Tom Arnold’’s Rips a Testicle Out for Valentine’s ♥Happy Valentines’ Arnie

♥  

I don't think I have ever heard anything as chipper as Tom Arnold's description of his "agonizing testical surgery" (which, on top of the agony, was ultimately unsuccessful). Arnold and his wife had been through four devastating rounds of failed in vitro fertilization, when the doctor offered them one final option. To yoink out Tom's testicle.

Arnold recalls, "We went to the doctor to say goodbye... and she was so upset and sad and weeping and I said, 'Doc, I wish there was something the man could do; I wish modern science came up with a procedure for the man... I'll do anything.'

"He's like, 'There is a new procedure we could do, Tom,' and I said, 'Sign me up then, man, what is it?' And he said, ‘Well, we make an incision into your scrotum and pull your testicle out!' 

First of all I blacked out. I pulled the doctor aside and go, 'Dude, run that by me in the freakin' hall, man!'"

Arnold went through with the surgery, stating, "I had to do it, man.

"They take the syringe, they find two sperm... You've got a bag of ice on your (genitals) for, like, a week... I did it, it didn't work, but it's all good."

The testicle thingy didn't work, but a later round of in vitro DID. Tom and his wife welcomed their baby son last April. Congrats, kiddos! [ContactMusic]
