Chapter 55

Selena's Sunday morning dream made her sleep serene. It was of the simple life she and Joe would share someday. It was idyllic in her sleep thought, as if floating on a cloud where making each other happy and enjoying their children were the only chores. What made it seem even more real was the gentle calling of her name as Joe tried to wake her.

"Selena,... Selena? Essy, are you awake? I need some help." Joe whispered as he gentle rubbed her hip.

Suddenly she startled. "What! Is everything OK?"

"Yes, yes, calm down; so sorry to wake you but I can't reach my bottle and I have to go real bad. I'm afraid I'll fall out of bed if I try to reach for it."

Selena slipped out of bed and went to Joe's side and discovered the bottle wasn't emptied from the last time he used it.

"Oh Pew Pew Joseph. Hold on for another minute and let me empty and rinse this out." She said as she ran across the room to the bathroom.

She still wasn't wearing any clothes from the night befores romp and ride. Joe followed her form in and back to his bedside. If his penis wasn't already erect from the morning urge, her tight little body prancing in his sightline solidified it.

"Just in case I never told you, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on, and I'm never going to be able to pee anywhere but straight up in the air on my back. Hold my leg steady while I roll on my side."

Joe rolled to keep his repaired leg on top while Selena held it so it wouldn't fall away to either side. On his side he slipped his hardness into the bottle and let fly a long pee. Selena went and got a wipe to tidy him while he finished to give him his privacy. She took the bottle away and let him fall to his back as she set it on the stand beside the bed. She dabbed him clean but continued to hold and manipulate him.

"Do you mind if the "most beautiful woman you've ever seen" plays a bit with her favorite toy. GOD! I can't believe how hard it is and how good it feels in my hands. As good as it felt inside me last night, in my hands it has a power." She said as she stroked it and then hugged her face to it.

"Oh my God, what am I going to do with you gone? My sweet Essy you love me so good and so much." Joe asked anticipating the relief she was going to give him.

"We'll get by just like we always have Joey, with the memory of our love and the promise of our future. I don't like it anymore than you, but we have to stick to the plan. My mouth will make sweet love to you this morning because my pussy is sore from riding him so hard last night, plus I think my period is due. But I know I want this and I want you to have me. We'll have to be sure to make a date for our last time before your surgery."

Joe's mind raced ahead to his surgery details. No ejaculations for 3 days prior and then none for a month, maybe more, after. Unless he could have it easy with a simpler vasovasostomy procedure, he was going to be in the hospital for a few of those days. Dr. Nikko suspected he would do a vasoepididymostomy procedure, which is more invasive. When Nikko makes the initial incision he will determine which procedure he will do by checking the fluid in the vas (vas deferens). Normally there wouldn't be any hospital overnight stay, but Dr. Payne insisted because of his delicate knee and the extra tenderness and restriction he might feel with the latter procedure.

Suddenly Joe was shaken back to reality from his surgical stress as Selena's warm mouth fit over the head of his cock, her lips locking behind the corona rim and her tongue lapping at the mass. Her hands busied themselves caressing his balls and stroking his shaft. She had said she would make love to him with her mouth and she truly was. Selena looked up to him many times before rolling her eyes in her own disbelief in her pleasure. Joe could tell by the stutter of her hand and the sudden awkwardness of her mouth that she was cumming spontaneously. As his own excitement rose a tear came to his eye at her display of love. Despite being orally teased and then thoroughly fucked 6 or 7 hours before, he felt this new orgasm quickly rising. She sensed and then tasted his sudden leap toward orgasm and began using her mouth to plunge down on him.

As Joe heard the muffled squeals from the back of her throat he thought of the similarities of the many times he had fucked her, she lying passively while he plunged into her drawing both of their climaxes out together. Now he was the passive recipient about to experience both her and his own orgasm. The comparison seemed so obvious, but here the frankness of the animal lust made the idea glow white hot in his head. With no warning his balls began to churn and he felt his climax rising and all he could do was watch as if it were a separate entity. Pleasure gripped him as her mouth popped off just as his first charge left his body. Cum splashed in a long line up the side of her nose across her forehead and into her hair. The next shot ricocheted from the edge of her lip to her cheek just before she got her mouth back over the tip to accept the rest of his gooey discharge.

Her sucking mouth in concert with her thumbs and fingertips worked the rest of his ejaculation into her hungry mouth as she tasted and swallowed his love juice. When she knew his sensitivity was peaked she released the pressure of her mouth and drew away to look at his sexual reverie.

"I love you, my sweet Joseph. I'm sorry I missed some but I was going to tell you to give me your cum when it just exploded." She said as she pulled a glob from the side of her nose near her eye and licked it from her finger.

Their reverie was broken by the clang of pots and pans in the kitchen.

"Oh God, there's Mom and I promised to help her make Farmer Breakfast for you. I better jump in the shower." She said as she bounced up from the bed and got some knee length flannels boxers to slide onto Joe. She pulled the covers up before kissing him.

"I'll get you dressed for breakfast and into your chair as soon as I'm done. I'll give you a bath later. I love you." She whispered as she ran into the bathroom.

"Wait! Let me see your face."

"Why! You think that's sexy?"

"I don't know, I never did it to anyone who didn't ask for it."

"Joe, that's more information than I needed. It was sort of sexy, but I like it where I can taste you. It smells sexy, but I can feel it running and it's creepy. Let me clean up." Selena said as she turned back to the bath and slipped in.

When Joe saw her ass walk away he was jealous of the shower. He wanted to be in there to wash and feel her against him, fill his hands with the cheeks of her ass. He had cum twice with her in the last 8 hours and once in the last 5 minutes and he was horny for her already. He began to doze when she came out of the bathroom, still naked. He feigned a bit a sleep and watched her quietly slip a cropped sweat top over her combed out wet hair. She took a thong from the drawer and held it up to open before she stepped into it. She put the hip hugging sweats her Mom had worn the day before and slipped a shiny silk robe over everything. She went to the kitchen and returned with her Mom and Dad.

"Mom you take his bad leg, Dad and I can handle the rest now that he can help a little." She said as she wheeled and locked the hospital bed into position.

The move was made smooth and Selena said she could handle everything from here and "not to let anything burn in the kitchen. I'll be right out."

She wheeled his chair beside the bed, locked the wheels and prepared it for getting him in. She bent and hugged both of his thighs together and began to help turn his lower body a bit to help him turn out towards the chair.

"Come on you perverted old man,... hmmmmm, watching young girls getting dressed. I don't know about you." She laughed as she lowered his leg into the tray and set the hydraulics in motion to begin to move him out.

"My Mom says you can stand on the one leg with the bar, that's good. Let me get your sweatpants on your feet and you can stretch while I get them on you." Selena said as she held a long sleeve t-shirt open for him to get into.

"You mean you'll stop dressing me Nurse Nancy?" He chuckled.

"Be careful, remember it's me who keeps you from shitting your pants."

"Touche." Joe responded as she rolled him under the a-frame and they got his pants on.

Betty greeted them as they went into the kitchen and told them Scott had just left to go get Lucy and Jeromy. Joe wheeled up to the table to his coffee and quickly noticed the light blinking on the phone.

"Damn, we missed a message yesterday. Must have been when we dozed off Betty." Joe said leaving Betty somewhat quizzed.

How did HE know they both napped at the same time yesterday? Had he heard her masturbate? Was he kidding?"

Selena hit the message button and they all listened.

"Hello, this message is for Joe Johnson. Dr. Payne would like to see you Monday at his office in Clifton Park at 2:30. Your physical therapist wants to graduate you to a regular schedule after seeing you this week. Comfort Wheels has you tentatively scheduled for pick-up on Monday and then in home therapy on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Monday and Dr. Payne will do a re-check on the 26th at 10:00 o'clock. If you check out OK you'll see the therapist 2 more times before your surgery with Dr. Nikko. Comfort Wheels has a rep at the Medical Center and he'll be with you for the surgery and afterward. I've typed everything out for you with instructions and I'll give it to you when you stop on Monday. See you Monday Joe."

"Well, I guess that answers a lot of questions. I was wondering if the therapist wasn't happy with my progress, despite what he said." Joe said with a bit of relief.

"I'll go with you, right?" Betty wondered.

"Of course, I need someone to hold my hand." Joe chuckled.

A few moments later Scott was back with Lucy and Jeromy and they all had a filling breakfast before Jeromy was the first to leave to get settled into his dorm for the new semester.

After a sponge bath for Joe, Selena and Lucy were off to the dorm to report they were on campus and in possession of their schedules. They both had studying as well as reading they needed to catch up on. Selena had been a good influence on Lucy for study habits and for her "at all costs" attitude.

Selena would see Joe for less than an hour each day the following week and stayed with him on Friday going into Saturday. It was Joe's last chance to use his old plumbing before he would remain abstinent until Dr. Nikko gave him the OK to resume. Between Selena becoming engrossed in her final semester studies and Joe stressing a bit over the surgery they were not the usual extra passionate couple they normally were.

Joe's February 1st surgery date hung heavy on his spirit, wanting to just get it over with. Selena did not dwell on the procedure and it's ramifications with Joe as if to appear neutral on its outcome. It helped Joe keep his battle within him rather than let it become a bone of contention between them.

She called him the night of the surgery but he was too drugged up to speak at the time. Tuesday she called for him twice at the hospital and missed him on each, only leaving messages with her mother or father. Once he was home late Tuesday he slept late into the evening only waking to complain of pain and wanting relief. Selena had a stock market study lab on Wednesday evening and wouldn't see Joe until her first class break on Thursday afternoon. So when the phone rang early Wednesday morning Joe knew who the caller was.

Joe only said "hi" into the phone before they both began to cry.

"I didn't think I would EVER get through to you, you know I called, right?"

"Of course, your parents gave messages, but you have to know I was out of it pretty good."

"How are you feeling now?"

"Pretty good, but still sore. Your Mom is keeping iced gel-packs rotating for me, but you should see all the ways the therapist is bending and moving my knee! Dr. Payne is going to start them coming everyday the rest of the week and I may try to stand on it by Monday and light walking by Friday." Joe said excitedly.

"Wait, where is my Mom putting the gel-packs?"

"Between my legs, where else?"

"You're covered aren't you?"

"Selena, this is medical, not sexual, and your little friend isn't interested in ANYONE right now. I think the little fellow is pissed off at me at this point. Your Mom has been a great nurse and a lot better than having a stranger taking care of me. I'm in the home stretch with my knee and I've got 27 days until I can test out my other equipment." Joe reassured her.

"I guess I'm just a little envious of the fact she is taking care of you, not me."

"I KNOW if you could be here, you would. Remember our plan and we're right on schedule."

"Did Dr. Nikko give you any indication if he thought if it was a success?" Selena asked hopefully.

"He only said that he didn't see anything to make him think it wasn't a good reattachment and he knows I'm still making swimmers."

Selena did the best she could to jump for joy without showing her joy over the phone as Joe always cautioned her about over-optimism over the whole thing.

"That's the best we can hope for, now we can only wait." She responded.

"You're going to wait me out aren't you? We'll both stay celibates?" Joe asked.

"Of course as we agreed. Joe, can I tell you something from my heart? The sex is wonderful and fulfilling and the second most pleasure in my life. The most pleasure in my life is you, being with you, laughing with you and being the other half of us." Selena said with a quiver in her voice.

"I wish you were here to touch and hug and hold. You are the most amazing woman. You make me so happy and just when I don't think you can make me any happier, you do. I love you." Joe said breaking down as well.

"Shit, I just CAN'T get there tonight unless I come after 10 and I want you to get your rest. I have a break tomorrow after noon until 3 and I'll be there." She promised.

"The therapist will be here then; you'll see how well I can move it, even on my own. It's getting stronger and I remember the promise you made the first night we got back here." Joe said rolling his eyes to himself in the darkened room.

"What promise was that?" She wondered.

"When I was strong enough so I could stand behind you I could have that little hiney, as you call it." Joe chuckled.

"Oh, you naughty boy. Be careful, you might get things going down below with talk like that." She warned him.

"I know, but I can hardly forget a promise like that."

"Well, neither can I. I can't wait to give you your promise." She pined.

The clock in the bedroom chimed for 8 o'clock and Selena heard it through the phone.

"Damn, eight already. I've got an 8:15 so I have to go. I'll think of you all day long. I'll try to call you before I get there tomorrow, but you know I'll be thinking of you. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you!" She sang before hanging up to rush off.

Selena left for class with a little tingle in her carriage as she thought about her promise. When he took her that way he owned her in every way. She could feel him deep and full inside her very core. He usually, at one point, laid right on her flat on the bed, his arms crossed beneath her, his hand full of her breasts, his mouth on her neck or her ear. He barely moved within her, but his moans and grunts proved the pleasure her core brought to him. Bundled in her heavy coat as she walked swiftly across the quad she felt her face turn red from the heat of the thought. Twenty seven more days without sex was going to make the 28th a wild one. She could do it for Joe.

Back in his bed, Joe longed for the day his cock would again fill with blood and he could satisfy his urges for Selena. Right now, however, the surgery and the ice gel-paks kept the monster at bay. He reached down to check the coolness in his groin and knew Betty had changed his ice during the night, in his sleep. He was past the embarrassment when she changed the dressing in his incision or gave him a sponge bath, or even helped him onto the toilet.

Betty herself was just getting into the shower to wash and rinse Scott's cum off her back. She woke up randy and heard Scott in the shower. When he stepped out she met him with the towel to dry him off. However the special attention she paid to his cock and balls went beyond drying, as she wet both with her mouth and then turned and bent over the sink. It was a quick fuck, but a satisfying one for her. She experienced a little frustration taking care of Joe and seeing his "equipment", even though it was a non-sexual way. Now while she showered Scott was getting a cup of coffee to go from the auto-brew coffee maker and he was on his way.

Joe must have dozed off again because he next thing he knew there was a cool wet washcloth wiping his face.

"Wake up sleepyhead Joe. We have lots to do today before the therapist comes in at ten. We have to get you into the chair and feed you and get you washed up and shaved, and other personal things you might need to do."

"Oh God, I'm awake Betty. I talked to Selena an hour ago and I must have dozed again. Didn't you hear the phone ring?"

"No, I might have been in the shower with Scott." She said with a little grin and chuckle.

Joe shook his head and smiled saying "Good for you!"

Betty peeled back the covers on the hospital bed and removed the ice pack from Joe and moved the chair in place. She had the moves down by rote for moving Joe into the wheelchair. Once he was resituated and re-iced he was off to the kitchen for coffee and his first big decision of the day; what's for breakfast?

"You know Betty, I feel like I could stand right up and walk right now. What do you think of that?" He asked.

"I think I could kick your butt if you tried. Orders from my little Selena. Now tell me how you want your eggs, I'm having soft boiled with toast."

"That sounds good for me too, and you know I won't try anything stupid with my knee. I just said I feel like I could." Joe insisted.

This had begun a series of days that would seemingly meld together into a blur for Joe. He hadn't realized how much he missed having people live with him like a Mom and Dad. The restrictions they put on him made him feel controlled, but he was determined to let his knee heel as well as possible and the push he got from Betty and Scott was helpful. Once Selena got back to school Joe slept mostly in the hospital bed and the extra help that would stop by from PolyTech was no longer needed. Joe fell into a strict routine of sleeping, eating, therapy, computer buying and selling of stocks, and exercise. He was seeing Selena for an hour most every day and she would sleep over at least a couple nights a week. Little by little he was having spontaneous erections and they were getting more and more firm. The ache from his testicles became less frequent and Dr. Nikko stopped all the ice treatments so he might begin normal sperm production. His mind and his body were beginning to work in concert as far as desire went and every time he was with Selena is was getting more difficult to resist the urge. His appointment with Dr. Nikko was now a few days away. He would ejaculate into a specimen cup and wait for the results. It would not be the definitive thumbs up or down on the success of the operation, but it would serve as setting a baseline for future tests. Best of all, he could begin to have sex as long as Nikko saw no problems.

When Dr. Payne first discussed the TeeFix surgery he told Joe 6 to 12 week's for recovery and it was beginning to look like 8 weeks for limited unsupervised walking to start. One thing Joe knew was that after all this inactivity he would have to work hard to get his forty-something body back to the state it was in. Except for the arthritis and a few other aches, Joe could always pass as a late twenties ex-jock. Those things had changed.

His March 1st appointment with Dr. Payne showed lots of progress having practiced walking with a walker a few times with no pain or problems. Today the latest and last version of the splint was coming off as well as all the bending restrictions from his leg. Payne took him into a PT room in his suite. He parked the wheelchair just inside the door and set up a walker.

"Walk, as normal as you can between the support corrals." Payne told his letting Joe get up from the chair on without help.

Joe stood tentatively and took hold of the sides of the walker and walked the 15 or so feet to the other side of the room.

"Joe, you're putting all your weight on the walker. Stand up straight and walk normal, letting the wheels roll free as if you're pushing a shopping cart." He advised him.

Joe came back to the wheelchair and went to sit down.

"No, Joe, go again. I'm not approving anything until I see you walking normally and pain free." Dr. Payne insisted.

Joe walked back and forth between the corrals a few times and when he was across the room Dr. Payne told him to stop.

"Leave the walker there and come over to the chair. Don't use the support corral unless you have to." Payne said folding his arms and putting a nervous bent knuckle to his lip.

Joe moved the walker aside and took two baby steps.

"Any pain? Are you steady?" Payne asked.

"No, it's OK."

"Well walk like a man Joe for Christ's sake. Don't run over here but try to be normal. You've been walking for 40 years, you didn't forget how, did you?" Dr. Payne said using a tough love type of approach.

Joe bit his lip, being pissed off at his friends attitude and walked a normal gait to the wheel chair. He looked to Bill Payne and smiled.

"No pain Doc, you did great!"

"Well don't get too encouraged and you're not out of the woods yet. You still have a few more weeks of restrictions. I'm going right by the book with you. You'll keep all the normal restrictions except you can bend the knee and now use the walker on the hardwood floors. No crossing raised thresholds or onto or off carpets. Walk on your own from your bed to the bathroom, and from the wheelchair or walker to the bathroom, ONLY. Either all carpet or all hardwood floor. You can sit in straight chairs, but no sofas or recliners yet. I think you can get rid of the hospital bed if you think you don't need it." He told Joe before opening the door and looking up the hall into the waiting area.
