#Closed
I got my [[vasectomy]] resversed on [[2022-07-26]]. The process required [[General anesthesia]]. The standard reversal was used and sperm were found in the vas defrens. Hoping it helps with [[fertility]] and [[pain]].
Dr. Grober did it at the Cumberland Clinic. He was great in person. His assistant was not great over email.
Not sure if it was successful.

## Questions and answers
Q. Can I sleep on side?
A. Google says maybe but seems like best is not.
Q. What does take it easy mean? Weight? Heart rate? Stretching?
A. Didn't get a solid answer. I've been puttering around house/garden in Day 1 and Day 2 and seem fine. I'm likely being too cautious but that is because I was not cautious at all for my [[vasectomy]]
Q. Any downsides to taking tylenol or the anti-inflammatories?
A. Not sure.
Q. explain how it heals... What bodily processes help and hurt
A. Seems like tubes are sutchered together. I didn't really get a sense of what helps. Tugging hurts which is why movement should be kept to minimum.
Q. How close do I put ice? Snuggly against? Loosely leaning against?
A. DIdn't get an answer. Went with loosely leaning agianst.
Q. The testicles are less loose then usual, a product of swelling? Just curious. Don't need an answer
Q. How to keep testicles tight as swelling goes down?
## Cautions
It is easy to forget [[ice]] is applied. Doctor said 15min every hour.
[[Constipation]]
A very odd time to be diving into a digital garden.
## Post-op "doctor said"
- "walking is okay" "but not 15minutes downntown"
- [[ice]]
- "Take the pill", "take the pill", "take the pill", "don't take the pill" A good reminder commuicate and to [[advocate for yourself]]
