Do you have any nonhuman parts in your body?

Radrook's thread about teeth got me thinking. We're all 50-60+, so we've been bouncing around for a while. Do you have any nonhuman parts in your body?

I can't go through a metal detector without setting the damn thing off. I have steel nails, a metal plate in my back and bracing. Then there's artificial teeth, and eye lenses.
If this keeps up, in a few years, I'll be waving my arms and shouting, "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger".

How about 2 artificial knees, 2 hip replacements, both shoulders replaced, 3 dental bridges and 2 occular implants?
Going through the metal detector is very entertaining. The scan at the side causes a lot of concern. It might be easier to strip off and show them the scars.

It's amazing what doctors can do these days. Were your joint replacements due to arthritis?

My wife had both shoulders and both knees replaced. You've got her beat, though! I admire both of you. I'm not sure I could have handled all the pain and suffering my wife went through.

All osteoarthritis - bone on bone.
The hardware will last longer than I will so I am anticipating some good pain free years ahead.
 
Two guys are drinking together at a bar and go into the bathroom. Standing at the latrine, Bill notices that his buddy is very well endowed.
"Wasn't always that way," the buddy says. "It's a transplant. I had it done over in the UK on London's Harley Street. It cost five thousand bucks, but as you can see, it's well worth every cent."

Bill gets himself booked on the next flight. He visits the doctor on Harley Street and has similar surgery. Six months later, the two guys meet up again at the bar. Bill explains, "I took your advice, but you were robbed. I got mine for $1500, not five thousand."
They go back to the restroom to compare. "No wonder," his buddy says, "That's my old one!".

OMG! You poor thing. I visited Washington, DC, and you can't get in a building there without going through a metal detector. Like you, I thought about going around naked. Your right, it would have been a lot easier.

I never gave the non-human part a thought but now that I think of it; I have bilateral cochlear implants with a magnetic to hold my implant to my head; Contact lenses in both eyes; some crowns and fillings for teeth and mesh for bladder surgery. I think that is it.
