i ' ve smoked weed , tobacco , and drank alcohol but i could be completely fine without any of themThis is what an addict tells themselves . <| sep |> good point , you changed my mind on the rule <| sep |> I had to have a second vasectomy because the first didnt work . So , for the first one they cut a very small section of the tube out like a couple of millimeters and cauterize each end . Now , because your bodies natural instinct is to heal itself , sometimes those tubes will get close together and actual reattach . Thats what happened to me . Now that did hurt , and took a couple days to get over . But the second time they did it , they took a much bigger piece of the tube , like 3 cm worth . I had a local anesthetic , but it didnt seem to do very much , and I asked for more . twice , and received it , but still didnt seem to help . I couldnt feel the actual cut or cauterizing , but there was a lot of tugging and pulling . I was 27 at the time , and balling my eyes out on the table , the pain index was a 9 or 10 out of 10 . I can , in that moment , remember thinking to myself , all those action movies that Ive watched where the hero is getting tortured , and holds out for hours or days is total and utter bullshit . If someone knows what theyre doing , theres no way you could ever hold out for more than a couple of minutes .
