Is that the one next to the willy? I also had one but they just had a nurse put all their weight on it for like an hour, then put sandbags on top of it for another hour or so. Never want to do that again

It is, and the glue they used to close the incision made it feel like having a third testicle for a few weeks. It was right at the waistline, so my pants and belt were always pushing on it, which fucking sucked.

Hope you're better! I got mine inserted without any anesthetic since it was a last minute decision, was pinned to the table while they inserted it, worst pain of my life IMP

Likewise! It was a tumor and they were trying to see if they could get rid of it medically or if it would require surgery. Ended up needing the surgery. But this was years ago and I'm fine now.

I remember in a first aid class they wanted to drill into our heads how important it was to stop the bleeding if someone was cut there, we had to take turns kneeling on each other's artery to know exactly where it is. "You'll know if they're doing it right", the teacher said, and he was correct cuz when they did it right it hurt a lot.

The only thing I remember from that class is how tourniquets work.
