I have an appointment set with Dr Arnkoff for the 22nd. I'll let you all know how it goes here. Regreen, is there anything you might recommend for me to make the stay more comfortable?
I'm definitely bringing a cooler full of ice packs and maybe one of those ring cushions for the drive home though. Just to be cautious.
I've been told to bring an Athletic Supporter w/o the cup, to help keep your scrotal sac supported
do the stitches do not get ripped out.
'regreen13' wondering how many stitches did/do you have?
I had either seven or eight stitches holding together the mid-line incision, which was about one to one-and-a-half inches long.
Orchiectomy performed 6/9/2011 by Dr. Reed in Miami
I spoke with Dr. Arnkoff last week he will be doing my orchiectomy as soon as i get the money saved up, its about a 6 hour drive for me to his office, my wife is going with me for support and to do the driving i can't wait.
They make a post op surgical supporter that has an opening for the penis. This allows the support to remain in place for much of the time. A pharmacy or home care supplier should have them.

“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”

The telephone area code indicates oakland County, Michigan
Mac,
The Drs phone number is from the Northwestern portion of the Metro Detroit area. His office is in the western portion
of the City of Southfield (Oakland County) and is in the shadow of the old American Motors Corporation HQ (know know as the American
Center). To get to his office, it would be about a 50 minute ride via Interstate 275, just to the west of the Detroit Metro
Airport or via the Southfield Freeway just to the east of the airport in Allen Park, MI.

Four days to go. I'm so excited and nervous all at once.
Best of luck to you. I hope you heal well and quickly.

Let me know where the elevator is in the building. My appt is in 5 weeks.
The Dr's office is in the lower level, and when I was there checking the building out, I couldn't find the elevator. The stairwells are at the entrances to the building. When I went there on a Friday at 2pm , the building was open but most of the offices were
closed. I saw two housekeeping crew and the looked at me like "What was I doing there!"
Where are you staying, and for how long in the area?
