My very first ever video on You Tube was when I had my ankle surgery last year. The doctor that operated on me was moving to New York and on my last visit with him, he was calling me a wimp. He wasn’t saying it with anger, just point blank: ” You are acting like a wimp.”
He was saying that because I was complaining about the intense pain on my ankle. I answered him: “Have you ever had this apparatus attached to your ankle?” And remember, I reminded him, “It was 2 surgeries at the same time!” (To remove most my pins and plates from my surgery 7 years ago besides the treatment for my cartilage.) He agreed. It was different and a double whammy.
