Yesterday was really like a day at the beach for two reasons. 1) I didn't have any pain to speak of and, 2) we were really at a beach. The day started out pretty good. I did have a full feeling on the left side of my scrotum which never really materialized into anything. Around lunch time I started to get these little intermittent headaches above my right eyebrow. I took some tylenol for it.
So the lack of pain, probably had something to do with the tylenol I took. Hey, I'm okay with that after the last week or so of more intense sensations and pain. Today is Sunday and we're about to go to church. Luckily, their chairs are nice and comfy which helps quite a bit. Although yesterday was a relatively good day for me regarding my post vasectomy reversal pains and symptoms, my reversal has been anything but a day at the beach.
I read on the forum where someone had a vasectomy reversal about one year ago and they didn't really feel any better. Another person replied with some facts. Apparently vasectomy reversals are about 75% effective in PVPS men. That leaves 25% of us in the other category. My one year vasectomy reversal anniversary comes up in December. I am hopeful that I'll be able to report better progress from my reversal at 1 year than this other gentleman.

Trying to Stay Active
One reason we moved out of the searing Texas heat, was so our family could be more active. I think we've done pretty well so far in the week and a half we've lived in our new home. For instance, today we played, explored and hiked around a river. The kids had fun finding fish frye and throwing rocks in the river.
I did a lot of walking, bending, throwing and stacking rocks. Now later in the day, I feel pretty good. No real pain to speak of down there. I think being here will be a good thing. My body may not be ready for hard physical labor or exercise yet, but it's looking like "normal" activity may be back in the cards for me. I've even been wearing jeans. I know that doesn't sound like much, but I haven't worn jeans since last October, 10 months ago. It seems like I've been wearing basketball shorts every day for quite a long time now. It's been nice to change it up a little bit. I'm still careful when I sit down though. I don't want to get too crazy.
If anything can be proved thus far, it is that walking seems to do a body good, at least my body. So, we'll try to keep hiking and exploring. Then maybe I'll be up for the more rigorous treadmill at the gym.
Before I forget, this morning I had that "full" feeling again on my right side. Still haven't had a release in quite a while, so maybe that's why I'm feeling that sensation.
