And then there was one survivor, his two buddies cut loose from their cozy sack and tossed aside like so much useless garbage.........
The 'nadectomy (more properly orchiectomy) went well, Dr Kimmel being a kind and gentle man and a skilled surgeon, putting one at ease throughout the operation. Iced down tonight two days of bedrest await and I will no doubt post more of my experience.

Lessening the number of extra parts
Last week I got up the nerve to call the office of a certain well known surgeon to see about a phone consultation. Being asked to call back yesterday morning gave my nervousness time to dissipate over the weekend and when I finally talked to him about lunchtime I was all together. An interesting fellow! Good idea to go off on a tangent for a while to get a sense of how serious and ready the prospective patient is to reduce the number of extra parts. After a nice and thorough interview and desciption of the "hows" of the procedure I was handed over to the Office Manager to set up my appointment. December 3 the 'nads go bye-bye!
I forgot to ask if I can keep them in a jar as a souvenir :)

Business or Busy-ness?
As I move on into my new life, old debts gone and new ones yet to be a burden, my old nemesis still stalks me.
I've never had much of a job to mention, seldom approaching what could be called a "career", and unemployed now in middle-middle age the options are somewhat limited. But really they are the best they've ever been since, for the first time, I have a reasonable amount of money to invest in........ well, that's the problem. I'm not exactly the Business sort and my casual efforts at eBay selling can hardly be said to be profitable, just recovering a good percentage of the money spent on various collectibles over the years. Teresa's Terrific Treasures & Terrible Trash (un-Inc., very Ltd.) has been a source of much amusement and gotten rid of a lot of excess baggage in the doing. But crunch time approacheth, though my funds are enough for basic transition expenses and living for a fair while longer without income. When I'm further along (and the legal name matches up with the appearance) a job will be possible but geography and economy will make that a tough find.
So TTT&TT needs to be fleshed out from an amusing hobby to something more "real".
