A hip replacement? Mom, are you sure? Are you sure that is what the doctor said?
Yes, why? What do mean? Why wouldn’t I be sure?
I don’t know. Honestly, let’s just forget it.
Okay. How are the kids? How’s Nathan doing at Baseball?
Nathan’s doing great. Wait! Was dad there? At the appointment?
Yes, dad was there too. When’s his next game?
Mom…
I’m just asking when his next game is. Don’t you know?
Yes, of course I do. You always do this.
Do what?
Honestly, let’s just forget it.
So when is it?
His game?
Yes.
Can we please finish talking about your hip?
Fine, but I already told you everything.
Ok, so what happens next? What did the doctor say ?
I have to go see the surgeon for a consult. He will make me an appointment and they will call me.
Did he give you a time frame for that?
2 or 3 days, I think.
2 or 3 days? That seems fast. Are you sure?
I don’t know…sometime…he will call me. How’s Samantha doing at swimming?
Mom…please,
You’re such a nosey nancy this morning! What’s with all the questions?
