                      Chapter 10 Operation

     Ben ran to the nurse's station Justin's nurse was doing paper work and
as soon as Ben had told her what had happened she again paged the Dr. and
grabbed the portable phone and hurried to Justin's room.  She found him
unconscious.  Dr.  Owings called in a few minutes, 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 so
they need to give the permission and I am 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 going on they told him
they would be there as soon as they could.  Ben just stood by Justin's face
crying.  The nurse gave him a hug and told him not to worry his friend
would 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 call 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 took him to the operating room.  Ben was crying when they
wheeled Justin away.  Everyone else had left the room and he just sat and
prayed, his family wasn't very religious but he knew there was a God and he
prayed and asked him to help Justin.  A few minutes later Jon and Betty
arrived, when they opened Justin's door Ben took one look at them and ran
to their open arms.  They took Ben to the waiting room and were soon joined
by Kim.
     When she had arrived at the hospital she had signed the papers giving
permission for the surgeon's to operate on Justin.  She had then called his
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 one to
two hours before 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 and had gone
without a blood supply for so long that when he opened the supply it
wouldn't circulate through the testicle and therefore they had to remove it
the right testicle was ruptured and had to be repaired.  Once he had sewn
Justin back up and the team had taken him to recovery, the surgeon went to
the ward where Justin had been.  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. Stoner and I have just operated on Justin Blake would you like to
hear the results?"

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

"I had to remove his left testicle and repair his right one which was very
damaged.  It doesn't appear as though Justin had started into puberty yet
which is quite unusual for a boy today but it is very likely that he will
have to undergo hormone therapy if he is ever to go through puberty.  I
want you to know that if you should 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 fairly
certain of is Justin is most likely to be sterile."

     After Dr. Stoner 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 that
Justin would be asleep most of the time 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 call 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 if his mom
had 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 what 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 to have one of his testicles removed last night and the
other one was so badly damaged that the surgeon doubts if Justin will go
through puberty without hormone therapy 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 tomorrow morning, 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 lose one of his testicles and from
what I was just told he is will most likely to 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
of a marriage."
                     * * *
     Ben sleep for six hours straight and awoke at two pm .  He called the
hospital to try and find out about Justin 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.  And
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
an 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
dad answered and lied to me and said, 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 to it has to be the doctor, all I know is
that they said he will be in tomorrow morning to talk with you.  I will
come in early tomorrow morning so I can be there when the doctor comes in."

     By then Justin had fallen back to sleep.  Penny told Ben that she had
to go and asked him to tell Justin that she loved him and had to go home
and take care of things.  Ben sat beside Justin's bed and stroked his hand.

     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 sleep 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 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.  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, jello 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 jello 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 and 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 jello.  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 jello 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.

      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 had to remove one of Justin's testicles and the
other one was ruptured very badly.  They repaired it but are afraid that
without hormone therapy Justin won't go through puberty, it seems that for
some reason he hasn't started into puberty yet.  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 to what his life may be like. Kim also
told me that the surgeon thinks it most likely that Justin will be
sterile."

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 he had to remove one of his testicles and
that the other one was so damaged that he would most likely be sterile.
"The thing that concerns me the most right now is that for some reason you
show no signs of entering into puberty and your testicle hadn't dropped
much .  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?"

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

"Yes, but if it turns out that your one testicle isn't producing enough
testosterone to have your body go into puberty then you will need hormone
shots so can go into puberty."

"What if I waited for several years to see if it would happen naturally,
could I still have the therapy to go into puberty?"

"Yes, you can take the hormone therapy at any time, but once you start you
will 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 from the sobs.  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."

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
