I scream and the Doc comes in and says Mr. Ninesecz, We had some complications and there is a chance you may never walk again! I just will not risk that right now! I yhave never broken a bone and only had stitches in my ear when it got bit! I have crashed a drag car at 135Mph Been in 50+ fights ( Was a bouncer for years) crashed downhill on mountain bikes crashed skiing and almost cut myself in half going down the power lines on a snowmobile when I fell off the side off the R.R. bed and missed a steel bridge support by 2" ! I have been pretty lucky with not being seriously hurt with some serious crashes!
(couple car accidents too!) I just have this weird intuition that after all those non planned accidents and walking away without a scratch, if I go under the knife planned I will come out screwed up! I know I would probably feel great But i am just not a firm beleiver in medicine! as I said my Aunt, my Grandma, and On top of it my mothers Doctor, who she had for 20 years, never tested her for rhumetoid Arthritis and she lived with it fpor 4 years untreated until her doc moved and the new doc diagnosed it at the inital consultation! Maybe when I get into my mid 40's I will have the cut and paste done, for know, I will live on Pain killers and know 100% I will wake up the next Day Walking.. Hey look What just happened to my Boy Adam Goldstein (DJ A.M.) Lied to all of us that he was still clean and then O.D. This is about the 15th person I have personally known that has O.D. on Pills! That keeps me from ever taking more than, or even close to what I am prescribed! I actually Know a family that lost 2 brothers and a sister all to heroin within 24 months! Oldest brother Died... Then 9months later the younger brother, then 10 months later three Sister got a loaded dose! Mom lost all 3 kids in 2 years!
