What to you have in your body that wasn't there when you were born? |
|
(Not counting false teeth.) I'll start:
-Couple inches of Dacron tubing replacing blowout in renal vein.
-Nylon replacement navicular bone in wrist.
-Teflon kneecap.
-Odds and bits of steel. Few screws, but mostly fragments.
You?

9. What warrants that is when it gets broken into enough pieces that |
|
the pieces can't be reassembled and held together long enough to heal.
It's good to be back, and I do appreciate your concern, as you know. Let it never be said that I can't survive a storm.

14. Very few people know, and they're not saying. Long and twisted story, |
|
involving astonishingly bad (and escalatingly worse) judgment(s) on my part. But hey, I was young, and $1500 per month was damn good money 34 years ago. Even if I did only get about eight months of it.
But that's a story for a long night with copious quantities of beer to lubricate the gears of conversation...

That's a lot of (big) holes!! I've got 2 14s in each ear, and then two tiny ones in addition (lobe and upper lobe (?)) in the right ear. I want an industrial, but have heard bad things about the pain and healing, and being diabetic, that's not something I'm willing to tackle. The cartilage hole I *do* have took 18 months to heal!
Three tattoos... one small tribal on my upper back, and the kanji for strength (right foot) and perseverance (left foot). What do you have?

55. It took awhile to heal the industrial. |
|
The only cartilage piercing I really had problems with was the helix. I got it done on my 18th birthday with a gun before I knew any better.
The tattoos are... Lower back-Tribal with a Celtic Triskele in the center Base of neck-Om inside a sun Upper Right arm-Barbed wire armband Pretty big kanji for strength inside arm band (getting a tattoo going up to your armpit SUCKS!!! But I got it because I've only broken bones on people with my right arm) Left forearm-Celtic Trinity Knot Right forearm-Inverted Celtic Trinity Knot Above Right ankle- Kanji for balance inside Japanese-style ocean waves and sun rays
I want two more. A large Celtic cross on my back with "for my father" written around the top in Gaelic (in memory of my dad) and a Gonzo fist on my left leg or upper left arm. I've been tossing around the idea of getting a half sleeve on my left arm for a long time.

Yeah, my cartilage was a gun, same deal. Ick.
Your tattoos sound really cool, but I can't imagine the pain of inside upper arm... OW. I have one I want on my left shoulder down around upper left arm, but have yet to find the money and right artist to have it done. My husband said that the inside of the band was pretty bad...

59. Piercing guns are so bad. |
|
I had so many problems the first time I had my lobes pierced and it took forever to get my gunned cartilage to heal. Everything else has been easy. Not to mention, that "ear solution" stuff is crap. The best thing is sea salt soaks. It definitely cuts down the healing time.
With the inside upper arm, I remember at one point thinking she was up towards my arm pit already. I looked over and she was working on the bottom. She was like, "This hurts doesn't it? I can tell because you're really quiet and normally we hold full conversations during the tattoo." I lost a lot of ink in the healing too, so I had to go and get it touched up. The touchup wasn't as bad though. This time is healed beautiful (it's solid black).
I'm lucky because I have an artist that is really good and we're friends now. So I get hooked up on stuff.

And you're usually too young to know any better when you make that mistake. I won't ever again, though.
That's great that you have an artist who you know and trust so much! I haven't really had the money around to get my tat (and my husband gets his next one first anyway :)), so I haven't done much looking yet around here. Awesome on getting hooked up for stuff, that rocks!

19. I think there are a few wires |
|
left over in my jaw from having it surgically shortened and wired shut.
Having jaw surgery, it sounds painful, it looks horrible, and not eating for a few moths is a drag, but honestly, it didn't really hurt much.
Certainly much less than I expected.

29. I think the term was "undershot" |
|
The lower jaw stuck out a bit in front of the upper. They cut just behind where the wisdom teeth would be (they take those out first) and just move the jaw back a bit.
I'm mostly of Scandinavian descent, but I had a classic "British strong-jaw." No longer!

The storm's blown through and I'm still standing. Had some damn high winds, that one did, but I stood in the teeth of it and dared it knock me down.
Though the relaxation of last Sunday's drive through Vermont with the convertible top down would have healed anything. It was the therapy I needed. And in the middle of it, I went to church, of all things. Will miracles never cease?

50. Some wires embedded on the inner side of |

my bottom teeth. A "permanent retainer" as it were, after having had braces twice, so that my damned teeth will stay put and not go crooked again.
And a puncture mark on my heart from where doctors jabbed a needle directly into it when I was 7 weeks old to save my life.
That's about it.

66. Long story but the short version is.... |
|
preemie, spent the first several weeks in hospital, went home, whooping cough (but I was too young for vaccine), back to hospital, there for the weekend, supposedly okay, back home, not okay after all, stopped breathing, ambulance, heart stopped, doctor taking desperate measures to save my life plunged a needle (not sure what was in it) into my heart, heart started again, stayed in hospital for a few more weeks and ... here I am 43 years later, healthy and happy.

97. It was malformed and prone to infection |
|
so, unfortunately, it wouldn't have been useful to anyone. It may still be in a jar of formaldehyde at Johns Hopkins. The doctors told us that they'd be using a film of my operation to help train surgeons. That was almost 30 years ago, though. The whole procedure may be ancient history.

it probably did teach a whole lot of doctors something they may not have ever seen otherwise and that can't be a bad thing.
So, it doesn't matter that the extra organ was probably not useful to someone as a viable organ... the value of the research and study that could come from it, though - wow!

And then there's the mercury, uranium, and cotinine, from when I smoked many years ago. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=5012Scary stuff And I don't remember ever putting that stuff in. It just got there. Ok, I take responsibility for the cotinine, but that's it.

71. probably some strontium 90 and other radionuclides from Chernobyl |
|
The radioactive plume went all over the northern hemisphere. I was a kid at the time, and I can't remember whether my parents decided to avoid milk in the weeks after the big kaboom.
So there might be some strontium 90 in my bones -- which I resent very much.

I have a steel plate in my neck and I'm missing a cervical disc. I'm also missing a chunk of bone out of my hip but I'm not really missing it - it's taking the place of the disk.
Oh, and I'm missing a uterus as well.

88. Broken glass from when I stepped on some as a child |
|
My dad broke an ashtray in the house when I was about 7, and everyone thought he'd gotten all the pieces, big and little. I was walking around the living room where it happened, and I was wearing a pair of moccasins that I loved dearly. Without looking, I stepped down, and three pieces of glass went into my left sole, shredding my foot and the moccasin. They were pretty deep, and my doctor could only get one out without surgery. Since the others were pretty small, the doctor decided that he would patch up my foot and reevaluate the situation in a few weeks. Well, the cuts healed, and I couldn't feel the glass, and I forgot all about it until ten years ago, when one of the pieces of glass worked its way to the surface. :yoiks: The other one is still there.

Here's hoping the streak continues.
I didn't count nicotine as something because, well, mommy smoked, and you said false teeth don't count--I've got one or two of those, so there goes that. I have had things removed, however. (Appendix, and the flesh that once existed where now there are earrings). But yeah. I'm pretty tame compared to some of you guys.
