Docter, what is your diagnosis? “Well, I’m afraid you don’t have any skin to walk on sir. It’s bone to bone now.” Oh noooo, but I know I felt rusty and quite bad, but what are you saying? Can’t I walk anymore? “In this state I wouldn’t recommend making more damage to yourself, but I know how important it is for you. If you stay here I will search the country and beyond for a cure. Let me send my courier out, you may wait or I will have this humble wheelchair for you wait for recovery. Unfortunately, this service and quality I want to give you will not be cheap, so if you pay me by giving one of your bones we can start the procedure.” ..is this the only way? “Well you can ask for a second opinion, but it will not be as quick as I can. By not doing it you will have quite a high risk of not able to stop when you are walking or running. Your next walk or run could be therefor your last. It’s up to you. ” Okay doctor, fix it and I will give you my bone.. go as the wind and I will take this wheelchair to wrinkle and brighten myself up after this bad news. I see you soon…
3 hours later…
“Dir sir, we searched the country and beyond and I have good news for you. We found the parts for you and send our fasted courier to retrieve it for you. He already came back, and we now have it in our possession. If you come now we can directly start the procedure.”
Quickly as I could I rolled to the doctor’s office. Unfortunately, the wind was strong now and not in my favor or back. It took ages to arrive at my destination. Being tired and a bit lost I finally arrived at the office. He was still talking with his colleague about some other patient and juridical matters. Not something you want to hear for the first time. They postponed their conversation and the doctor greeted me again. “You can come directly sir, we are all waiting for you.” As I went through the door I saw a young boy. He smiled and reached out to me. “Hi, I’m your operator of the day. You will soon feel like a guy with the body of a young guy again.” I gniffled and said: Like you? “Yeah, but then even better.” I went to their bridge with some hesitation and went laying down. I closed my eyes and remembered a song I heard earlier today..
I didn’t know what to think. I couldn’t imagine being helped so quickly. My old doctor would probably have said something like: It’s quite a thing sir. We wouldn’t advise you to walk or at least only when really necessary. Of course, they would do the operation quite well as I would expect it from them, but I expected days or at least a week. Now it has been only a few hours.
It was La vie en Rose from Edith Piaf, but executed by someone else…
With eyes which make mine lower,
A smile which is lost on his lips,
That’s the unembellished portrait
Of the man to whom I belong…
I started to dream and was floating on these magical angel voice of her. When I woke up again I saw this boy I met earlier. “Hi sir, the operation was successful. I can say now you are fully new again. Do it slowly your first few kilometers and you will be good for a long life again.”
I smiled, I had small pains, but I actually felt really good. I’m feeling as new again and I can now happily travel the world and beyond again. With much gratitude for their quick service I went away and decided to treat me on a spin and a pie. This day I knew life good……
^awesome
