Just wondered if I could hear other horror stories about human structural destruction

I earned the title of "Robo-Jew" a while ago.
Being able to set off a metal detector wearing nothing but your underwear does lead to some great conversations.
Left foot is held together with screws and plates.
Left knee has zero stability left (mulitiple ACL/PCL/LCL/MCL injuries and Patellar tendon tears)
Left hip has a bolt in it.
Left scapula has a plate with three screws.
Right lower jaw has a plate and two implants.
Tailbone removed (easier to explain than naming the surgery - normal responses are "'WHAT WAS CUT OFF????"")
Fractured a total of 9 vertebrae - but no breaks (thank G-d!).
oh yeah...I'm a paratooper in the US Army...graduated Jump School in 1990
