Former Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee took to Twitter on Friday and asked his followers if they'd be interested in a running account of his visit to the doctor's office.

Getting a vasectomy today.....should I live tweet (obviously no videos, weirdos)?

The people have spoken, giving their resounding support to the live updates.

Looks like it’s a gooooo

Scobee's first concern? Icing the kicker.

Hope his hands aren’t too cold

And with that, Scobee was summoned off the bench and into the game.

Nurses are out of the room now. Glad my wife doesn’t have Twitter

Scobee got clearance from the nurse for his Twitter escapade...

Asked the nurse if I could have my phone to tweet the experience. She says “whatever floats your boat”

... but it doesn't sound like he ran it by his wife.

Scobee made 235 field goals in his 11 years with the Jags. Here's hoping the doctor is similarly cool under pressure.

Doc better have a steady hand

Turns out the doc is a football fan.

Doc is finally in the room. First thing he says is “Were you at the Jags game last night?”

— Josh Scobee (@JoshScobee10)August 23, 2019

Can we talk about that later?

— Josh Scobee (@JoshScobee10)August 23, 2019

With the focus of a professional athlete, Scobee was keeping his eyes on the prize.

Don’t look down. Don’t look down. Don’t look down.

Scobee made 80 percent of his kicks as a pro, but he needs the doctor to have 100 percent accuracy. He hears the words he fears most.

The nurse makes a little small talk with the father of two, who is ensuring he'll remain a father of two.

Nurse- “How many kids do you have?”

Me- “2 boys”

Nurse- “didn’t want to try for a girl?”

Me- ????

Every football player needs a good cheerleader. As we near the end zone, Scobee gets some moral support from former Jaguars mascot Curtis Dvorak.

And now@CurtisDvorak just FaceTimed me lol

Finally, he hits paydirt. Time to hit the showers.

Aaaaand we’re done. Yet I’m still laying here naked hahaha

— Josh Scobee (@JoshScobee10)August 23, 2019

After a day of recovery, Scobee thanked the doc for a job well done.

Thanks to@YourUroDoc and everyone at the McIver Clinic for the good work! Very professional and made the process as easy as possible.
