I will say, that when one has an abdominal injury (pelvis broken in 4 places) one tends to have 'internal bleeding'. As such, gravity works, and the lowest point is the scrotum.
It would have been SO MUCH better had I been told of this, as I "came to" or whatever you want to call that. But when I couldn't move my legs together at all, and it reached the point where my hip-joints were getting really sore and I tried hard to move my legs so that the "pressure/tension" would be relieved, that suddenly there's "an obstruction".
WHAT THE HELL????
Upon investigation, it seemed that testicle's A and B were the size of LEMONS, and that was housed in an inflated scrotum the size of a damn SOFTBALL. (I shit you not) I couldn't believe this, but the docs DID tell me that "the abdominal swelling should come down in some days".......
So I throw back the covers to have a look for myself, and HOLY HELL!!!!!!! Settled, uncirculating blood is BLACK!!!!!!
Me BELLOWING "Nurse!!!!!!..........." numerous times until a few arrived (after sprinting, apparently) definitely got their attention and they proceeded to tell me that "it's just loose blood that will be re-absorbed into your body in time. That is why we're giving you the daily Warfarin shot" (You ever look forward to rat-poison?)
My first question was "so nothing's falling off?????????" and they smiled and said "No, you can relax"........
Surrrrrrrre I can. Uh Huh...
Warning for ya'll. Skin don't "unstretch" so yeah,,,, there's a bit of "re-arranging of the furniture" whenever one needs to sit down now. Really, it ain't fun.
