Offline Through The WeekendWhy, you ask? Because I fallen into a few hundred dollars (my in-laws got some money from a sale of some property) so instead of buying something fun and stupid with the money, I'm going to go get snipped. If you need me, I'll be on my couch with a Pepsi in one hand, the remote in the other, and ice on my crotch. Update on 1/15: It's all over. Read the comments for my little report.

Things will be much more spontaneous and exciting now! Go get a couple bags of frozen peas. Works great for your situation. Oh, and... don't worry. You'll be fine. :-) Wyrd said on 01/13/05 @ 06:20 PM: Good job. Most men are too big of pussies to bite the bullet and get that done. My dad did it, he said it hurt more than he expected, or more than he was told it would. zenwanderer said on 01/13/05 @ 08:17 PM: A Pepsi in one hand and a bag of forozen peas in the other..... Jake said on 01/13/05 @ 10:52 PM: Val: That's the hope ;-) Wyrd: I'm amazed the amount of men who are so hung up about this. Personally, I know it's a devistating procedure to sterilize a woman, and we're comfortable with our family size. I know a couple coworkers, as a matter of fact, whose husbands refuse to do it because they're hung up about losing masculinity or some crap. Then they force their wives to get fixed. A**holes... Zen: The remote ain't leaving my hand...the ice will be strapped to me :) Jon's wife said on 01/14/05 @ 06:44 AM: Will you convice Jon it's not too bad? Please?!!!! I think my hairdresser scarred him a few years ago and he *did* go to a consultation a few years ago, but DIDN'T go through with the procedure when we would have just paid a $15 copay. A year ago, he said he'd do it, but we had changed insurance and they DO NOT cover it, so it would be $954. :( Men do not fully understand the hormonal crap we go through (and still are 3 1/2 yrs after last baby). I'm glad you're one of the good ones and are having it done without too much complaint. Good luck! Meridee said on 01/14/05 @ 06:48 AM: So... are you going to mix anything with the Pepsi, Jake? We're proud of you! Tony said on 01/14/05 @ 07:17 AM: Best damn choice you can make. Just hope that you get a really nice, good looking nurse for the final soapy warm washing. It's the last "good" feeling that yuo will have for the day. And it really get ruined if get a person who lacks a gental touch... Most Doctors are so insensitive.. Good luck. yoleen said on 01/14/05 @ 10:29 AM: Congrats on a wise decision, Jake. The last time I visited a new physician, the questionnaire I had to fill out asked "form of birth contro." I wrote "spay/neuter." Now you can, too, but I think they only ask that question of women. Hey, it looks like MANties would have the fit to hold that bag of peas in place for you. Angie said on 01/15/05 @ 05:04 AM: According to same guys I know who have had it done already --- EVERYTHING is connected!! Meaning, laughing will hurt, crying will hurt, smiling even! Okay okay ... I'll be nice. Can you blame me for having a slightly warped humor when it comes to this? I mean with all us women have to go thru, its funny to see men finally have to go thru something. Okay, not funny. I'll shut up now. :) Jake said on 01/15/05 @ 01:26 PM: Jon's Wife: It's only $450 if you go through planned parenthood. I was sore the first day, but am fine now (and have an excuse to be lazy all day). Meridee: Nope, just straight for me. Not much of a drinker :) Tony: Since I had it done at a cheaper place, I didn't get the nice wash down. I just got the "Here's your snip, now get out" version ;) yoleen: I'll have my wife put that on stuff she fills out..."neutered husband". Ang: Enough ice and advil make everything feel happy :) Regardless, I'm up and around a bit, the day after. It was quick, and only really hurt yesterday, but today I'm fine. Still relaxing as much as possible, doing as little as possible, but I needed to get online for a few minutes -- you know, get my fix ;-) Back to normal blogging on Monday. Wyrd said on 01/15/05 @ 02:02 PM: Jake, I had my tubes tied after my last child, it hurt like hell! Took me a while to recover too, much worse than the childbirth. Glad you are doing ok buddy. Barney said on 01/15/05 @ 02:30 PM: Glad it went well, my friend. And please, don't share the scar;-) jxhndxe said on 01/16/05 @ 02:15 AM: I was snipped about 5 years ago, when our only son was 3. After a year of contemplation, we decided it was time (we were quite happy with having only one child). It was quick and painless, and insurance covered it. Much better than my wife being on the pill. Of course...we've just been recently separated...so if this ends in divorce, and I eventually find another, I only hope she doesn't want children! I wouldn't want any more regardless, so... Hey, thanks for the blog! Trystan Shout said on 01/16/05 @ 02:32 PM: Men who flat out won't have a vasectomy are selfish oafs. Most of us with room temperature IQs know that It's no longer just "the woman's responsibility" to worry about birth control. No, these guys who won't get it done are worried about having more babies. They gotta do their part to help (over)populate the world. They want to have a new baby with the next wife - and the one after that. They want to prove that they "still got it." Jake, you are a REAL man - and quite savvy for someone your age. Emily said on 01/16/05 @ 04:24 PM: I can't believe you are already done making your family before I've even started!!! Gotta admit, I'm a little jealous, but don't tell Stephen :) Angie said on 01/16/05 @ 05:21 PM: Happy to hear it all went well. :) Scott said on 01/17/05 @ 08:00 PM: You've got guts buddy! Don't think I could muster up enough nerve to do it my self. Besides, the wife says that she isn't ready yet! Yeah! Post a comment |
