Spares

I have a friend who has replacements of 3 hips (one surgery failed immediately), 2 knees, 1 shoulder (other one pending in a month) and 2 carpal tunnel surgeries. And her beautiful smile never falters.


When I realize how every scrap of these outrageously complex concoctions we call bodies can go wrong, I am numb with gratitude for my whole parts.
