It is becoming increasingly important to know if you are compatible….with YOURSELF!
What is inside of you — Metal, Plastic, Ceramic… is important to know. Request your medical records from the hospital you had your surgery in (doctors usually don’t have this information to send you). Keep a file with all of your “ingredients” as you become more bionic.
