I'm almost scared to ask.... But what happened?


Had a hernia op, thought why not get the snip at same time.

Ball bag has inflated like a hot air balloon and is trying to pull my guts out when I move.

Lurker Steve here. This month:

I blew up my BMW (bottom end).
I got fired. [emoji26]
I did my back on the long weekend (too much picking up small children incorrectly).
Next month cannot be worse.

Oh wait. Getting a vasectomy in two weeks. [emoji849] I'm praying it doesn't hurt.

I had a vasectomy 14 days ago and I’ve only just started walking. I spent 13 day/ nights on the couch and couldn’t sleep in my bed and I’ve still got a purple grapefruit between my legs

I also had a hernia removed but that caused almost no grief

I can’t overstate the importance of tight underwear, and NSAIDs if you swell up. Im using Panadol rapid 3x during the day and Celebrex morning and night.

I’m jealous of those who are fine 24-48hrs later. Good luck but next month might be worse

Oh no. That's not what i want to hear. [emoji43] Did something go wrong or is it just how it sometimes goes?
I've been told 5-7 day recovery max.

I'm glad to hear you're on the mend again.

Went to see surgeon on 7th day. He said I was just unlucky that I blew up but most of the pain was my fault for wearing loose underwear one day even if I only walked a short distance

I wasn’t sore for the first 48 hours but then each day got worse.by day 7 I was in tears to walk. I was sore cos of cracked skin from excessive swelling but most of the pain came from a ligament between my hip and leg tearing from the weight hanging off it.

It seems to be common to swell up but it’s usually pain free.

Ok... I'm hoping that's not me. My surgeon suggested I'll be able to get back on my bike within a week. Maybe I'll just push that back. Regarding underwear (sorry to lower the tone all), are normal briefs/y cuts ok or should i be getting something else?

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
