Recovery - R.I.C.E.

Note: Since I was in a developing nation with strict drug policies, I was given no pain pills. You cannot take NSAIDs (increases chance of bleeding) so everything but acetaminophen was off the table. I cannot take acetaminophen so I took nothing, no booze, no grass ... nothing.

This list of to do's is comprised of advice from a half dozen or so people I know who had this surgery. I should have listened to their advice better and hope that you will.

To Do's :

Wear tighty-whiteys or really tight briefs. Any hanging hurts.

Ice and Rest.

Ice as much as possible. Once your junk gets inflamed, it drastically increases recovery time. Ice for half an hour, take off for ten minutes, put back on.

Don't get your stitches wet for two days, AKA, ice with a plastic bag to protect you from condensation.

Lay down, put a shirt, blanket, towel, under your junk so it is supported completely.

Since you cannot wash, use iodine to keep the area clean and put on antiseptic ointment (one time per day according to the instructions) until you feel up to showering.

Dip your junk in hot (slightly salty) water (after three days) to increase healing time and get the stitches out faster

Don't sneeze or cough. Any sort of inner pressure is magnified and hurts like hell.

Pissing and Pooping is rough the first couple of days. Don't push. Just wait until it happens.

Binge watch T.V. - It is better that way.

Don't have your lady around if she wants to get fresh. Your junk will hurt once you start getting erect.

Lay on your back, side laying hurts.

Have someone bring you food and water.

Getting up hurts because you use more muscles relating to your junk than you think / create more internal pressure than you think.

Protect your balls at all costs.

Drink lots of water and sleep.

Eat healthy food during this time. Save the burger or taco until you can push out the massive shit that will be waiting.

Don't push yourself to become active sooner because you can do some serious damage and you don't want your junk getting cut open again.

Wait a week, minimum, to blow your load.

Once you feel better, enjoy your new life.
