    HTFU or what?

    Recovering from the snip. The lads are still feeling a beaten up. Need to head into Palmerston North to reunite my bro with his wallet that fell out of his pocket while driving me round. Should I take the cage or HTFU and take the bike?

    Will hardening the f*ck up be as painful as riding?

    Let the jewels recover as quick as possible so that you can enjoy the reward your missus is going to give you.

    While HTFU sounds all good n non metro n all that, only you can answer that one. I wont be feeling the pain you will be if you ride too soon.
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Depends on how bad the problem is.

    But - when I had mine done I had a lot of swelling and bleeding post-op. It didn't help that they'd yanked too hard on one of the vas and ripped my stomach wall in the process.

    And - I didn't take it easy, and it took a good six weeks to recover properly.

    With the benefit of personal experience and hindsight, I'd take the car.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Maybe. Maybe not. Seated it feels fine but the vibration could be an issue. Perhaps a trip around the block first

    You got nothing to prove right? It's only one ride...take the car and make sure you get back to being operational ASAP for the monkey dance (priorities, I say!)

    Ooh the unkindest cut of all! If they ain't feeling ginger, just do the right thing and go for a ride... But after reading one of the posts above do the right thing and take the cage

    Okay, so the cage is edging ahead as the most sensible option. Question is, am I? The answer is a boring yes! Looks like the cage will get a run this arvo. Might still go for a quick blat this evening though

    Look at it this way: are your hacky sacks worth gambling against? Me thinks not...


    Just like with any healing process, it is often how seriously you take it for a short amount of time which amounts to the best results in the long run.

    Ouchie!
    Reminds me of when I was doing veterinary surgery for MAF. We were vasectomising rams, and one of the scientists was a bit short sighted. He was tugging on what he thought was the vas ("Why is this thing so tough?"!?) until one of the technicians said, "Hey Rob - his pizzle keeps disappearing!" Yup, he was tugging on the wrong tube.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Advice from someone who did it....DON'T RIDE FOR AT LEAST A WEEK AFTER THE OP!!!!!

    Even if they feel okay, there can still be some internal healing going oin that needs rest and relaxation.

    P.S. Another bit of advice - DON'T RIDE WHEN YOU HAVE A PROLAPSED HAEMORROID....OWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

    Day after mine I drove from dvirke to northland with no probs. My op went quite smooth though. I like the courier post option though if you have any concerns.
