This spring not only marks our sons Junior year in college but it also marks the anniversary of his car accident. Our son was home for Spring Break and was out with my wife for a mother and son day. They had just finished lunch and were heading home when the accident happened. My wife was driving that day and was stopped at a 4 way stop. Traffic was light so she did a quick glance to make sure the intersection was clear before pulling forward. She got about halfway through the intersection before another car ran their stop sign and t-boned my wife's car on the passenger side. They plowed into the passenger side of the car going about 40 mph.
I was at work when I got the call that my wife and son were in a car accident and in the hospital. My wife had some bumps and bruises but our son had taken the brunt of the impact. I did not recognize him laying in the hospital bed all bandaged up. His right arm was broke, several of his ribs were broken and his right leg was fractured. He spent a week in the hospital before they discharged him to home care. My wife took an extended leave from her job so she could take car of him. She felt so guilty, even though it wasn't her fault she still felt like she could have done something more. It was a full time job taking care of him, between medications and emptying bed pans there was always something that needed attention. We put a baby monitor in his room so we could hear his call for help anytime of the day.
One day she mentioned to me that she was having trouble getting the urine tube in place because his dick kept getting hard every time she tried to move it into position. It had been almost a month since the accident so hasn't been able to masturbate and relieve himself, I'm sure his dick was aching for relief. I knew it must had been painful, his scrotum was swollen and turning shades of blue, like a bruise.
Of course my wife had to google "swollen blue testicles" and was directed to sites about blue balls, causes and tips for relief. The top suggestion was to increase the frequency of masturbation. He wasn't capable of jerking off because of his arm was in a cast and his broken ribs kept him from any type of bending. He was pretty much stuck laying on his back in his bed or propped up on some pillows.
I know we were both thinking it, but neither of us would say it out loud.
"Do you honestly think it would help?" she asked.
"Honestly? Yes." I replied.
