I am worried about various and sundry things (like the dangers of general anaesthetic, the possibility of complications, etc, etc, ad nauseum). Has anyone out there had experience with this surgery with their sons? Can anyone give me an idea of how long it will be before he recovers fully? My doctors (family practitioner and urologist) both say "it won't take long, kids are pretty resiliant." My husband and I both plan take time off next week to stay home with him. Should a week do it? Thanks in advance for any wise words or advice anyone can provide.
