re: Vasectomy: Things to consider?

Also, another question I have, the recovery time. I know you pretty much have to lay on the couch for a couple of days, I plan on that. I know I wouldn't be able to play tennis (which I play 2 - 3 times a week) for about 2 weeks. Other than that, what should I know?

The other big thing is the following, is recovery feasible alone. I can arrange a friend to drive me to and from obviously, but I am single and live alone. My parents do not even know I'm considering this and will not know. If I make the appropriate preparations, is recovery by myself with no help feasible?
