I had my vasectomy scheduled a month and a half before a golf outing I’m planning to par take in. Now I just got rescheduled to the week before. How had everyone’s recovery been 7 days out and are you all good to golf and drink heavily.

Secondly, if the golfing would be tough drinking should be in effected right? I’m not opposed to sitting through a little pain in the cart drinking my ass off and only hitting 1 or 2 shots if I’m hurting too much to get up.

I m looking for gift ideas to give to my wife to celebrate her and the monumental task she took on this first year of our child’s life and how well she handled it and overcame. A little background, our child’s life spent 3 months in the NICU with major 10 hour long open heart surgery on day 19. Had multiple cath procedures before that. Had severe infection needing to be on a month long IV antibiotic in the NICU. Came home for 5 months and over that time had Covid and the flu plus other normal illnesses, ear infections etc. during that time had to go to the hospital for two separate overnights for cath procedure and scans/ testing in anticipation for the major repair. Got the major repair and was in the PICU for another 3 weeks. Now is out of the hospital and everything about the repair looks “excellent” and anatomically correct. The expectation is 15+ years now before maybe needing a cath procedure for a valve work but otherwise the expectation is for a normal life and no restrictions. This year has been so tough and demanding meanwhile my wife has handled it so gracefully while doing an amazing job with the other kids too. I want to get something to celebrate her. I was thinking either for our child’s 1 year birthday or maybe 1 year from when they came home from the NICU since by this point we will have more “clearance” from the cardiologist switching to 6 month intervals of visits as opposed to the biweekly visits we have had since leaving the NICU. Anyone have suggestions for a really heartfelt gift under these conditions and what do you think is more celebratory timing wise?

Edit to add:

I know this journey isn’t over but it has reached such an inflection point from where we began I feel it should be celebrated.
