3 Strikes To My Pelvis

I saw Dr. Speedy Mohler the other day and in his 5 minutes of passing through my room he notified me of these bullet points which were said faster than I could hear at the time but I replayed it in my head and figured the list out later:
1. I will have to get a new hip in 30-50 years
2. I have "3 strikes to my pelvis" (see below)
3. I have some early osteoarthritis
4. I may need to consider some orthoscopic surgery to prevent the need for a new hip and to let me play volleyball
5. I am cancer-free and therefore discharged from his care

Yeah, 3 strikes to my pelvis. STRIKE 1: I played a lot of kicking sports when I was younger so I have some kind of impingement from extra bone growing or something (totally unrelated to the lymphoma), STRIKE 2: I had a big nasty tumor in my pelvis, STRIKE 3: I had radiation to my pelvis. Fortunately pelvisai do not work like baseball at-bats; apparently you get more than 3 strikes to your body parts before they strike-out and turn into garbage.

They gave me a permanent handicapped parking placard, which is cool because it still hurts to walk and it tires me out. I have to park a ridiculous distance from the hospital for work if I don't have the handicap placard. So, I act like an old man now. I have a handicapped parking placard, I grunt and groan when I sit or stand up, I can't run, and I have trouble bending over.

Next Tuesday I meet with Dr. King (sports medicine) to talk about rehabing/operating on my hip. Wednesday is my 6 month PET scan to be sure my body is clear of lymphoma.
