Vasectomy as a Chef

[MrCupcake]

Dear ya'll,

I'm due to have my op in about 2 weeks time. Excited, as it's something that's been on the cards for a while but never followed through.

I am a chef however, and all the sites say, avoid "heavy duties" for about a week.

I have written to my manager and she's asked me to define this.

I get no heavy lifting, but is there anything else I should be avoiding whilst trying to recover?

My job is rather fast paced, and i'm a bigger guy, so tend to sweat alot, especially during the cooking part of my job.

Any clarification would be fantastic!

Thanks

Mr Cupcake

Dont fit a carpet like I did and be prepared for bruising which looks dreadful but not painful. You will enjoy firing blanks . Worse part was having to provide sperm specimens for testing as it was done by a friend of mine.

Buy a few small bags of peas and keep in freezer. Use those inside tight briefs the first few days. I recovered in 2 days. Just avoid getting knocked down there by kids and other objects.

It will be uncomfortable, but wearing very tight underpants, or speedos really, really helps.

For a Chef it may be difficult. You want to avoid bending and lifting or at least do it slowly. Think and plan ! Sad though it may be a Female boss may not be as understanding as a Male one ?

I had two days off and returned on the third, my Manager but me on light duties, brushing up. His Boss walked past, a known tyrant. He told me to go sit down ! I must have looked rough ?

Perhaps ask for a risk assessment.
