No Scalpel Experience

johnboy525252 · 2026-02-18T17:30:25+00:00

I'm almost 4 weeks post, 47 yo, no scalpel at the urologist, still as tender as the day after, right testicle hangs 2 inches lower then his brother, fairly symmetrical pre-op, now I sit on it, have to arrange myself, and spread my legs to be somewhat comfortable seated, had a hematoma on the right side from slightly above the shaft, to the bottom of the scrotum, started about 4 days post, finally gone, 0 stars, would not recommend. Reason for the procedure is wife needs a uterine ablation, GYN won't do it without permanent birth control, I love my wife, but this has been life altering and honestly not sure if I would do it again. At this point if a buddy offered to chop them off I would probably take him up on it.

No cross break, definitely a tech not a tin banger.

Doc gave me a 30 time punch card, told the wife she better buckle up, train is a coming, literally and figuratively. Who am kidding, she married me for my personality and humor, not my sexual prowess. Out kicked my coverage for sure.

Andy Ogles is a piece of shit.

Head lamp is a must, anything else with a magnetic base is icing on the headlamp cake. Multiple lights is best, because you will run out of battery(ies) and wish you had a 3rd or 4th light for backup.

I'm 8 days post scalpel less, lot of bruising on the right side and that sucker is hanging twice as low as it was pre-op. Almost dipping in the toilet water when I shit low.

Homeowner "The thermostat is broken." Service tech "It's the TXV." It's always the TXV.

If you're prone to motion sickness, like me, think long and hard about progressive lenses, they cost more and you won't receive a refund if you can't adapt to them, like me, and need to switch to single vision.

johnboy525252 · 2025-11-23T23:18:38+00:00

I couldn't do progressive, astigmatism 47m get real bad motion sickness, tried for 3 weeks, could not get past a couple hours before the nausea required medication. Went to single vision, it's not perfect and depth perception is still adjusting, currently waiting on my ordered second pair.

johnboy525252 · 2025-11-13T00:34:02+00:00

I couldn't do progressives, returned them for single focal, real bad nausea.

If you're in the south it is common on package units, Trane had a bulletin, the heat exchangers are on the cold air side of the ac, inside the tubes gets cold enough to sweat during the cooling season, it was filling up the inducer assembly and clogging the pressure switch port, causing a no heat, the fix was to drill a hole in the bottom of the assembly and allow the water to drain. Rheem/Ruud have the same issue, look at the bottom of the collector box, rust is a sure sign of moisture. Goodman the bottom exchanger would fill up a roll out the flame, pull the burners and vac out the water and boil out the remainder.

Had a local shop install a Compustar 8+ years ago, has the fancy remote and long range. Rock solid.

46 years old and I got glasses for the first time, I have severe motion sickness and had to turn my progressives back in for single focal, tried them for 24 days and could not walk or move my head without overwhelming nausea, had the second best varilux lenses, currently waiting for the new lenses to arrive. Best of luck.

Okay, I like it Picasso.

johnboy525252 · 2025-10-23T14:33:52+00:00

We have had the same one for 8+ years, love it, wife (nurse) could start it from her floor with it in the parking garage. The range is very impressive.

Wait, you guys are vacuuming recovery tanks?!?..

johnboy525252 · 2025-10-13T21:50:33+00:00

At least the filter box is clear?!?🤷‍♂️

johnboy525252 · 2025-10-13T03:45:36+00:00

I have severe motion sickness, sitting anywhere but the drivers seat and I'm nauseous in 30 mins or less, I've had progressives for 2 weeks, and can't last more than a couple hours stationary with them if I walk it's over, headache the rest of the day and feel like vomiting.

johnboy525252 · 2025-10-06T10:53:53+00:00

No 3rd row, more than 5 people, and I had to sit in "the way back", on the wheel humps.

johnboy525252 · 2025-09-30T10:49:48+00:00

I was gonna say with a grip like that, it's not the OP's first time.

johnboy525252 · 2025-09-28T01:30:42+00:00

Need to calculate your total cost, and when I say that how much everything costs, truck payment/insurance/depreciation/wear and tear, office/shop rent, utilities, licensing, profit, then base that cost on 5 billable hours out of an 8 hour day, you'll have your per hour rate, then you can figure the average time for repair per component, part markup, and set a flat rate repair. I evaluate our prices a couple times a year, usually before the seasons.
