Ugh

I'm a bad housewife. I'm only halfway done the dishes, and I'm already pooped out. I'm taking a break out of sheer laziness. Here's a quickie link dump, and then I'm

Vasectomies Gone Wrong: [livejournal.com profile] zombienought started this community because of complications due to a vasectomy. If you're thinking about getting one, or have had problems with your own, check this out. I'm glad [livejournal.com profile] f00dave's went perfectly.

Hi-tech toilet swallows woman: An old story, but a good one. Skynet is alive in well, if only in the bog.

N.B. ruling opens hockey locker room to girls: Sounds good to me!

Serpentina: I've been told before that I dance like I have no bones. I hasten to disagree, and so would Serpentina.

Hey, thanks for pimping me. :) This is one
of the few times I'm sad that there are
more female LiveJournalers than male.

Maybe you could be as lazy as Serpentina!

You're welcome! I hope you get a fairytale ending.

You mean where they put hot shoes on my
feet and I dance til I die, or rip my-
self in twain, or get shoved in an oven?

:-P

I was thinking of skinning a donkey that shits gold and wearing the skin so your father won't rape you.

I'm so glad I added you - you're an absolute goldmine! I'll be keeping an eye on the badvasectomies journal, I wanted [livejournal.com profile] bslaveboy to have one but I had no idea that the risks were so high. I always thought that it was supposed to be a simple 15 minute kind of operation.

The only risk I knew about was the tiny chance a vasectomy could spontaneously reverse itself.

And a one-in-50 or so chance of post--operative swelling, which lasts a few days, perhaps as long as a week. The vast majority are 15 minute operations that leave the "client" sore for a couple of days, then happily infertile (after a few weeks: gotta "purge the system" as it were).

So the doctor didn't mention a possibility of chronic dehibilitating pain? I'll betcha that if more guys knew, there'd be fewer vasectomies going around. Also, I'd betcha there'd be more research money going into better procedures and post-op care.
