Well, umm, that's a surprise...

It wasn’t until I showered for the first time after surgery that I noticed that, well, the hospital has apparently given me a little shave down below. The incisions were considerably higher up, but I guess to secure the Foley they needed to do that. Not like I was in any position to argue the point or anything, but surprising nonetheless...

I have no idea what I was expecting when I opened your post. I guess congratulations on the mowed lawn?

Glad you’re OK. The free shave wasn’t for the Foley. They might shave a bit of your inner thigh to secure the Foley if your legs are super hairy.

Maybe they thought you were getting a different surgery? Maybe they thought you really needed it? That’s all I got.

Trimming the weeds from around the mailbox makes it appear taller.

They did plan on doing laparoscopic surgery, but were prepared to slice me open if the need arose. I figure that the shaving was part of that preparation.

I’m not a terribly hairy person. I once had a girlfriend say, before we slept together, that she liked to run her finger through a man’s chest hair. I told her that I only had three of them and to please be careful as to not pull them out...

They shave you for all contingencies.  They shaved my chest as well as my back to fix my spine and put the rods in.  They had no intention of going in from the front.  And thank goodness, that would have been much worse for recovery.

hahaha!  Hope you still have your three.  You’re not getting more.

Yep.

This would be a great basis for a Seinfeld episode.

Glad you’re feeling better. Had to wear my catheter for 7 weeks till they finally figured out what the problem was.

The last time I had a surgery they had to shave my belly. I’m not super hairy, but the crappy single-use hospital shaver they used couldn’t handle the job. It burned out and they had to get a second one, which barely made the cut...
