Well, with the exception of Music 102, which is only delayed. Although the idea to complete my P.E. final with a written test on the rules of volleyball? Sneaky, sneaky. But I aced it, of course.

But I swear, I need a button: I am a genius, and should be exempt from shit.

On that side? Gone-gone. Grafted directly into the implant that my leg attaches to. Solid anchor in what remains of my femur, and plastic tendons to hold the hip in the socket. It's why the artificial knee is reinforced so much, because it bears more of the load.

Could you make artifical muscles? Or something?

That's what my new arm is, myomer. Artificial fibers, steel that behaves like muscle. Trying to graft that onto my leg? It'd be like... okay, imagine a hole in the wall. You fix it with spackle, not entirely new studs and drywall and wiring and all that. Otherwise you'd have to tear down more than you'd fix. To replace the damaged muscle in my leg with myomer would mean weaving it all the way up into my abdominals and lower back - and I've seen how that's done, and I want to avoid it if at all possible. My arm feels weird enough now as it is.
