I was walking through a local Shopping Mall, and paused in front of a small shop that sells uniforms. In the window was a mannequin dressed in a green surgical scrub suit. As I looked at the window's reflection of a tall man with a grey beard, my mind flowed back to the Summer of 1973, when I had an encounter with an incredible woman.
When she entered a room, everyone was immediately aware of her presence. Heather was tall and walked with the quiet grace that comes from earned self-confidence. Certainly not the slim body of a super model, but yet the flair of her hips were understated in comparison to her long graceful legs and her breasts were comfortably proportional to her slender frame. But all of those thoughts receded into the background the moment you saw her face. Her angular features with those high cheekbones were dominated by dark brown eyes, and framed by shoulder length jet-black hair that made her flawless complexion sparkle like pink porcelain. Her smile was warm, but muted, and as she walked into my room, I could sense her warmth and I was at ease despite the fact that Heather Carlson, RN was here to prepare me for surgery.
She came into my hospital room humming softly and pushing a cart. She closed the door and looked into my eyes, smiled and said " Hi, Bobby."
I looked into my sister's eyes and I was speechless. She smiled back and said "sure is a small world isn't it. We can catch up on old times, but right now we need to get you ready for tomorrows surgery."
She pulled aside my sheet and in a soft voice said " let me help you take off your pajama bottoms". Still maintaining eye contact, she slipped the fabric past my ankles, but when she looked down, her professional demure slipped a little and she whispered " Oh My God, that is a big one".
I know what you are thinking, but I must admit that I am really quite average, and what impressed my sister was not my penis, which she had seen before, but a scrotum that would have been the envy of an Angus Bull. The small holes on the abdominal wall that are supposed to heal shut after a baby's testacies have moved into their protective sack, had opened and over the last year, my scrotum was stretched as it slowly filled with fluid. I first noticed the heaviness after returning from my tour in South East Asia. I did not say anything because the Army does things as it's own pace, and I did not want my discharge held up, maybe for months while they got around to taking care of non-emergency surgery. Luckily the doctor who performed my discharge physical let me pass with a stern lecture about getting it taken care off right away.
Repairing a Hydrocele is a simple procedure that closes the holes again, and if I had followed orders, the doctor would have taken care of me at the outpatient clinic. To save time and expense, I would have been asked to shave myself, and make sure that my bowels were cleaned out the night before. But gaining admission to Law School was more important, and I did not have a girl friend to nag me about the fluid's progress. So, I put off seeing a doctor until I was at the point that he wanted to hospitalize me just in case other problems came up. And that is why I was laying on that bed, with a pad under my butt, and a beautiful nurse was preparing to shave off all my hair from my belly button to half way down my legs.
She slipped on a pair of gloves, smiled and said " let me start by softening you up a bit." She covered me with a hot wet towel that felt nice, and at least for the moment helped to cover my growing embarrassment. I was able to keep my emotions under control until the towel came back off and she started rubbing shaving cream on my scrotum and thighs. When her hand swept up around above my penis, to my pubic hair, I could no longer suppress the erection.
I blushed a little but she gently tapped the head with her finger and then smiled and said " we need to leave that until later." I immediately went limp and seeing that razor in her hand was enough to keep me down for the rest of the shaving. I did not even respond when she gently lifted my penis a couple of times to get to the last few hairs.
She rinsed the last of the soap with a wet cloth, and after admiring her handiwork, she smiled and said " I'll bet you are happy that it is warm outside." I was starting to relax but then I heard her say " well I guess it is time for the enema."
