Thet are hers now!

GP for more years than I care to remember



Knee replacement is exactly what it sez.
the knees get replaced, its surgery, the surgeon removes the original damaged bone
and replaces it with metal parts. its really serious surgery, I've known people who
have gone through it and recovery is no picnic but it gets the job done so that people
who may have not been able to walk can do so.

ain't modern science wonderful?



Please check out mine:



I have had a replacement hip not knee, before I had it it was painfull to walk, but since the worn out piece of bone was cut of and a new metal part put in place, I have been pain free. My new hip is now part of my body and now belongs to me



Both kind of.
She want really born with them but they are inside of her now and I guess they are a part of her.
