Day 20,063

Good evening, my future grandchildren. Tonight I’m going to explain to you  why you are a miracle.

Yeah. No shit.

So, back in the summer of 1983, I was living in Wichita, working two jobs to get through the summer. I worked at a paper warehouse during the day, pulling $5.75 an hour, which, believe it or not, was a pretty decent wage for college student just trying to get by, and I also had a part-time job as a “floorwalker” (read that as “bouncer”) at Pogo’s in Wichita (21st and Amidon) in the evenings a few nights a week.

Sometime in July, I was out a Crystal Lake, a little place where the young folks would hang out. There was an interesting construct on the lake, with diving boards and a couple of swings that would go out over the lake.

So, one of these times, my friend Gene Schulz and I were chicken-fighting on the swings, I pulled him off, but he grabbed my legs around his shoulders on the way down.

We hit the water.

I got racked.

I mean, it felt bad. It was unusually bad.

After I got over the initial impact, I still felt was something was wrong.

I felt around my personal space, and it was at that time that I realized that there was something abnormal about my right testicle.

To make a long story short, I ended up finding out I had two different kinds of cancer, and I’ll be damned if I can’t remember the names right now. Ah, Embryonal carcinoma, and Teratoma. Thank you, Wikipedia.
