31 January 2007

At 8 am Vegas time, I will find out if it is malignant or benign. Either way, it means surgery.

→[More:]

At 8:30 I'm having breakfast at Denny's with a friend.

Just the intention, the sheer balls, the chutzpah it takes to intend to go to Denny's after the doctor means it's going to be benign. Give 'em hell.

Piece o' (pan) cake, m! All will be well.

Best wishes.

Thinking about you mischief...I am not good with time zones, but I suspect you know by now.

Hope the news is good, mischief!
posted by jrossi4r 31 January | 14:58
the sheer balls

Well, one anyway, Wino; one the size of a softball. Anyway, it's just a hydrocele and chemical epididymitis. The onset was simultaneous with my moving up to 400 pound leg presses from 350, so that is the most probable cause.

Oh, and I had the Denny's Mega Meat Lover's Breakfast.
posted by mischief 31 January | 15:11
Good. Lord.

Still, that is great news, considering. Best of luck with your surgery.
posted by mike9322 31 January | 15:13
For reason's you'll just have to figure out, your post made me think of
this, which probably has more cheese in it than your breakfast did and should at least be good for a laugh. Sure, it's not as funny as a scrotum swollen to the size of a watermelon, but who can compete with that?
posted by Wolfdog 31 January | 15:19
yay, mischief! And mischief's swollen scrotum! Henceforth to be referred to as MSS!
posted by taz 31 January | 15:27
*whew* Great news, mischief!

"It should be noted that the condition is not usually painful but can be in some cases, but may be distracting as the scrotum can swell to more than the size of a watermelon. The condition does not usually interfere with sexual function."

Paints an interesting picture.
posted by terrapin 31 January | 15:47
A hydrocele? Oh, you'll be fine! My son was born with that - by the time of his surgery at three months old, his scrotum was - and I'm not making this up - 10 inches around.

There was a young man from Wyzes..
Who had balls of different sizes.
One was so small
it was no ball at all.
The other one won many prizes.
posted by redvixen 31 January | 19:36
Right now, I am more concerned about the infection than the swelling. Heart disease and infections do not play well together.
