I don't normally feel anxious so this is all a bit new to me. Waved ds aged 13 off on the coach to cadet camp this morning. He's going 200 miles away for 7 nights. He's been for 5 nights before and I wasn't worried at all, but he had pain in one of his testicles last night and this morning and I'm so worried that it's going to get worse and be a torsion or something, or that it will cause him pain while he's doing the assault course etc and he'll be too afraid/embarrassed to tell someone. He insisted he was fine to go, but was a bit quieter han normal and I saw him wince as he was going up the steps on the coach and now I feel terrible, tearful and a bit panicky and wish I hadn't let him go. I'm worried that it was worse than he was letting on and that he was putting a brave face on it because he was so desperate to go.
Would it be awful if I emailed the person in charge to ask them to keep an eye on him? I know I'm probably just a bit anxious about him being away anyway and am fixating on this now which is making it worse. Dh isn't worried at all. I've tried deep breathing, watching TV, doing housework to take my mind off it, but I seem to be getting worse not better and my heart is pounding.
