This is a story that should also serve as a warning to those thinking about getting an apadravya done. It is also the story of a couple, who are both doctors, who should have known better and went and did something anyway. Not the research kind either, but the kind who really should have known better. That's right, you never know what your doctors have under their lab coats!
At A Glance Author Nightmaregoddess Contact Nightmaregoddess@bme.anon Location Western New York My Boy didn't want to write this, but I felt it was neccessary. Anyway, he had been pining for an apadravya piercing to go behind his 4 gauge PA. The PA had some...quite positive sexual benefits...and it looks so...interesting! So he/we went for it. We went to the most most reputable piercing establishment in the area. The head guy (no pun intended) looked at Boy's equipment and where he wanted the 10 gauge rod placed and refused to do it. He said the odds of having a bleeding problem were too high. This should have been where the story ends, but of course it didn't.
Undaunted ...we went to a different place, where their policy was more of a "you got the money, we'll put a hole in it", and they agreed to do it.
When he had the PA done, I, the partner in crime, anesthetised the...unit...with a carpule of 1:100,000 epinephrine, right into the shaft. I mean, would you rather get stuck with a 35 gauge needle or a 4 gauge? During the whole experience, Boy didn't feel a thing, didn't flich, nothing. Smiled and chatted the whole time. Freaked the piercer out, it did. That having worked so well, we did it again.
When the piercer clamped down on the head I was stunned. He just squished it flat, locking the forceps closed. Didn't think a willie could get so flat. Boy didn't feel a thing. The whole smiling, chatting thing. I got more pale when they drove the needle in than he did. They put in the titanium bar. And we went back to my place.
I took a look at his willie, and he said "look! its already stopped bleeding!" I had a better angle and said something like, "You know, I am not sure it has..." I've thought about that moment a lot. Fresh arterial blood is bright red, and it was welling up, barely perceptably around the clot. Now, Boy lived with his mom, some distance away. He went to home, I went to bed, having worried thought about something not being quite right...more than the usual, "Boy just got a metal rod shoved through the head of his penis" not right.
Got a call at 5 am...the one every girl just loves (besides "Honey...I'm really drunk and at the Canadian Ballet...or in jail) it goes, "Honey...I'm at the ER...." I had to work that day, and my staff kept asking me what was wrong. I told them. Only one girl understood, and apparently, felt it was her job to explain it to the others, who still didn't understand, even with diagrams.
Anyway....Boy got to his home, and went to bed on one of those fold out bed things. The anesthesia we used does something else besides completely numbing something...it causes the blood vessels to constrict! This lessens the bleeding, right? And...he took 800mg of Motrin, which is a blood thinner, not as much as aspirin (never use unless perscribed!) but still a blood thinner.
Boy goes to sleep. The anesthesia starts wearing off and the blood vessels dilate to normal size. Now he starts bleeding, painlessly, in his sleep. He bled sooo much it soaked though the whole mattress, dripping and pooling on the floor. He wakes up, and is alarmed not by pain, but warm, wet, sticky....EVERYWHERE.
At which point it is time to go to the ER. They can't do a lot but put pressure on it, and ask him "What where you thinking?!?!" "Look at what you did to you!!" He couldn't take it out because that would have made him bleed far more, as the metal was stopping up considerable blood flow and they figured he already lost around 2 litres.
He is a Stubborn Boy, and even after the week when they told him to take it out, he left it in. When you have a PA *and* an apadravya, you jingle a little when you walk. You also have very shiny equipment! A few months later, he gave it up because it wasn't healing properly...and had the bar put into his ear as an industrial as a badge of...something.
Learn from the mistakes of others! This could have been a lot worse if he slept more soundly!
