Whoop! Whoop! and Double Whoop!

I first have to explain the term Whoop.

“I say cruise, you say, Whoop!” is a celebratory expression of delight.

Another is “Do that again, and I’m gonna whoop your backside!” Self explanatory.

Lastly is “That workout today whooped me!” meaning I am totally wiped out.

I’ll be saying the first Whoop soon. I hope I don’t have to use the second ever again.

The third Whoop coming my way is a combination of the first type of Whoop and the last. I am getting a double knee replacement in March, and I am VERY happy! After limping around for too long like some old lady – which I am not! – it is time. A friend who had knee replacement recently says I’m crazy and will be saying the process whooped me before the first day is done.

But here’s how it happened.

The doctor looked at the latest x-rays and asked, “What do you want me to do?”

“Unless you have a magic wand, I want knee surgery.”

He hollered out the door, “Bring me my magic wand!” A few seconds later, a nurse peeked in. “Sorry, I can’t find your magic wand.”

At that moment I knew this was my kind of place!

When I told him I wanted both knees done at once, he asked my how tough I was. I told him I am tough as nails. We’ll see if that statement holds up.

After telling friends, Vicky  and Jim, I am having the surgery and of my brave comment, they said like the good friends they are, they would remind me of my delusional statement at the appropriate time. They assure me that the therapy is going to thoroughly have me whooped in every way!

I think I am going to memorize Psalm 18:2 for my Therapy Whooping Power Pill. This is my translation – The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. Dear God, in whom I take refuge, You are my shield and my stronghold. Please get me through this torture!

In lieu of a magic wand, it sound like a good plan, don’t you think?

Blessings
