My four year old son is having surgery to fix his undescended testicles
this coming Monday (November 4).  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.
