>Hi guys thanks for the response your making me feel a lot more comfortable with what i have waiting for me. I still think ill go for the partial im definately encouraged by AJs experience. Whats the realistic timescales for me to
>a) start drivingIt depends if the doctor gives you general or local.
General: you will need 24 to 36 hours for the chemicals to wear off.
Local: (recomended) If the doctor give a shot to keep you calm then only a few hours (my experience: circed at 5:00pm and drove at 7:pm.) For my re-circ I requested no sendative just pain killer and drove to and from the the circ.
>b) Start back at workI got circed on Friday late afternoon and went to work (office) on Monday and gave an active presentation at a conference on Tuesday.
Note: I went to my morning coffee group Saturday at a restruant and nobody noticed that I was walking some what gingerly.>c) Start sports
I was not into sports at that time.
>d) Start masterbating#
Very gingerly after only a few days, via the glans and the residual inner foreskin. You will know how adventurious you wish to be as you heal.
>e) Start Sex
The stitches must be out and the scar must have lost most of its tenderness. The other recommendations are pretty good.
Just a comment on partial vs. full circumcision. Even though I wanted a full circ, I chose a some what loose one the first time. I ended up going back to get it tighted up. I personally prefer my tight circumcsion with much of the inner foreskin preserved.
