Missing body partsNow there are some bits of your body you don't mind losing - my dad's just got rid of a kidney stone, my own tonsils once tried to asphyxiate me, and nobody wants warts.
Other bits are more useful - a family friend recently lost an arm... which would be OK if his job wasn't managing dis-armament talks.
What have you lost, and where did you leave it?

Toe longI had a tumour removed from the end of my little toe on my left foot (non cancerous). Unfortunately the NHS doctor who performed this task (under local anaesthetic) made an absolute pig's ear of it and not only did he give me a compound fracture on the end of my little toe (v painful), he also didn't remove the whole tumour and so it grew back.
This time I went private (thank God for BUPA) and had it removed under general anaesthetic. The doc also had to take the end bone of my little toe away because it was so badly damaged. You can't really even tell anything's been removed.
Fast forward a couple of years and I sat my new boyfriend down to tell him I was an amputee - you should have seen his little face!
