Just a wee update for those 'considering it'.
5 weeks post butchering !
It's not always straight forward.
Doctors are very economical about the truth !
Was off the bike for 4 weeks, mainly as the 'wound' hadn't healed - took two weeks of antibacterial tablets (post op prescribed) a week of antibiotic cream, and finally horse antibiotics (well they were huge), only then did the wound scab over (not nicely knit together). Been on the bike now just over a week (gingerly).
The severed blood vessel is causing me agony - can 'feel' it and it's like a hard line running under the skin, and it runs into the perenium area which is sore. Add to that constant 'ball ache'.
Been sleeping on the couch as I've been so uncomfortable - it's working well as a contraceptive, but not in the right way
Fortunately, riding the bike isn't too uncomfy, but sitting on a chair is !
I'll update on Friday, as I'm off to the Docs to try and get put on the waiting list for an ultrasound to be done as I'm not a happy bunny ! Just hope I haven't got this Pain Syndrome thing !
Balls !
