I guess I am supposed to be in pain right now? But I'm not? I really think this is a case of too many men being whiny bitches. I am doing fine, thanks.

Got up yesterday honestly feeling mostly apathetic to what lie ahead for me for the day. I was up at 4:30, needed to leave at 7:30. I got up, did my normal morning stuff, watched Sunday night shows, woke B up at 7:10 and headed over to Kaiser at 7:30 on the dot. I was upstairs waiting to be checked in at 7:40. 7:45am all 'paperwork' was done and I was ready for my 8am surgery. I use paperwork in quotes because they really do it all electronically at Kaiser. Yeah because I have spent the last 10 years making them focus on their damn data! Go me. 7:55am they called me, took me to a room, went over things one more time, blood pressure check, vitals check, undress, lay down, and the nurse then spent a few minutes strategically placing things. What was I doing? Watching The Orville on my tablet. Before she did anything by the way, she asked twice if I already had children and if I was sure I wanted to do this. Yep, I am sure, let's keep going.

8:02, doctor comes in, introduces himself and his assistant. We make a couple of minutes of small talk and then HE asks me, do you have children, are you sure you want to do this. My response was "I had one 25 years ago, if I haven't had once since, I am probably pretty damn sure." His response was 'yeah, you've had some time to think about this '. Also said to both him and the nurse "my self worth is not wrapped up in my genitalia or my ability to procreate". They both appreciated that and got cracking. He explained a couple of things and I told him the headphones were going back on, tap me on the head if you need anything because I can't hear ya. Anesthetic inserted left side, work work work, 8 minutes later anesthetic other side, work work work, 7 minutes after that, done. How do I know the times? Was watching a tv show. I knew how long everything was. Good episode once again. Loving that show. It got renewed for a second season already which is great.

Anyway, finished up, got dressed, escorted out with an ice pack down my pants. Got home and B tried her best to make me 'bed rest'. I did good for a while. I took two Norco (they gave me 15) which did cause me to take a nap eventually. I slept from about 11:30 to 1. They told me the anesthesia would wear off around 10 and I should take pills before hand. Okay. I took two to be safe. When I woke up, I checked things out. Got rid of the 'packing material' they had used. All looked good. No major swelling, no real problems. I sat back on the couch. I did my best sitting until about 4. I was done at that point. I got restless. I wrapped some Christmas presents and started moving. I am not going to violate the no lifting part or the showering part (can't shower until this afternoon, can't lift anything over 10 lbs for like a week). But the sitting in one spot part? Nope. I am done with that shit.

In work news, I confirmed and booked TN. I leave 11/26 through 12/1. There's my much needed final trip for the year. I will have another year of Platinum access. Boom baby. Other than that, I caught up on some emails, responded to some stuff from random clients, and played with a beta of some software. That's mostly the plan for today as well. Write a blog post up, keep it light.

On the phone front, I have definitely narrowed it down to WiFi related issues. Once again, went to bed at 10:30 and got up just now at 5 and lost 6% while on data only. I have it set for WiFi currently and am going to test loss for the next 5 hours. I am at 93%. If I go down more then 6% something is fucking wrong with a runaway app and I need to figure out which one. Annoying as hell.

So that's my big adventure in having a vasectomy. I will be officially sterile in 4 months or roughly 30 ejaculations. Which ever comes first. No big deal, no trauma. Just another day.
