We went for another follow-up with Dr. B(alls) today, and things are starting to look better for Wisehubby. His steri-strips came off, and he doesn't have the world's worst case of blue balls, just a bad case of them.
The ball is in Wisehubby's court now; it's time to ease back into real life and hope for the best. He's now allowed to take warm baths to help alternate hot and cold (icing) for comfort, and in a week he can return to his normal habits. His abnormal recovery still looks like it is functional, and Dr. B(alls) finally said that everything should go back to normal eventually. Apparently, the alternative to letting things stay wonky would have been a risky extra incision which could have lead to the demise of a testicle. So, we're pretty glad that Dr. B(alls) decided to play it safe when he had Wisehubby on his table.
Wisehubby is going to have a few more follow-ups, so that Dr. B(alls) can help him through the recovery. He'll do a follow-up semen analysis at months three and six, and that is when we'll know whether or not this extremely painful, expensive gamble has paid off. Here's hoping for the best!
