SECOND OPERATION

Got to change - do something - change - what? - what choice do I have? -

So me and Dad went to see another doctor and asked him his advice  

"It's a dilemma" he said

Have the hip out - put in a new hip - a false one - its possible - but am I still too young ? - good chance of success - fifteen years without pain - never known what its like to be without pain - but my hips are in a bad way - makes it   difficult   - could go wrong - bone might   not   take   it   -   body might reject   it   - fifteen years without pain - but no turning back then - once its done its done - might be good - might not - what then? - end up without any hips - just a big gap - legs dangling free and floppy - that would certainly loosen them up - end up in a wheelchair - no chance to change - to change - change myself - do it myself - from the inside - reverse the old process - get the old   metal taken out - twisted my leg around - caused half the problems anyway - what to do?-get a new hip or reverse the operation? - reverse the process or replace the hip?   reverse or replace? - reverse or replace? - reverse or replace?

"So what do you suggest, Doctor?"

"You will have to make up your own mind on this one - It's going to have to be your own decision".

At last it seems there's a doctor out there who treats me with respect, as a person, not just a mechanical body waiting to be messed around with and fixed.
