True. And it probably didn't compare to your cross country trek neither. Still tired of driving though

Looks like I gotta go back to the d1ck doc. Got neutered last Tuesday and instead of the pain and swelling subsiding with time it's gotten a lot worse now I got a baseball and a tennis ball in my ballbag and a ton of pain. Even had to buy another bag of frozen corn because the one I was using pretty much got cooked in my jockstrap.

Edit: I called, earliest I can get in is 9/12 or 9/20. I'll just find him at work n show him my cocknballs.

I dont think it's infection, there's no heat or redness. Just severe swelling and significant pain. Don't think there's anything that can be done except wait n see. But this hurts almost as bad as when I fractured a testicle in a bicycle accident as a kid. And that landed me in the hospital overnight and then shipped to children's hospital in Chicago. I've even given in to taking ibuprofen every day. I rarely take anything but ice and positioning for pains.

Friend of mine got snipped a while back. We were to pick him up at home and head out for a road trip for a week in the backwoods of Maine. He was in charge of beer and meat. He had the kegs of homebrew that we made a couple months before and some cuts of venison, pork, burger etc..

When we arrived to pick him up for the road trip he couldn't go because of his snipped nuts a few days prior. I thought he was pu$$ing out until he dropped his shorts. One of them was literally the size of a tennis ball... no exaggeration. An image burned into my brain that I probably will never be able to erase.

We took the keg of beer and the meat but left him behind. To this day I don't know how do you recover from that. The sack must be incredibly flexible... it's franking nuts!

Yeah when I had the fractured testicle my sack was the size of a cabbage. I was 12-13ish. My parents grounded me for not wanting to do anything I said my balls hurt which got me slapped across the face for mentioning genitalia. Happened on a camping trip and they left me at the camper while they went swimming, biking, hiking. Finally I took my pants off and walked in to show them my giant purple sack and we went straight to the hospital.

Local hospital wanted to amputate the busted nut. Then they transferred me to children's hospital in Chicago. Opened the sack for washout but kept both balls. Said the fractured one may or may not be functional but if scar tissue doesn't cut off blood flow no reason to remove it.

The majority of the swelling is on the right side, that's the egg I cracked way back when. It's probably more a mass of scar tissue than a testicle and scar tissue doesn't stretch which is causing more pain since it can't swell. The epididymus and fibrous sac are swollen to baseball size but the testicle itself is fairly normal. Left side the testicle is about a golf ball with the epididymus about another golf ball.

Good times.

I called the urologist personally rather than go through proper channels. He said keep icing it and wearing the jockstrap and give it another week and call him back. That's what I planned to do anyway but goddamn it sucks walking around feeling like I got a midget following me kicking my balls with every step. Thanks for the welcome to the lollipop guild.

3am woke up from the pain. Took an ibuprofen and stuffed a bag of frozen corn in my jockstrap and posted my experience on a discount cigar forum.

Damn, danm! That's sounds nuts. Hopefully you'll get the ball rolling on the healing process soon. I know it's not seen as tough to cry and all, but we understand if you need to ball about it.

Morning to the rest a youse

Yesterday, another Tesla “broken” tire.
If you drive one, avoid potholes. The weight of the car’s battery is hell on the suspension.

Morning gents. We have an appointment with the TSA today to get one of those bypass the line thingies. I'm sure they want to look in our pants, history of transgressions, etc first.

Maybe Janet Yellen can help with danm's inflation?

After ice and ibuprofen I been feeling alright. Still got that damn midget kicking my sack when I walk but not too bad.

Dealing with insurance companies now. Got an estimate from the shpo, 995. Insurance company through pictures said $650. Called them back they want me to go to their affiliate shpo for the estimate but then say "you can choose to repair at your preferred shpo." I want to use a gridlife sponsor but they're saying it's too high.

I started a claim with my insurance before I had the police report. Opened a claim with the other drivers insurance now that I have their info. Would've just taken a picture of their insurance card and skipped the police report except it was an Amazon driver and I'm not interested in fighting with insurance on a corporate use vehicle.

Probably gonna have to go to their affiliate shpo but the one I want to use is in network with them so hopefully my estimate is good. Waiting to hear back.

Decided I'm gonna fly to Colorado. Or maybe hitch a ride with one of my buddies in a motorhome.

Told the wife I'll probably fly down and asked her to drive me to/from the airport. She said no.
