Men and PS, a story

Hey Guys… Just though I’d give you an update on the plastics that I have had….don’t worry this is not a main board post, strictly men’s stuff here…with a chuckle or two… Ok in January I had the lower body lift..y’all know that….I had those nasty drains for a month, not really any pain, but tight where they did the muscle tightening…. You know how when you eat too much…of course you know….and you get in the car and have to undo your pants…..well that is what the muscle tightening fells like…only it does not go away….5 months and I still got it…. Well it went well, but I still had a pouch in the “Mons area”…it  look like a fanny pack…pretty good size one… So the doc wanted to do a touch up….he talked the insurance in to paying for it so, 2 weeks ago we go in,,,,,1 1/2 hour in surgery, all is fine I was home by lunch….had one drain, now in order to flatten this out, he made one cut, left to right, and 2 cuts up and down…from my waist all the way down to the middle of my,,,,,,hmmmm….oh hell,….nutz, on both sides We know that getting support and compression on this area would be difficult…so I went to the med supply houses and looked for devices…I found a Truss, it kind like an industrial strength jock strap…it rides low, and does give compression It does have some draw backs….one is you are supposed to wear this direct to the skin…my child like skin is to delicate for that so I put it over my underwear…..ok no problem…..but this thing is meant to be worn tight….so once you get Mr. happy and the boys through their proper window….and hitch this thing up…about 30 seconds later, you have to either pee or take a dump….well for the pee part, in an ideal world you would be able to use the fly on the shorts….but things are still a little swollen, and you have to go digging for buried treasure if you know what I mean… Taking a crap, is just strip down and start all over again…plus make sure you don’t dip the Velcro straps in the toilet….very important…. Oh and on the truss….you have to be careful how you move, I was sting talking to a patient and one of the back straps slipped, and before I could finish up, and get to the care and readjust things, I had a major rope burn up the crack of my AZZ….lovely… Well I started looking a little more puffy over the past few days, and I went into the Docs office…yep I had a nasty little seroma…no pain to get it out,  just the thought of someone taking a radio antenna off your car and go divining for fluid down around the jewel box…..plus the litany of people pulled in out of the hall, to put their hands in your crotch to press the fluid toward the needle….I could have gotten less personal action at Woodstock…. Ok hope this made you smile….. Russ

LOL reading your post Russ! You always crack me up....I hope all the discomfort is worth it....I think I would go through it to be able to look down and see another inch or two with that fat-pad gone! I think most of us guys would. Good luck on the healing and hopefully the only poking and prodding that goes on down there from here on out is of the invited, recreational variety!

Ok hope this made you smile….. IT DID !! pan head

Russ, I’ll have to remember "Radio Antennae." That is a great descriptor of the "needle" they use. When you say "needle" people think- "needle," And it’s not that at all! You may have to suggest modifications of the support garment to the manufacturer. They may even come out with a new product- "The Russ-Truss."

Their marketing campaign could be- "Enough Ballroom for a Prom!" J Hope all your swelling is soon a faded memory! (Thanks for the laugh!) Best wishes- Dx

Hi Dx, Your slogan "Enough Ballroom for a Prom!" is a gem. Er, I mean, a jewel.

Hey Russ, Great story--thanks. I had forgotten all about the old Truss. Used to see them in drugstores when I was a boy and hear stories about So-and-so "needing a Truss." They always scared me--the stories and the Trusses. Now I know why.
