what is different to your body as a child to now?


I now have no tonsils, no gall bladder, almost no stomach, an artificial knee, and very thin hair.
 
taller, heavier, gray hair, artificial hip, stiff joints, wrinkles, .....so much

Aches & Pains from arthritis
Sadly I’ve gotten shorter ( like I could afford to give up any inches ?) thanks to two spinal surgeries so I now have titanium in me didn’t have that as a kid wish I didn’t need it now
Fat - that stuff shows up everywhere like wrinkles 🤣🤣
Readers - I always have a pair on me
My tonsils were taken when I was 4 so really that doesn’t count I can’t recall ever having them
Wisdom teeth and a few of their friends like several - no room for them all
Lots of broken bones - too many to list
Lots of scars - too many stories to tell !!
Grey hair - knew that would come young as my mother was completely grey at 30 - mine started by 20 thank God for hair dye !!!
 
Biggest change-competitive roller skater as a kid; now I can't get around without at least a walker.
 
A big chunk out of my right calf from a cancer excision with infection issues and follow up concerns.
 
I have a very rare, progressive disease called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva that turns my muscle into bone.I have lost a great deal of mobility and can no longer sit in a regular chair nor stand up straight. But I still work full time :).
 
When I was a kid a neighbor lady accused my mom of not feeding me because I was so skinny. That has changed.
 
Well, when I was a child, I was a little ball of energy. Now, let's just say gravity has had its way with me. My body has changed quite a bit over the years, but hat's just life! 🤷‍♀️
