Hip Replacement With Benefits
Decades after my professional soccer days were over it seemed like I needed more body repairs now vs. when I was playing. Three knee, two ankle, one thumb surgeries and now my hip was bothering me to the point it was affecting my sleep. The interesting thing was that I never injured my hip. A trip to my ortho doctor and the x-ray was so evident that I could even see the problem. A few weeks later I was still in complete denial even as my son drove me to my hip replacement surgery.
Fortunately I was in excellent shape and kept my weight the same as my playing days so I figured I would come out fine after a few months and my doctor agreed.

My son and I walked into the hospital and the plan was to just spend one night and if I could do some simple things like walk 300 feet and climb up steps I could go home the next day.
Before I knew it I was lying in a warm bed with an IV in my arm. Various nurses and staff were processing me as my son sat next to me. I could see my son checking out this one cute blonde nurse and when I caught him he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. I teased him a little and he told me there is one here that I would appreciate. I looked around at the dozen or so people and didn't see what he could have been thinking and then they pulled the curtain closed more so I could barely out. After another ten minutes I knew what my son was talking about.
"Hello Mr. Jackson my name is Nami and I will be the lead surgical nurse today." She was beautiful and she was the one my son was talking about. Nami was the classic beautiful Korean woman--large almond eyes, high cheekbones and hair so perfect she could do hair product ads. My son knew my attraction to Asian women seeing my last two girlfriends were Asian--what can I say I like dark hair and petite women.
Nami was filling out forms, checked my IV and then began me asking questions but I was staring and had to be asked a couple times on some.
Nami had her hand on my shoulder as she checked my IV again. She leaned closer to adjust something on the machine and our eyes met--her beautiful face only a foot from my face. She smiled and I returned the smile and our eyes locked--her eyes shifting eye to eye for three wonderful seconds.
My son excused himself to use the restroom and Nami said that he actually needed to say "see you later" because it was family cutoff time. My son squeezed my hand and told me good luck and that he loved me.
I will admit having Nami here took away some of the denial attitude I was having. She was still filling out forms and making notes. A couple times we looked at each other and it was evident we felt a vibe.
Nami was about 50 years old but looked 40, about 5'4" and 120lbs--a nice athletic shape and not your typical slender Asian. She looked great with little makeup at this early hour and in her surgical scrubs--as a matter of fact she looked hot to me.
"So who will be staying with you after we let you go tomorrow?" Her question had a question in it.
"My son will stay with me for a few days. He is a great kid and we are very close."
"Nice. I could tell you have a solid relationship. I like seeing that."
Even that response seemed to be a measurement. I had seen in the past that women I dated were happy to see me have a great relationship with my son and even happier when I told them that my son chose to live with me after my divorce--it was like they figured that I didn't ship my kid off so I could be the "player bachelor".
"Wow. You are 60. I'm sorry, " she said stumbling a bit over the statement. "I had you pegged at 50. You should see some of the people in here. They look older than their age." Nami was blushing a bit after saying that.
"That's okay I had you pegged at 65 or so," I said with a serious look.
"Oh?"
I started laughing. "Ah I got you. I was just trying to use a little levity to lighten things. It seemed you got a little flustered after saying that."
"Okay. Thanks." Nami then did what a few Korean women had done to me in the past and gave me a soft punch on the arm and there it was! She was feeling the vibe I was and that fake punch is the signal of "
I like you."
"So are we still on time for rolling me in at 7am?"
"Am I boring you?" as she made a fist again but relaxed it and rubbed where she had hit me before. Our eyes were locked.
"Not at all. As a matter of fact...."
Just then the curtain opened up.
"About ten more minutes," another nurse announced and she shot a quick look at me and then smiled at Nami. I got the impression Nami may have said something to her earlier.
"So only ten more minutes. Well then how...."
Again the curtain opened and the doctor came in and said hello and marked my hip.
"No worries Doc I already wrote on my other hip, 'Other hip with an arrow'. The doctor lifted up the blanket and saw and laughed as he walked away.
"Did you really?"
"Yes I did. I'm not taking any chances."
"Can I see?" Nami didn't even wait for an okay from me and walked to the other side of the bed and looked over her shoulder as she lifted up the blanket. She smiled and looked at my bare hip and lower body.
"Was there that much to read?" I teased because she looked for about three seconds.
Nami got very red and she looked so hot to me as she once again put her hand on my shoulder.
"So when I get out of here would...."
Just then another nurse walked up-- this was the third time I was going to ask her if she would like to go out with a guy with a chuck of metal in his butt but got blocked with an intrusion.
Nami giggled because she suspected what I was trying to ask and for the third time got interrupted and couldn't.
"Yes!" she said as she stepped away. She looked over her shoulder and gave me a million dollar smile.
"Yes what?" I said. I was joking with her by acting like, "what were you thinking I was about to ask".
Nami looked back at me and gave me a hot pouty look and then smiled. One of the other nurses saw this little exchange and gave Nami a little grin indicating that she saw our vibe.
As they wheeled me into the OR Nami was now in full professional mode and covered head to toe but she still looked great to me. A couple times I could tell she was smiling from her eyes and once she gave me the hottest little wink. My last memory was her smile.

When I woke up I had no normal feeling from the waste down--just like I was lying on a small pillow that I could soon tell was my swollen butt. The recovery nurse began asking me questions and checking for feeling in my legs.
As we were doing this the door opened and Nami walked in with a sweet smile.
"It went great Greg. The doctor will tell you more but...."
"Well Nami have not seen you come back here in a while," the other nurse said with a suspicious smile.
Nami just smiled and the other nurse got it. As a matter of fact she excused herself and walked over to another patient leaving us alone.
"Here Greg," Nami slipped a piece of paper in my hand. "You don't want to lose that. Trust me," she said with a sexy grin. Nami looked over her shoulder and said.
"Do you have feeling yet in your legs yet?"
