20 Percent

     

     Update from Bone Doctor:
                           Mrs. Baron, can I call you Bonnie, (yes, you have put screws in my leg) your right hip is 80 percent gone. Bone on Bone, will not get any better. I may have lunged at him,( he is a close talker)
" Are you kidding that is great news, I have 20 percent left!!" The doc had a odd look on his face, while I was dancing a jig. The Bone man, said.." You need to use a cane, take new meds ( just stronger Advil like stuff) ( because I told him, I don't do pain pills) (Addictive personality, drugs and me, not a good combo) (plus I have an extremely high pain threshold) and we will talk surgery in the next year probably??"
        Me, "I have a collection of canes, from my daddy, I can find one, no problem." He is pulling his chair closer to me......asking me again to look at the x-ray..... Me, " Look at that left hip, it is perfect and my spine is arthritis free, yes I see the right hip. I have carried babies on that hip, a purse that weighs 30lbs, broken that leg once, right foot twice!! AND it still has 20% left on it!! Miracle!!" ( not to mention carrying around torpedoes on my chest since the age of 12!!) continued..." Who is to say, that it may remain like this, for the remainder of my earthly life? I have hit the lottery Doctor!"
     If it is possible, he moves his little rolly chair closer to me, " You are right, Bonnie, I will see you in three months, OK?"
     Me, " I look forward to it, as I hobbled out of the room."
     I drove home, and called all the family that needed to know, that I had beat the surgery bullet for a few months. They gasped at the 80% part bad, so I had to do my song and dance, positive attitude out in the universe speech.
    It is my privilege to be 64, half crazy and 20% left on one leg.
    We go to lunch soon, to celebrate my only girls 28 birthday, it is all just a blink.
     To be honest I think I was more tired when they were all babies, then I am now.
     These children wore my hip OUT!!! I can not believe I have one that is still good!!
     My glass is always full, I just refrain from telling you what is in it!!
     Lets just leave it at JOY Juice, and not the bottle kind.
     Fill it up, I have 20% left, I am going out singing.

     Happy Birthday Emma, from your mother of mostly Dragons!!!
     ( I was so excited to have a girl, little did I know!!) ( just kidding) ( not really, girls are mental!!)
     ( Love you to the moon and back) Love to your birth mother in India, for sharing you with us. Her love is the most powerful.
       Namaste Darling                X-ray is not mine, some stranger on the internet that has the same thing
                                                   as I do. I think my bones are cuter, just saying!
