My son is 23. A year ago the army called to let me know Craig got hurt in Afghanistan but was expected to recover after several surgeries and lengthy rehabilitation. His helicopter crashed in a fierce storm. Then they called a month ago wanting to know if Craig could come to my home to stay and get his outpatient treatments at a local facility. I quickly agreed and was thrilled for the reunion.
A week later a medical transporter brought Craig home, and others came by to make his bedroom ready for him and the treatment people who came to the house. I'm talking about a special hospital bed and equipment cabinets and a fridge for his meds. My baby looked a lot better than I expected though I had seen plenty of photos already.
It was so good to see Craig, and we spent the first day chatting and laughing and greeting lotsa old friends and neighbors come to see Craig. Some of his meds were for pain, some for other problems. Me and his daddy worked but I came home at lunch, sometimes, to check on Craig, and it was on one such visit I caught Craig and the home healthcare worker having sex. I freaked and made the woman leave.
When I walked into his room, Craig was laying on the bed with the bedspread pulled over him and there was this big rise in the spread right in his crotch area. I sat on the edge of the bed, to admonish him for what I saw. He asked me if I could get him an ice-pack, first.
I felt his head but he didn't have a fever.
"I ain't gotta fever, momma, I got a major erection that's making me crazy. Maria was helping me with the problem when you chased her away. She get's paid to do that."
I admit I was stunned by what he said.
"It's the meds, Momma, they're fulla steroids and similar stuff, and steroids are mostly testosterone. Testosterone is supposed to rebuild my muscles and such. The doctors make it sound like a wonder drug, but it also makes me horny all the time, and gives me constant erections. I'd show you but you probly don't wanna see."
"Can't you, you know, get relief by, you know..."
"Masturbation?"
I nodded my head.
"It made my skin raw. I can do it for a little bit then it hurts too much. With a woman I don't get the abrasions."
"How often do you need relief?" I asked.
"At night, but not so much as during the day."
"Okay, I guess I jumped to conclusions. I'll call and have them send Maria back."
Maria returned the next morning, and things got back to normal for a few days, till she quit the agency and they had no one to replace her but guys.
"No guys, Momma!"
I talked to the agency but they said the law is the law, and Craig hadda use whoever they sent.
"No guys, Momma!"
I talked to the agency people again but they refused to pay for any females we knew, willing to do the therapy with Craig. And me and Riley didn't have the extra money to pay anyone to take care of Craig three times a day.
I talked to my best friend, Irma, about the problem. She wanted to see Craig.
Craig pulled the sheet off to reveal the top of his thigh and we got an eye full of him.
