Today was the day that I'd been waiting for , that my body had been craving for and my mind had been thinking about . today was the day when the doctors called in to let me know which body part that I would be keeping and which body part would be leaving .

* telephone rings *

Me : hello ?

Other line : hello , chresanto this is docter Smith , im calling in for your results and its sad to say that your testicals will have to be removed due to testicular cancer .

My heart shattered 4 different ways.

Me : okay thanks doc I'll be in tomorrow at 9 for the procedure .

Other line : okay , see you tomorrow.

* phone line goes dead *

I shake my head as I go lie back in my bed ,

a man .... Without testicals ... ?

.....Where do I stand ?
