  Here goes...euthanized

  When Cota ( Now age 20 ) was just two moths old, he was diagnosed with a double hernia and was scheduled for surgery. I was just a mere 17 years old myself and scared silly. On the day before his surgery, I had an appointment to meet with the Anesthesiologist to discuss the roll he would be playing in the surgery, what to expect etc... I remember the day vividly... Cota was dressed in the cutest little baseball themed Onesie, it even had an adorable matching baseball cap. I walked through the hospital corridors trying to locate the right office. Every one kept stopping me to ooh and ahh about how adorable Cota was. All I could think about was the dangers of the surgery and how Cota's being premature made it even more dangerous for him to be anesthetized. By the time I found the office, I was a bundle of nerves.

  I pecked on the office door and soon was staring the Anesthesiologist in the face. I quickly blurted out, " Hello, I am Mrs. XX. I'm here to discuss having my son euthanized tomorrow. Without missing a beat, the Anesthesiologist said, " Gee lady, I don't think we need to go that far! Totally embarrassing, but a great ice breaker!
