                      Chapter 10 Operation

Ben ran to the nurse's station, Justin's nurse was doing paper work, as
soon as Ben told her what had happened she paged the Dr. grabbed the
portable phone and hurried to Justin's room.  She found him
unconscious.  Dr.  Owings called a few minutes later the nurse explained
what had happened.

Dr. Owings said "It sound like a strangulated testicle I am going to page
the OR team and I want you to get him ready to go to surgery. "

 When the nurse hung up the phone she looked at Ben who was shaking
with fear and said, " your friend needs to go to surgery why don't you
call your parents and have them come and get you."

She got everything ready for the team to move Justin to the surgery.
Then she checked the file and found that there was no permission slip to
do surgery.  She paged Dr. Owings and told her what the situation was.

"Call his parents and get verbal permission to do the surgery if it is what
I think it is, we don't have much time or he may lose his testicle."

"I'm sorry, but he is under the care of the child protective services. They
need to give the permission. I'm not sure how to get hold of them for
something like this."

 I'll be right there." answered Dr. Owings.

Ben called his parents, and told them what was happening.

"We will be there soon as we can."

 Ben just stood by Justin's face crying.

The nurse gave him a hug and said, " don't  worry your friend will be
fine."

Dr.  Owings rushed into the room and then the nurse and her left the
room.

"We need to get him prepped for the surgery so that we can go ahead as
soon as possible." said Dr. Owings.

She called the surgical team to update them and told them to do
everything they needed to do that wouldn't require permission.  Then she
made several calls, and finally found out that she needed to call Kim, the
child protective worker.  It took a few more minutes to get her number,
before she placed the call.  Kim answered on the third ring and when
informed of the situation gave verbal permission and said she would be
there as soon as she could get there.

Dr. Owings had hooked an oxygen line to Justin and was staying right
with him until the surgical team came to get him.  They slid Justin onto a
gurney and wheeled him to the operating room. Kim placed a call to
Justin's parents home.  When the phone rang at 3:00 am the General
answered like he always did expecting it to be the base.

"Hello is this Phillip Blake?"

"Yes, who am I speaking to?"

"This is Kim Preston, Justin's child protective worker, the hospital has
just rushed Justin into surgery for what they expect is a strangulated
testicle, you are not allowed to come here, but your wife should come
down.  Since Justin is under state care at the moment I gave the
permission for the surgery.  Will your wife be coming?"

"I highly doubt it goodby."

When Kim walked into the waiting room she saw Jon and Betty trying to
comfort Ben.  She had spoken to Dr. Owings and told them it would be
at least an hour before they heard anything.  She also told them that she
had spoken with Justin's father and asked him to ask his wife to come to
the hospital.

 After hanging up the phone Penny asked Phillip,

"who was that, since you are no longer was in the Army."

"Oh just some disgruntled enlisted man trying to give me a hard time.
You can go back to sleep dear."

In the operating room the surgeon carefully opened Justin's swollen
scrotum and found his left testicle was indeed strangulated. He quickly
fixed it and prayed that the blood would still flow. While waiting for that
to happen he checked the right testicle.  The right testicle was slightly
ruptured.  The Dr repaired it and them felt the left testicle.  He looked
down at Justin and quietly thanked God that the testicle was warming up
and returning to normal.

Once he had sewn Justin back up, the team took him to recovery.
The surgeon went to talk with the family. At the nurse's station he asked
to read Justin's chart what he read made his blood boil.  To think that any
father could inflict such damage on his own son was beyond the scope of
his understanding.

"Is anyone from Justin's family here now?"asked the surgeon.

"I don't know about family but one of his friends and the boys parents as
well as the case worker are in the waiting room."

Walking into the waiting room the surgeon saw a boy about Justin's
age sitting with what looked like his parents and sitting a little apart
was a woman.

"I'm Dr. Sullivan, I have just operated on Justin Blake would you like to
hear the results?"

"I'm, Kim Preston Justin's case worker.  What did you find?"

"His left testicle was strangulated, if it had been much longer he would
have loss the testicle .I repaired his right one which was very damaged.
It appears that Justin has just started into puberty. Because; of the
damage he may not continue to develop like he should, he may need
some hormone therapy, but only time will show us for sure.


I want you to know that if you need me to testify as to the damage
done to this boy I would be more than happy to do so.  I just don't
understand how any father could do that to his son.  One thing I am
afraid of, is Justin is most likely to be sterile."


After Dr. Sullivan left Ben began to cry again and said, "how could that
bastard do that to my Justi?"  Kim looked at Ben and realized that there
was more to Justin's and Ben's friendship then that first met the eye.

"I'm going to the recovery area to check on Justin and will be back to let
you know how he is doing."  Kim returned ten minutes later and told
Ben
that Justin was awake but didn't know the extent of what has taken place.
He is asking for you Ben and I got permission for you to go and stay
with him.  If you will follow me I will take you to him."

     When Ben got to the surgical recovery room Justin looked very
young and small lying there on the stretcher.  He was lying there with his
eyes closed Ben walked up to the side of the stretcher and took Justin's
hand in his.  Justin's eyes fluttered open and he gave a little smile when
he saw that Ben was there.  Then he closed his eyes again.

A nurse told Ben, "Justin will sleep until tomorrow afternoon.  After
about two hours Justin was moved back to his room.  It was almost
seven a.m. when Justin was back in his own room and bed.  Ben sat in
the chair by the bed and his head slowly leaned forward until it rested on
the side of the bed and he fell asleep there.

Jon called Don, and updated him on what had gone during the night.
Then he picked up his son and carried him out to the car with Betty.
They drove him home and put him to bed.

Later that morning Kim went before Judge Foster and got approval for
Don and Peg to be appointed as temporary foster parents of Justin Blake.
When she went back to the hospital to check on Justin she asked,

"has Justin's mom been in yet."

" No, he hasn't had any visitor's except for his friend Kyle who was here
yesterday.  He stopped by just for a minute on his way to school.  Kim
was furious that Justin's mother hadn't come in or called.

She placed another call to his home and Penny answered,

"Blake residence Penny speaking."

"Mrs Blake this is Kim Preston I was just wondering why you haven't
been in or called to check on Justin, with him having to undergo
emergency surgery last night.  When I spoke with your husband at three
this morning he said he would let you know about the surgery.  Are you
telling me that he never told you about Justin having surgery?"

"No, the son of a bitch said it was some enlisted man giving him a hard
time."

"Well, Justin had one strangulated testicle that they were just able to
save, the other testicle was ruptured and had to be repaired. Because of
all the damage and the fact that Justin was just starting puberty he may
need hormone therapy to continue going through puberty, and he is
fairly certain that he will be sterile."

"How is he right now?"

"He is still sleeping and doesn't know any of what I have told you.  The
surgeon will tell him with a counselor present this afternoon, when he is
fully awake.  But you may come and see him at any time."

"I will be down in a short time.  I have to speak with my husband first."

 Penny walked into the General's office, he was sitting at his reading
she walked up to him and slapped his face so hard so that he almost fell
out of his chair.

"What to fuck was that for?" bellowed the General.

"You liar that call last night wasn't from some disgruntled soldier, it was
the hospital calling because they were rushing our son into surgery.  You
son of a bitch you caused our son to almost lose one of his testicles and
the other one was ruptured and had to be repaired. The surgeon thinks
there is a good chance that he will be sterile. How could you not tell me
that he was going into surgery.  Do you have any idea how it looked
when I didn't show up.  You need to get out of this house while I am
gone to the hospital, if you don't I will go to the DA's office and make
sure you go to jail for a long time.  I will see you at the counselor's
office on Friday and we will talk then about whether we have anything
left to our marriage."

Ben sleep for six hours straight, then awoke at two pm .  He called the
hospital to try and find out how Justin was doing. All they would tell
him was that he was still sleeping.  He took a shower and then called his
mon at work to see if she might be able to come and take him to the
hospital.

"I just got back from lunch Ben and we are swamped today, I am sorry."

Ben called his dad, "dad could you get away to drive me to the hospital
mom is too busy at work to leave."

"I can't get away until five I'm sorry Ben."

"Could I ride my bike there and when you or mom come to pick me up at
nine tonight; because it is Kyle's turn to stay over night tonight."

"Only if you call me as soon as you get to the hospital, do you promise."

"Ok I'll do that I promise dad."

Ben eat some lunch and than rode his bike to the hospital.  After
arriving he immediately called his dad to let him know he was safe.  He
went up to Justin's room and found his mother sitting in a chair next to
his bed.  She was holding Justin's hand in her's and stroking it.  Ben saw
silent tears rolling down her cheeks.  He walked over to her and laid a
hand gently on her shoulder she looked up at him and then they both
looked at Justin.  When they looked back at each other she motioned for
him to come into the hall.

"Ben did anyone tell you what happened in the operating room last
night?"

"Yes the surgeon told us what your husband did to my Justi"

Penny noted the use of Justi and how close Ben seems to have become
with Justin in a short time.  " I know that I have not been a good mother
to Justin but, I promise you that from now on I am going to do my best
to protect him and love him the way he deserves to be loved."

"I sure hope you mean that because Justin is a very special person and I
don't want to ever see anyone hurt him again."

"You are right, I'm glad that he has such wonderful friends who care so
much about him.  You and Kyle and your parents have shown him more
love than my husband and I ever have.  Do you know about Jeff?"

"Yes, Justin told me about him and how he died."

 "When I became pregnant with Justin my husband and I had thought we
would never have anymore children.  Jeff was so special and I was forty
five years old and Justin's father was forty-eight.  We didn't want to
start with a baby all over again.  We had married late in life and we felt
embarrassed about having a child at our age.  When he was born we
never bonded with him like Jeff.  But, Jeff adored Justin he gave him all
the love we wouldn't.  When he was killed by the drunk truck driver we
blamed Justin; because he hadn't made sure of his ride home from soccer
that day.

The truth is at eight it should have been me making sure of his rides, but
my husband and I pushed Justin as far away from our lives as we could.
After Jeff's death I was in great pain and my husband outright blamed
Justin.  After we got home from the funeral that day he told Justin it was
all his fault and that he would see to it that Justin spent the rest of his
life paying for killing his brother.  I can only imagine how much that
hurt a eight year old boy who loved his big brother and yes worshiped
him.  I should have said something right then, but I was in so much pain
myself that I just walked out of the room.

Justin stood there crying and then he said, 'but daddy it was the truck
that killed Jeff."

That is when I heard a powerful slap as the General hit Justin for the first
time.  The blow was so hard that it knocked Justin to the floor, and I
didn't do a thing."

Penny said as tears freely flowed down her face.  "You see Ben we don't
deserve to have a son like Justin that is why I will do my best to see that
he get to live with a family who loves him and will be there to help him
through the years ahead.  My husband and I will pay all his expenses but
my husband can never have access to Justin again.  I fear he might kill
him for what he made him do.  Last night the child protective worker
Kim Preston called our home when they took Justin into surgery and
Phillip answered the phone.  He told me it was a soldier from the base
calling.  I didn't even know about Justin until 10:30 when Miss Preston
called again and I happened to answer the phone."

"I won't say anything to Justin until after the Dr. talks to him I hope you
are sincere about changing your attitude towards Justin, because it is
long past time that he be loved by you and your husband the way he
should be."

The two of them went back into Justin's room and sat on each side of
his bed.  A nurse came in and began to take Justin's vitals.  As she was
taking his blood- pressure he awoke.  Justin blinked his eyes and looked
from one side of the bed to the other.

He then rubbed his eyes and said. "Ben is that you, my vision is real
blurry and you look like you are under water?"

"Yupper, I'm here and your mom is sitting on the other side of the bed."

Justin turned to the side of the bed where his mom was sitting and said,
"hi mom how long have you been here?"

"I came as soon as I found out that you had surgery.  Kim the child
protective worker called last night when they took you to surgery, but
your father answered, he lied and told me that it was a disgruntled
soldier from the base.  So I didn't know about what had happened to you
until around noon when Kim Preston called and that time I answered the
phone.

What your dad made me very mad and I told him to get out of the house
and if he didn't he would be very sorry.  Right now I am so disgusted
with him that I'm not sure that we have any marriage left."

"You mean you actually threw him out?"

"Yes, and I told him that I didn't want to see or hear from him until
Friday when we have the appointment with Bill Yeater."

"Mom, did the nurse's tell you what they did to me in the surgery last
night.  No they aren't allowed, it has to be the doctor, all I know is
that they said he will be in this afternoon to talk with you. I'm going to
stay here until after he has talked with you."

 Justin fell back to sleep. Penny told Ben that she was going to go and
get a coffee, "can I get anything for you Ben?"

"No, I am fine, thank you."

After walking out of Justin's room Penny thought of one more thing to
say to Ben and opened the door quietly so as to not wake Justin.  She
saw Ben stroking Justin's hand and giving him a gentle kiss on the lips
with all the gentleness of a lover. She backed out of the room and stood
there thinking of what to do now.  She thought if Phillip finds out he will
kill Justin.  I have to make sure Justin never lives at home again.

Justin slept for about two hours and then was awakened when the new
shift of nurse's came to check his vitals.  The new nurse asked Ben and
Penny to step out of the room while she checked Justin's bandages.

Justin looked at the nurse who's name tag said Bev and then he said, "I
want Ben to stay we are close friends and there is nothing that he can't
see."

"If you are sure I guess it will be ok.  Ben are you ok with being in here,
you aren't squeamish are you?"

"No, I'll be fine."

Bev pulled down the sheet covering Justin and looked at the bandages.

Then she covered him back up and said, "everything looks ok there is no
sign of bleeding or any kind of seepage."  Then she left the room.

As soon as she was gone Justin asked Ben, "could you look and see if
you can tell what they did."

 Ben lifted the sheet and looked and then said, "

I can't tell anything you are bandaged I can't even see you dick just the
tube that drains your urine.  Are you in much pain?"

"No, they must have me something that is strong I kind of feel like I'm
floating."

The boys talked about school and sports for a while until Justin
nodded off again.  Penny asked the nurse's desk if they knew when Dr.
Sullivan would be in to talk to them.

"Let me see what I can find out." answered the charge nurse.

A few minutes later the charge nurse came into Justin's room and said
that Dr. Sullivan was called into emergency surgery.  There had been a
very bad auto accident and it was expected to be several hours before he
was free.  It most likely won't be until tomorrow morning before he can
get here.

Ben had brought a book he was reading with him and took it out of his
backpack and begin to read.  The afternoon wore on and soon it was
suppertime.  A tray was brought into Justin's room by Pete again.

"How are you doing tonight Justin?"

"Hi, Pete this is my friend Ben.  Not so good I ended up in surgery at
three this morning and I still don't know what they did to my balls.  The
surgeon is coming in tomorrow morning and letting me know."

"Hope everything works out ok for you Justin. I'll see you tomorrow
night. Nice meeting you Ben."

"Let's see what Pete brought you tonight Justin.  Yuck, jell-O and juice
what they trying to do starve you?"

"You sure that is all they sent, maybe it's someone else's tray?"

"Let me check the menu slip and see what it says.  No it's your tray all
right.  Do you want me to ring the nurse and see if we can get you some
real food?"

"Yea, maybe a cheeseburger and fries, I'm starving I haven't eaten since
last night."

Ben rang the bell and in a few seconds a voice asked what she could do
for him.

"Justin is starving this jell-O and juice isn't going to make a dent in his
teenage bottomless pit.  He wants a cheeseburger and fries with coke."

"I'm sorry, but this is his first meal we don't want him to be sick so
only liquids for tonight.  If he does ok with that tonight than in the
morning we will try him with some toast."

 "You have to be kidding are you trying to starve Justin, hasn't he
suffered enough."

"Sorry bud tell you what I'll call my mom and have her bring us some
McD's real food that sound ok."

"Sounds good to me you know what I like."

"Hey mom can you go to McD's and get us some real food. Justin is
starving and they only brought him jell-O.  Bring a big grocery bag and
put the food in it so the nurse's won't find out.  Ok see you in a half hour.
Love you too."

Justin had Ben dump the jell-O and juice down the toilet and flush it
so the nurse's would think he had eaten all of it.  The nurse came in to
check on him and said, "you did good to eat all your supper and if you
keep it down we will try some toast in the morning."

She then took his tray out of the room. A few minutes later Betty arrived
with a shopping bag that appeared to be stuffed with clothes.

"I hear they don't know what to feed a teenage boy." said Betty as she
pulled the clothes from the bag and handed the boys their food.

"I stand guard outside your door and tell anyone that you are on the
bedpan and don't want anyone in the room."

"You're the greatest mom." said Ben as he gave Betty a hug.

"That goes double for me too." said Justin.

The two boys eat all of their meals and then put all the evidence
back in the grocery bag.  Then Ben opened the windows and let the
smell of the fries be washed away on the peach blossomed breeze.  Ben
opened the door and told his mom to come in.

"Can you smell the food?"

"No, but I sure can smell the peach blossoms there must be an orchard
near by for the smell to be so strong."

"I think there is one just a few blocks to the west of the hospital and
since the wind is blowing from that direction we are in luck, the nurse's
will never know that I had real food." laughed Justin.

"Oh laughing isn't such a good idea after you have had an operation
where I did.  It makes them hurt like crazy."

Betty stayed and visited with Justin and Ben until Peg arrived with
Kyle.  Ben tried to get Kyle alone so he could inform him what Justin's
mom had said.  But Kyle was very excited and wouldn't come into the
hall.

"Justin, Ben you won't believe it but today in court Kim Preston got my
parents appointed a temporary foster parents for Justin so dude you are
coming to live with me."

"You mean it Peg I really am going to live at your house."

"Yes Justin so hurry up and get well so you can start your new life in a
home where you are loved."

Justin, Ben, and Kyle gave each other high five's all around. Then
Betty asked Peg to step into the hall so they could talk for a moment.

"Did you hear anything about what the surgeon found when he operated
last night?"  asked Betty.

"Yes, and it's not good, he was able to untwist his left testicle just in time
to save it.  The other testicle was ruptured and had to be repaired.
Because of all the damage and the fact that Justin was just starting
puberty the surgeon is worried that he may have to go through hormone
therapy to complete puberty.  Also there is a good chance that he will be
sterile."

 Kim told me that what with all the stress that Justin has been under
these past few years it may have delayed his starting into puberty.


"Does Justin know yet?"

"No the surgeon is going to tell him in the morning and a counselor will
be there to help Justin try to adjust.

Once the two mom's had left the room Ben gave Justin a kiss and little
hug and then Kyle filled them in on all that had happened at school that
day.
By the time Kyle had filled them in the two moms came back into the
room.

"Come on Ben you need to get a good nights sleep you have school
tomorrow. Hope you get well fast Justin."

"I have to be going too Justin, Kyle you need your sleep also so lights
out at no later than eleven.  I'll be here to pick you up for school at
seven-thirty."

The two boys watched MTV until eleven p.m. and Kyle brought Justin
his toothbrush and they both brushed their teeth.  Kyle gave Justin a
glass of water and a small basin so he could rinse his mouth.  Before
getting into bed Kyle gave Justin a light hug and told him if he needed
anything to just call out his name and he would wake up.  Then Kyle
turned out the lights at first there was silence, but then Kyle began to
talk about how great it was going to be to have his best friend living with
him.  He told Justin that his mom had already gone out and ordered a set
of bunkbeds that had desks built in for each of them.  Justin lay there
listening to all Kyle was saying and part of him was excited.  But
another part felt empty because that his dad's violence had forced him to
live somewhere other than his home.  The two boys had drifted off to
sleep, when the room light was suddenly turned on and a huge male
nurse came into to the room.  Both boys were awaken and sat up to see
what was going on.

"Hi, I'm Steve and I will be your nurse for tonight." said the nurse.

After he had taken Justin's vital's he said, "I have to check your
bandages don't be embarrassed I have seen plenty of private parts of
both male and female before."

Justin turned his head aside as the nurse checked his bandages.  "There
has been a little seepage which is normal.  But, I will have to change the
bandages.  I will be back in a minutes as soon as I get the supplies that I
need."

As soon as the Steve was out of the room Justin turned to Kyle and said,

"I want you to look and see what it looks like under the bandages and
then tell me."

"Are you sure you want me to do that?"

"Yes, please I need to know."

Steve returned and removed the bandages, and then cleaned the area
with antiseptic.  Kyle watched everything that was going on and could
see where Justin had sutures in his scrotum, other then that he couldn't
tell anything other than that Justin was still very swollen.

After Steve left Justin turned to Kyle and asked, " well what did you
see?"

"Well you still look like you have the biggest set of balls in town.  And
other than a small line where they cut open your scrotum there isn't
anything to see."

After that Kyle turned out the lights and the boys sleep for the rest of
night.  In the morning Kyle took a shower and got ready for school.  He
helped Justin to brush his teeth again and then sat talking with Justin
until his mom arrived to take him to school.

Around eight-thirty Justin mom walked into his room.  Shortly after
that the surgeon and counselor arrived.  The surgeon sat down beside
Justin's bed and explained that one of his testicles had been twisted and
he was just able to save it, also his right testicle had been ruptured and
had to be surgically repaired. There is a possibility that you may be
sterile The thing that concerns me  that for some reason you appear to
just be starting puberty and this may have a bad effect on that
continuing. I know this may be embarrassing but I need to know if you
have ever had a wet orgasm yet."

Justin face turned bright red and he lay there not talking at all.

"Look Justin I need this information so I can help you.  Because with all
the damage that has been done to your testicles I'm not sure that you will
go through puberty without getting hormone shots.  But we won't know
for at least a year.  Do you understand everything that I have told you?"

 "I just started having wet ones a few weeks ago."

Are you saying that I might never get any pubes or be able to have a real
orgasm again?"

"When your testicle have been so damaged you may have to go through
hormone therapy to get your body to complete puberty.  I hope I am
wrong, but I have to let you know that it is a possibility.

"If your testicles don't produce enough hormones you will need
hormone shots to finish puberty."

"What if I waited for several years to see if it would happen naturally,
could I still have the therapy then."

Yes, you can take the hormone therapy at any time, but once you start
you may have to take testosterone for the rest of your life."

The surgeon left and the counselor introduced himself as Tim Plumb.

"Justin I know that what you were just told is a lot to take in, but I am
here to answer any more of your questions, and I will help you to deal
with any psychological problems that might arise because of all that has
happened to you."

Justin looked at his mom and the counselor and shook his head and then
asked them to leave so he could be alone.  After they left he lay in his
bed crying silently.  Soon his sobs became racking and he hurt his
broken ribs.  He slowly cried himself to sleep.  When an attendant
started to bring his lunch tray into his room he screamed to get to fuck
out of his room and take the tray of swill with him.  A nurse came into
the room and he shouted at her also, but she said she couldn't leave until
she had taken his vital's.  Justin tried his best to be uncooperative, but
the nurse soon finished and left the room.

After leaving the room she called Tim Plumb and told him of Justin's
behavior towards the attendant and herself.  He showed up at Justin's
room in just a few minutes.  Justin tried to get him to leave but he
wouldn't.

"Justin I'm sure you are very upset and angry at this accident happening
to
you, but * * * "

"THIS WASN'T ANY ACCIDENT MY FUCKING FATHER MEANT
TO HURT ME HE KICKED ME IN THE BALLS JUST BECAUSE I
WAS PLAYING WITH MYSELF IN THE SHOWER, NOW GET TA
FUCK OUT OF HERE." he shouted.

Tim sat in the chair and tried to speak with Justin.  But he keep yelling
for him to leave the room.  Finally he told Justin that if he didn't calm
down he would have to be sedated.  Justin just keep yelling for Tim to
leave him alone.  Tim left the room and contacted Dr. Foster and
informed him of Justin's condition.  Dr. Foster gave a verbal order to
Justin's nurse to give him a sedative to give him time to calm down.
When she came into Justin's room he started to yell at her and then two
large attendants came into the room and she told him if he didn't calm
down they would have to put him in restraints.  Justin stopped yelling
and the nurse injected the sedative into his IV line.  In a few minutes
Justin felt like he was floating and then he fell into a deep sleep.

Well that is it for another chapter. How will Ben react to the possibility
that Justin might stay a little boy for a long time without hormone
therapy?  What will it be like for Justin to live with Kyle's family. Stay
tuned to next week to see.
