I was pondering all the things that are different or strange that happen in our lives. Some I would have never thought about but yet have come about in my life.

I have had both my shoulders replaced, my right ankle, and my left femur has been reworked in steel from thigh to ankle. I have even broken a toe, but as minor as that was considering the other breaks, I only found out about the toe when I had an X-ray for sciatica.
