Ah don't worry, I wasn't going to drag it out (with or without a crochet hook) but as you were all interested, I feel I should close off the story, with a happy end (pun intended). Thanks for all your interest, (is it affection, or is it like staring at a road accident, both hideous and compelling?) I just wanted to let you all know that it all seems to be OK now. There is no pain. I can walk properly, jump up and down, and fit into tight trousers, so we can all rest easy. I tell you what though, I'm not having one of those vasectomies again. Bye then, and sleep well. Love Paulo _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
