Thanks for all the responses.
Good luck on the surgery Bob. I’m sure the cute nurses will be fighting to take care of you afterwards!

Yo, Bob, when you have your bean(s) removed on the 29th, box them up and ship them to Rutager; I hear he's got a new earring design waiting in the wings!

Who spoiled the surprise? Whoever it was didn’t get all the facts right...They’re not earrings but will be a nose ring and it is going to be your birthday present Ronnie.

^^^

If the nose ring is made from the errant bean, then I will have to do some serious strength training in order to not walk stooped way over!

Out basketball coach had massive gonads. We marvelled at them in the shower and he just took the win.

Oh, we'll find a way to kick you around, and you won't ever outlive that nickname.

Good luck with the surgery!

Last Friday at 1:30. Suited up at 11:45. Took me in at 12:30. Awake in recovery a 1:50. Let me acclimate for an hour then ride picked me up.

Three solid days laying about and out of it. Fourth day for good measure but did some minor things yesterday. Pain was there but no real pain. Highest was a 2 1/2 out of ten. Drugs worked. Frozen vegetables worked. Doing nothing worked. Back at shop but moving way slow.

Thanks for your concern.

Excellent! Good to hear. And no amputation required!

I was watching White Lotus again last night. There was an enlarged testicular "health scare" in there.

All joking aside…and this thread has had some great ones, hydroceles are not normally dangerous and most doctors will not operate. And supportive underwear, etc will do nothing to help or eliminate these.

Don't be so sure about that; rumor has it that Bob has recently been shopping for dresses (in his size!), a wig, makeup supplies, and even researching breast implant options!

Not sure why the urologist's assistant pushed this. She said it was the predominant reason.

It's scary when you have no idea what it is, though. Then the doc grabs it and shines a flashlight through it and you call your Dr brother and he asks, "Did they shine a light through it?" and then you know you still don't know nuttin but you are going to live.

Won't be long, Tiger. I'll let Tanya say it for me.
