Mom finally gets her turn

Mom gets her way

Little Mikey has been teased most of his life for being a lanky small framed Boy. He has always been the smallest in his class. For a long time we were even able to let him order from the kid’s menu, even after he passed 12, because his body just was not maturing like other boys his age. His dad and I didn’t really think too much of it. We figured he’d eventually hit a spurt and take off.

But by the time he turned 12 or so, he became more private around his dad and I. I guess that was to be expected. After all, a boy’s body starts to change and I guess most boys become somewhat self conscious. I’ll also admit I had wondered from time to time with his small frame and immature body, if his genitals were developing at the same speed as his body. I tried not to let those thoughts linger though.

Just before his 15th birthday, Mikey started to feel some discomfort in his private area. His dad took a look at him, and he could feel a little lump near one of Mikey’s balls. So we took him to the doctor. Quite naturally Mikey didn’t want me in the room for the exam, so I stayed in the waiting room. Well, they discovered Mikey had a hernia and it would have to be surgically repaired.

My little boy?? Surgery? But if that’s what had to be done, then I would be okay with it.
After the surgery, which didn’t take but a couple hours, the doctor gave us some post-op instructions on how to take care of him once we got home. Mikey would be somewhat incapacitated for a few days, maybe even a week or longer. Sure enough, we got him home and as the pain meds wore off, Mikey could hardly move without hurting.

He lounged in a pair of loose fitting gym shorts and nothing else. He did have a blanket he’d cover with at times. He laid on the sofa during the afternoon. His dad took care of his needs for the first couple days but then had to return to work. We had already discussed that I would have to take over helping him and we had promised to help him keep his dignity as much as possible.
