- This isn't directly applicable to your case, but
- our 3-year old's foreskin was closing itself off (was down to
- just a pinprick at the end) and any attempt by the doctors to
- get partial retraction resulted in bleeding/adhesion. So Nathan
- went in for a circumcision 3 weeks ago. Everything went fine:
- arrived at the hospital at 7am, left the hospital at 10am,
- and Nathan was on Tylenol for a couple of days. Diaper changes
- were definitely objected to for a while though!
