Orchiectomy

Recommended Posts

?? I had my surgery today (orchiectomy). So far? Things went well. I have been so nervous about saying anything for fear something would happen and I not get it. But I did so am happy and relieved. As an added bonus we stopped at a gas station for rest room stop the clerk said are you looking for the restroom I said yes he said second door on the right, this was the women’s I would not have passed me but it sure made my day.?

Congratulations on reaching a milestone.  Do follow the post surgery instructions and it will be great.

congrats.  As someone who has had half a orchiectomy, I know what you are going through and the recovery time is at least short.  Well for me anyways my recovery was only 2 weeks.  But let me explain why I said that I have had half orchiectomy, I am a 11 year cancer survivor and I have had testicular cancer so I have only had 1 of the 2 removed.  This was mandatory for me since I was fighting cancer to get rid of the 1 infected one.  So as I tell people, I only have had half a orchiectomy

Congratulations Rachael.  Having had the same surgery i know that feeling of relief when it was finally in the past.  Due to heart problems i was always afraid it wouldn't be allowed. The healing was early quick.   Getting off of blockers has been great and the "look" of things down there has certainly improved.

 

Hugs,

Still a little sore but doing well. 

Charlize, I was worried they would not let me get the orchectomy as I have had blood clots and 3 stints put in. So far so good and being able to drop the spiro was a top priority. 

Thanks everyone?

      no. I don't really go for all that stuff   the only thing I do believe is to not mess with god's will too much- I mean, sure, if you're unhappy with your body, then I think you should change it to something that makes you happier   if, however, you.. I don't know, can't find a job for instance- I don't think you should push it. wait until it comes to you, because it will

      Good morning   @Ashley0616. So glad it wasn’t worse.  I did something similar when I was maybe 8. I was playing outside barefoot and stepped on a piece of broken glass. My mother zoomed into action when I told her.     @awkward-yet-sweet welcome back to the working world. Mental work is just as tiring as physical but both feel good.  It’s a different kind of tired when you wake up.   @Birdie what a beautiful young woman you were.   i made a pot since it’s Sunday. Last time for a while I’ll be grinding beans.  Somehow I messed up and bought already ground the last time.  I know I was in a bit of a rush at the time.  That just doesn’t pay.  Slow down and take the time to read the package.     at least we can use this up making single cups too.  We have a replacement for the pod holder that allows you to use ground coffee or tea leaves. I suppose herbs could be used if that’s your thing but it’s never been this girl’s.  (Like I said too conservative and goody two shoes)   Well here I sit in my sleep sweatshirt from Buc-ee’s while the dog is signaling she would like to go out.   i suppose I should finish up and get ready for the day.  And a nice one it will be. Mostly sunny high of 76.  I should go sit by the pool this afternoon.   Willow

      Neither up nor down, just being.

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.
