Luke Likes 'Surgery'Well, this is windy today. Oh my goodness. I thought I could play some basketball outside, outdoors, outside. But no, no, that's not going to happen. It is a little cold, sure, but also this is so annoying, annoying when you do that in the wind. So no, I'm not going to do that to myself today, maybe tomorrow.Anyway, anyway, I'm here, recording, recording, and I found out, I found out, well, nothing good, actually, nothing good. My friend is going to have a surgery, surgery.So in other words, in other words, she is going to go to a hospital and doctors are going to put her on the table, open her body and fix, fix her hip. Because this is a hip surgery.Do you know what a hip is? Hip, hip, hip, like hip hop. No, nothing to do with music this time. Nothing to do, nothing to do with music. This is the top of your leg, of your leg that connects to your waist. Yeah, this is as close as I can explain that. So we all have two hips, the left one and the right one.And the problem with her hip, the problem with her hip started quite a long time ago, I can remember that. So we can say she has a lot of issues, issues, so problems, issues with her hip. And first she felt uncomfortable, just uncomfortable, but then it became worse and worse so that she couldn't sleep at night. And that's a real issue when that happens.So what do you do? Well, first of all, you take painkillers, painkillers to kill the pain, to manage the pain. And this is what she did, what she tried. A lot actually, a lot. Didn't help much, didn't help much.So what else can you do? You can look for help. So she made a lot of appointments with a lot of doctors. She had a lot of tests on her hip and on her leg. Because it turns out, it turns out it is all connected. It's not a surprise actually that one issue is connected with another one. It's all connected.She also tried physiotherapy, physiotherapy, so treatment on your body from a physio, from a physio, like massage and special exercises. Didn't help, didn't help unfortunately. So finally, finally after all this time, she is sure she has to have a hip surgery. There is no other way. Yeah, that's what we can say here. No other way than a surgery. So she set the date, set the date and it will obviously take place at a hospital. It will not take a lot of time actually, around one, two hours maybe. Well, I'm not sure about that. But the day after that, after the surgery, she will have to start recovery, recovery, recovery time. So she will have to get back to normal, get back to normal. She will stay at a hospital for a few days and then another stage, so another step, another stage will start, the rehab, rehab stage. So it means she will try and move, move her leg a lot and after a few weeks, come back to her regular activities, regular, everyday life. Which is optimistic actually, because now she might be worried and she is, she tells me, she is in a lot of pain, in a lot of pain and she cannot live like that anymore.But after that time of surgery, recovery and rehab, she will start a new, a new, a new life and this is very uplifting, uplifting.So she must remember that, the good days are coming.Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!-------------------------------------------Intro/Outro Music By:Joakim Karud -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Longing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠License:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠
