Pay heed to the "Ol Timer", for he knows what he's talking about.
Had the snip done about 30 years ago, ehhh, no big deal. Had the procedure done Fri afternoon, went back to work Monday, walked up a two story set of steps, by the time I reached the top, I dropped to my knees and had to be carried back to my vehicle. Then I listened to the doc, stayed home for a week and stayed away from steps. Lesson learned, the tough guy shit only goes so far........
