Everything hurts. I have oral surgery today.

A week after my knee surgery, I have oral surgery. A crown came off, and my dentist said they can't put it back on. Next will be a lens replacement in my right eye. To quote Rico Rizzo from Midnight Cowboy, "I'm fallin' apart"

This is when you start looking on eBay for new body parts. Just can’t find any “gently used” things. Praying everything goes well!

One of my friends has a 97 year old Dad. He has had both knees replaced, both rotator cuffs/shoulders, both hips replaced. No eye stuff...my friend said that he refers to himself as the'' Bionic Man.''That's just a lot of replacements!! @TheHorse You are not allowed to fall apart. That's enough of that nonsense...I hope you heal from it all safely and well.

@MarieCoyle — I don’t think my sis-in-law has anything left to replace.

@FourWalls It's crazy. Son has the steel rod in his back and one in his arm...he sets off every alarm he passes through. When the ambulance has taken him to the ER, I always tell them he will set off the detectors when they roll him through. Crazy.

You will be okay soon. These are part of growing up! Being a music aficionado I give a link - Kip Moore’s song "Part of Growing Up" is a nostalgic and introspective track reflecting on the journey of life, shifting priorities, and the resilience needed to bounce back from the hardships and heartbreaks that inevitably shape us into adults.

@vandana7 Not easy to accept we are getting old for most. Life is a one way street - cannot go back. So many parts inside us but the master keeps us going for so many years though we need repairs done from time to time.

I am so sorry. Well, I feel that my crown is coming off and I fear it will have to be replaced. Now you had three bad things happening, it's over now.
