I am also very happy to no longer need spiro. I AM SO TIRED OF PISSING.
The procedure went well and they said I recovered really well from the anesthesia. I wasn't groggy or anything and I could drink the water they gave me just fine right after waking up.
The best way I can describe what the pain feels like right now is when you need to piss like really crazy bad. (I don't actually have to piss though.)
I was going to write a bit more but I'm tired so imma just go to sleep now. (Also my autocorrect just tried to change sleep to localhost:8080 wtf)
Update: A lot of my pain is gone this morning and I feel a lot better. I found that putting ice on it helped a lot. Didn't really need much of the pain meds they gave me. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are good enough.

Balls B GONE-BLAST!
Congrats, that is awesome to hear!
Edit: the description of how it feels is also handy, thanks. I was curious about that, and it actually feels like it'd help me in what to do.

The best way I can describe what the pain feels like right now is when you need to piss like really crazy bad. (I don't actually have to piss though.)
That sounds like residual sensation from a Foley catheter - basically a straw that runs up your urethra and into your bladder. Once in place, the end of it's inflated inside your bladder so it doesn't pull back out, but that balloon puts pressure on the base of your bladder, and that's how your brain normally knows it's full of pee.
So, if the Foley was in place for a long surgery, that part of your bladder might have been super irritated - very common when people wake from surgery for them to feel like they urgently have to pee but the Foley was removed just before wake-up or still in place and actively draining their bladder (so we know the bladder is nearly empty either way).
I've never been in that type of surgery, so idk if they would have even used a Foley, but if yes, that's likely the culprit. If by 'balls destroyed' you mean complete genital conversion to include the penis, then Foley placement would make a lot of sense since that would act as a marker for the urethra's location as incisions around that area obscure anatomic landmarks with blood. The irritation and urge sensation would also make sense, since the Foley would have been handled a lot, making your bladder tissue REALLY angry at that balloon.
If they left the penis alone and only operated on the balls, then /shrug.
Good luck with your recovery, and follow your post op instructions to the letter! That's a high infection chance area, so don't take any risks!

Thanks for the advice. It was just an orchi. I did piss like a horse when I got home but idk if they had a catheter in or not.

Probably no catheter if it was an orchi - they do those for longer surgeries (current hospital's policy is expected duration of 3+ hours - dunno if that's universal) and orchies typically don't go that long, nor would they need a urethral landmark.
...I think my bladder tissue irritation hypothesis was probably not correct.

No but I did think about it. I decided that my balls are better off in the garbage because I hate them so much.
