Next Year

Well, I've yet to collect my thoughts. Perhaps in that morphine stupor clarity will arrive. I will say that the pain has been so great as to alter my life this year and, in some ways, make me wish I had done this a lot sooner. On the other hand, I think a major surgery that alters your body is something that you have to be able to wrap your head around and accept. In most cases, what is known provides a degree of comfort that the unknown cannot. What lies next must be taken on faith and hope, and faith and hope provide no comfort at all.

Hip resurfacing, the movie:

No matter what you think, it hurts a lot less to just watch.

Prelude

So, 3 weeks from hip resurfacing surgery, I'll backtrack on just how it is I got here.

Crap, how the hecky hoo do I know. Good health, active lifestyle, no injuries, ever. Watch 70 year olds run marathons and I can hardly stand up. What's this, gods revenge on an athiest? Damn you, just wait til the afterlife.

So, I'm gonna post some thoughts and perhaps a gory video or 2. Why should I suffer alone.

So more to come after I collect my thoughts (a perhaps impossibly daunting task).
