Totally Totalled

Here’s a fresh X-ray of my barely-functional right hip.
The one that caused me to roll downhill - sliding closer to a grizzly than I wanted while in Yellowstone. Luckily, the ranger next to me helped me to a standing position…..The grizz? Too busy eating to even notice.
The hip that’s prevented me from golfing, hiking —enjoying.

Another doctor was fooled by my crooked spine - thinking back surgery. Which sent me down a different treatment path.

Today, I met the perfect doctor. Diagnosis:
My back? Probably been crooked all my life.
My hip? Totalled-replace the whole thing.
