B's Surgery Update



How things can change in a month and a half!  Last time I wrote about our specific infertility story, B was in the OR undergoing his surgery.  I’m very happy to report that the surgery went well.  Afterward, Dr. J came out to tell me that B had done well and that the varicoceles had actually been much larger than he had realized from the previous physical examination.  This is a good thing because larger veins = higher improvement rates (normally).

It’s been about five weeks since his surgery and the patient is doing well.  He was very sore and achy for the first week or so.  In fact, he still gets kind of sore if he moves in the wrong direction sometimes.  But overall I’d say he’s recovered remarkably well.  He did wind up taking one extra day off work, but within about 10 days, he was resuming all activities as normal… he had to.

Stay tuned for my next post on what happened in our family shorty after B’s surgery!
