Surgery?

Well,

OK,

Things are not always as they seem.

I thought I would have laser treatment instead of surgery.

Evidently, that isn’t the way it works.

After looking at the x-rays, the chiropractor seriously

Doubts that the laser will do any good.

Too many problems; too far gone.

He thinks I’ll have to have at least partial knee replacements.

At least he’s honest.

We’re going to try laser and adjustments for awhile

And if there is no improvement

Guess what?

I’ll have to face reality.

Even though I don’t want to.

Things could be worse –

I could have cancer.

Oh wait.

I could have a tumor and lose my

hearing and balance on one side,
causing constant clamor in my ear.

Oh wait.
Or have an autoimmune disease,
or acid reflux or 
recurring  staph and bladder infections.
Oh wait. 
I could be obese (my doctor's words),
have high blood pressure and
very high cholesterol.
Oh wait.

Never mind. 
Afterall,
I've never had Shingles--
the Mother of all Misery.
I can see;
hear in one ear;
walk and talk.
YES!
