The phone rang at 08.30 this morning and Mathew told me that due to the arthritis in my hips, I needed a double hip replacement. No, I said - nothing wrong with my hips, my problem is a stenosed spine. Oh yes! he said, you need to see the Consultant who will talk you through the major surgery you need on your spine - fixing the stenosis will destabilise your spine so they will need to put some plates in to hold you together. OK?
NO!!!!
It's a no brainer I have to have the surgery but now it is confirmed I'm having a wobble. No-one has cut me about before and I'm a total wuss and so I feel wobbled. Big time!
Then a mate talked about doing it with a local anaesthetic! No way! I want to be else where while they cut me. Completely out of it. Gone.
Anyway, off to the dentist now - routine check-up. More like it!
