger than than the motorbike boots i was wearing !!!!
She smiled, in her dressing gown, .... it was early in the day ....... Passed over the container in a paper bag ....

The pre-op leaflet from the hospital told me to expect a couple of days of mild discomfort.
This was correct as far as it went. What it didn't say was that on day three the mild discomfort would be replaced by screaming agony.
As I lay on my deathbed I wrote out a codicil to my will leaving my body to medical science, except for lefty, which was to be given to the rugby club.

Had my snip in 1984 I think. All went well, fortunately, and I was back running if I remember rightly after about a week. Two mates asked for advice on having the snip because they were worried about the after effects. I told them it was no big deal and consequently they both had it done. Both then had bad experiences. One had a nasty infection after the op that made his testicles swell and the other one had problems during the op when the anaesthetic began to wear off. I should have kept my mouth shut 🤐

My job was done 40 years ago but the memory lingers. About three weeks total recovery, with the first week spent with a polish on the clock weights to rival snooker balls. Black snooker balls.
