I'm falling apart

[primsong]

I suddenly feel as if my warranty is running out on my body or something. I go to the dentist who tells me I'll likely need a crown on a tooth this year because it's cracking. Then my glasses break (thankfully I have my backup pair until I get them fixed). Tomorrow I go to a foot-doctor because I apparently now will need orthotic inserts in my shoes thanks to my arches giving out on me. My neck is getting more turkey-like and my hands are freckling and getting that 'old' look.

What gives? Hey! Body! I'm not done with you yet, thanks. C'mon - we should be getting more mileage than this. :-p

I haven't really mentioned any of it anywhere but here, however... somehow I can grumble here and it doesn't count. If I grumble out loud to my Real World people I feel like I'm *also* turning into one of those old people who are always reciting a litany of all the things that are going wrong with their body whenever you talk to them. Bleah!

So, what body part is falling off/malfunctioning/needing replacement in your version of The Human Body (tm) today? Let's hear it! Alphabetically, if need be. Are you practically bionic or still mostly organic?

*giggles* My feet, knees, and the various joints in my hips can feel pretty aged some days (especially considering I'm only a quarter-century old), and I'm developing something of a hunchback already O_O, but I'm lucky to have excellent eyes and teeth.

(Well, except when I get eyestrain and have to hide in a dark room being bored. ;P But I don't need glasses or suffer from astigmatism, or any of that.)

Good eyes and teeth are wonderful parts to have, seriously. When you can't see or eat without help, it's quite annoying. And by all means, a person does not have to be old to get to complain - Since junior high I have a knee that clicks if I walk at a particular angle so I have to be careful when trying to tip-toe through quiet places or everyone hears "pop pop pop pop pop" as I walk. :-p Sometimes a grumble is good for the soul.
