I don't have much to add to Watoosa's account of today's journey. I'll just ask for help solving the big mystery of the trip thus far: Why are there so many interstate billboards advertising Vasectomy Reversals? Seriously, I stopped counting at twenty.
That mystery in turn raises an even larger one--Why do they offer money-back guarantees?!

They have to advertise "money back" guarantees b.c. insurance doesn't pay for such surgery. If one is going to pony up to have one's scrotum cut on, then you want your urologist to do it right. If they do it wrong, you at least want your money back.
That being said, vasectomy reversals are by no means 100% effective.
BTW, Angela from HSV was in town this past weekend with her daughters. She passed along a hello to ya.

For sure, but using that offer as a selling point just reminds me of the possibility of failure. It erases the facade of scientific expertise and draws attention to the whole economic side of medicine.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing--it's just weird to see medical procedures marketed with techniques ordinarily associated with used cars and "As Seen on TeeVee!!" offers.
My favorite detail the billboard sometimes use is "no scalpel".
How in the world are they going to get to this vas deferens [tubes that carry sperm from testicles to urethra] w/o a scalpel?
