A week after and freaking out

Had my vasectomy last week. So many moments I wish I had spoken up. Thought I was getting a no scalpel/needle and yet had two incisions. On the table, mg adrenaline got the best of me and I struggled big time with all of the tugging sensations. Some rough bruising and swelling that is only just starting to go down. I am now realizing that my incision, right where the stitches are, are on skin that ultimately runs along my shaft when erect.

Like others, I feel like I was sold a procedure as simple as a haircut but this feels like anything but. I’m discouraged and feeling like it’s never going to get better. Looking for advice/words of encouragement.

UPDATE: 6 days since I posted this and the healing is coming along nicely. Bruising is almost all gone and swelling has decreased tremendously. I feel it necessary to update for anyone who comes across this in the future.
