Rod, so Fridays is the day! Yea, I was actually a little nervous before too. I also had the no scalpel technique. It's really very minor surgery. It only takes about 15 or 20 minutes. After a couple weeks I couldn't even tell where the incision was. I couldn't find it today if I had to. I had an adult circumcision a few years ago. This was a picnic compared to that. And it wasn't really that bad. I tried to get the Doc to give me something to keep the swelling from going down.
Good idea banking your sperm. It's really nice not to have to worry about slipping up and having an unplanned child. You will still have use some kind of birth control for a 2 or 3 months after to make sure you don't have any left over swimmers hiding out. They will explain it all to you. You are absolutely correct, the peace of mind out weights the reservations 100 to 1.
I hope everything goes well. We will expect a full report on Monday!
Take Care,
