Getting bent is a sports injury, not a disease.
Every sport has injuries, and other than career ending ones, they can be worked
around if you want to continue the sport.
Just join a less strenuous league and have at it.

I know several divers who've been bent multiple times,  and they  have done the
following things to adjust.  You need not do all of them, but understanding the
operating theory of each will go a long way to deciding what you wish to do.  I'll
not provide any of the theory, trusting you to be able to.

As for "1 more dive", I expect that if you have a burning love of diving, you have
as many ahead of you as you've already done.

The list (and you can't do all of them, as some are mutually exclusive).

1. Switch to nitrox, and use the hottest mix the depth will allow.
2. Add multiple stops on the way up, as if it were a deco dive.
    Particularly add a 10m stop, as well as the usual 5m stop.
3. Ascend slower than 10m/minute from any depth to any stop, including the surface.
4. Carry a stage bottle of pure O2 for the 5 meter stop.   Sling it, leave it on a
landmark, or clip it on a down line, whatever method is appropriate for the dive and
your ability to find it on the return.
5.  Limit yourself to shallow dives.    Many of the world's premier divesites can be
fully enjoyed at depths less than 13 meters.


6.  The engineers and hard scientists of the group tend to break out the tissue
models and the gas laws and derive a profile with less uptake and more outgas time,
and you can do that too if comfortable with the math.    None produce a relevant
statistic of the probability of getting bent to go with the rather precise N2 uptake
prediction for the tissues,  and their rate of offgassing.    Since you already
suspect you are not in the statistical population covered by the tables, I'd just
put the calculations into the academic interest category and go back to the rather
empirical methods of 1-5.
