Eileen Brown doesn’t have any full-fledged robotic phalanges or anything, but she is slowly but surely becoming what most would consider a bionic woman. Mrs. Brown has been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis since her 20s, and now that she’s 49, countless surgeries have replaced every joint in her body with artificial alternatives save for her elbow and left hip — the latter of which is set to be swapped out before the month’s end. Currently, the determined dame lives with a lot of pain, but she refuses to let a few aches ruin her livelihood. In all honesty, the most amazing part of this isn’t the ability of metal (enough to set off an airport detector) to hold a person together, it’s the will to soldier on. Kudos, Eileen.
