Happy day before Thanksgiving

Well boys and girls I have a presentation today. ICK. I really don't do well public speaking. I can do it, I just don't like it and then I start to ramble because I am nervous, and then well I probably make an ass outta myself. Today's topic was to be a book that you liked or could relate to. My subject is extremely controversial and I have to explain it to a bunch of 18 year olds that giggle when you say penis in a sentence. I picked this subject because My son was born with a major deformation in his genitials and basically he can pee, there isn't anything there. It has become a major issue around our home because he is due for another surgery at the Mayo and my son is scared shitless. He has had 5 already to try and fix it but to no avail. The doctors say he probably won't ever have kids and very unlikely to ever experience a woody. Why am I telling you all this? I don't know. Isn't it amazing how you can look at someone and just "don't know a damn thing about that person"? I am having one of my mornings and I was just thinking have good I have it. My son on the other hand got the short end of that stick. I left his dad because he blamed me for the problem with the genitals. saying it was my fault, and for a short time I actually believed that. Anyways to make a long story short this book I picked was a true story about a freak accident at a hospital and the parents opted to give their son a transgendered operation because at the time the Mayo Hospital didn't have the technology or knowledge or foresight to be able to help this family. And they turned their boy into a girl and this story was just heart breaking. Well I was faced with the same dilemma. The doctors told me it would have been 'easier' (easier for who I wondered at the time) to make my son into a girl and give him hormones for the rest of his life. But I just couldn't do it. This book was one of the reasons why. Playing god with someone else's life is really a terrible experience. I don't recommend it!! Well I am off to campus to talk about something dear to me and I feel sick...Have a nice day
