 last question... what was the cost and/or was it covered under medical benefits?

 It took maybe 15 minutes.  I was advised to take it easy for the next couple of days, but golfed 9 holes the next day with only a little additional tenderness...  Would have been less if I had rented a cart...
As a Canadian it didn't cost me a cent. The procedure is covered.  It's interesting to note that the procedure to reverse it is not covered.
