I had it and it freakin' hurt. Just above the groin area, same as when I was 6 yrs old.

Don't you worry, Larry. The odds of you making it a pretty good. Only about 40% don't make it thru the operation. And only 50% of the ones who do remain impotent. :muhaha:

As far as Susan goes, you can pretty well wirte her off :heart: if I'm down there picking up the IRStro (cute name, by the way. First time I've heard it. I'll keep it after you've....well, after I've picked it up and brought it back home with me :D ). I'll woo her, if only to reduce the mourning period for the poor girl (I'm sure that you wouldn't want it any other way? :whistle: )

You'll be a trooper Larry! I had it done last year. A little uncomfortable for a few days but you'll probably be told not to lift more than 20 pounds. Time to relax and find a couple helpers in the family. :yawinkle:
