And LISTEN to your doc when they tells you to hold off for a while before heading back to the firing line. That essentially pressure-tests the cautery - you want to let that heal a bit beforehand. Trust me there.

100% this. I had mine done 8 years ago. The doc said 72 hours without any strenuous activity, especially *that* strenuous activity, but we only made it about 36 hours before curiosity got the best of us, and that was a non-fun experience and set back my recovery a few more days.
