I've been in a lot of accidents, bounced around by machinery, always walked away. Sometimes serious scaring but no real damage. On an earlier blog we talked about swimming and I always sank like a rock, never could float. If I wanted on top the water, I stayed in motion. At my height I have never manged to get below 135 once I matured even when I had a twenty one inch waist.

Last Friday the doc sliced my toes open and straightened them on the left foot. No idea what went on but yesterday for a checkup I found out. Everything went good up to a point of trying to pin everything back in place so they didn't deform again while healing. They couldn't put any pins in the bones. Bones are like a sponge with lots of porous holes. Mine aren't. The couldn't pin anything. Several other doctors were called in, none had ever run into bone as dense as mine. It was like stone instead of bone.

When I told our son, he said he had heard it from the doctors Friday when they did the surgery. They wanted a sample to study in the lab but since I was out of it, I couldn't give permission.

Everyone is unique unto themselves among the billions of people on this starship we call earth. Each and everyone of you are special. The person you present to others may or may not be the hidden soul hiding behind the facade one was born with. Whether it is or isn't the choice to be the best one can be given the circumstances rests with each individual.

Next time I visit the VA will be dressed as a pirate as I peg leg it to my appointment. I promise they won't remember every person who passes through. They will remember me, hopefully laughing to themselves when they do. Even if it is to remember the crazy person. Poking fun at the hand we were dealt instead of complaining makes it a whole lot easier to accept.

Am I the only one who got all the jokers in the deck that last shuffle? I don't think so.

Life is a gift. It's just too short to take seriously.
always
