Surgery Description.

How  do you find this picture?  Isn't it impressive enough, is it?

I suppose it is,  however just guess how impressive was the very surgery process  that I was keeping all the conscious along!

The seventh – or the eighth, don't remember exactly, there were so many of them behind and there are still several ahead  too, - so the seventh surgery I had just had  on the 1st Sep.  in 4 days I was transferred to the rehabilitation department and  on the 17th – back home.

I'd like just to write about my mind state during that surgery.  In course of it my mind was stayed not completely blind, though somewhat dizzy. Due to the innovative spinal narcosis that replaced in countries with modern medicine   the general anesthesia  I was keeping my mind half-active. However I felt no pain – I just felt well when  the surgeons got breaking  the very ossification in the joint. It seemed that they were doing it either with big hammer, or with some other  mines-drilling tools. Apparently the ossification was rather big, however no pain I felt that time!

While I was being  done it, my face  - and the  sight view hence – was covered by  a kind of small screen. So I was laying there and fighting against my curiosity. It were so interesting to get a look over the very surged area! Simultaneously it was very scaring too – after all the unconditional reflex   it would be to spasm the  knee muscles! And that would  impede the surgery process.

So scrutinizing I was laying all that time long -  and had not got decided to get the screen away. May be I'd get decided later – there are still several of them ahead.

Despite  the surgeons had  found the surgeon  rather successful, it turned to be too late to restore  the full knee flexion. In course of those 9 years the ligaments got  contracted and stiffened. So no full restoring were impossible  by now. Some success could be achieved, we worked on it in rehabilitation department, but THAT  was that painful!... אבל מה לעשות? - what could be done now?

So tells me nothing on antiglobalists  rightness – that delay was  nothing but the result of the lack of modern medical  tools in me native country!... 

and now it's just too late...
