Bionic Woman

When my daughter was little one of her favorite shows was the bionic woman.

I remember thinking what a miraculous idea it was to be able to fix body parts that way, but as I grow older I realize that parts of me are all headed that way.

I am already laying the groundwork, by having bits and pieces removed.

During the last thirty years I have lost my tonsils, adenoids, gall bladder, ovaries, uterus, appendix, fallopian tubes, and parts of two toenails.

I had cataracts removed and fake lenses placed in my eyes about three years ago.

My baby tooth fell out this summer and now I have a fake one in its place! It looks real, feels real, needs care like a real one -- but it's not.

I may be on my way to being a bionic woman -- if I live long enough.
