In Awe

My oldest son (a.k.a. Boy 1) underwent surgery last Thursday to remove his left testicle, and I find it interesting that one of the first questions I'm asked is, "Will it effect his ability to produce children?" Why is that important at the age of thirteen? Sometimes I think our priorities are seriously misplaced. FYI, men only need one to reproduce.

As much as I look forward to being a grandmother (in the very distant future), I was more concerned with the real possibility of losing my son to testicular cancer if we did not proceed with the surgery.

By Friday, Boy 1 was restless and ready to return to his routine. The concept of post op recovery seemed to be lost on him. By Monday, he practically ran out of the door to return to school. Kids, gotta love that bounce back factor!
