Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
GC can you call and talk to your pediatrician? S/he can maybe advise you on whether or not you should come in sooner, but at the very least I'd give the office a heads up that you want enough time w/ the doctor on Friday to discuss. (I guess I'm assuming Friday is a routine visit.)
The pediatricians in the office where we go are wonderful about doing phone triage, especially w/ first time parents.
Can't you get a cashier's check from your credit union, omnis?
Sparky, that is what I think I'll do. At least it'll put my mind at ease.
I'm sure it's fine to wait until Friday, GC.
(If you're really nervous, you could always grab a close male friend and ask him to look at it. I pretty much let DH handle any penis-related baby issues.)
And I've heard in Czech, there are as many words for "Beer" as Eskimos have for "snow".
You do know the Eskimo-words-for-snow thing is bunkum, right?
I called and they said it sounded fine to wait until Friday since it's not oozing or red. It's a fairly sizable chunk - I hope it's okay.

This is a disquieting image but I don't think I really quite understand. Where's it missing? The glans? The shaft? The head? Is it where the circumcision happened?
Is it like an indentation? Or a gouge?
I ask because penises come in many varieties and they're not always uh, symmetrical.
Though I think the doctor's concern about whether the wound is raw or sore is probably the key point.
It's underneath, where the head meets the shaft. I think it's like a gouge. At least it's underneath? Eeek!
ETA: Yes, it's where the circ happened.
Sounds like at the frenulum? (medical drawing of penis)
