Our Bodies Are Amazing - Tumblr Posts

In December of 1997 my in laws were in a car accident and X-Rays were taken and it was discovered that my FIL and at least one child had Spina Bifida that self corrected before birth. No one knew or could tell and my FIL served in the US Air Force for twenty years (1974-1994).

I’ve had an optometrist ask how do I see so well despite having pretty bad vision even with galaxy and I honestly don’t have an answer for them.

We thought my grandma had a tumor in her heart and it turns out she was born with a small hole in her heart (she was born at home in rural Appalachia in the early 1940s and had two older sisters who died within days of birth, spotty childhood medical care) and her body somehow fixed it. Built up scar tissue until her heart no longer had a hole. She gave birth to two children, lived a normal life and only had this diagnosed in her 70s. How cool is that? How badass is the human body?
