Sarah, I think it is about time you know something about David. I am sure he has told you about being born with a club foot (I know how he goes on and on about it). Well, there is a part of that he does not often tell people.
When I lived with Karma and Emer, they were doing some work in their basement. One afternoon while David was off gallivanting, I was helping Emer install a dryer. In the process, a few old pictures fell out from behind the old dryer. I picked them up and noticed that they were of David as a young child with some vivid photographs of a bone implant surgery. Emer reluctantly told me the story that David was not actually born with a club foot, but rather with no foot at all. As you know, Karma was always worried about David being considered a freak, so she made up her mind to have him undergo a risky and experimental foot implant surgery.
While the skin and muscles were partly harvested from his right buttocks (I'm sure you've seen the scars), the doctors needed bones to complete this new frankenfoot. The answer came when Emer was driving through Salt Lake near the Hogle Zoo and, out of nowhere, an escaped flamingo hit his windshield. While the zookeepers were distraught, Emer was wise enough to realize that this was a blessing and that the bird had not given its life in vain.
The bones harvested from the flamingo's foot served as an almost identical match to the boy David's foot (although as you know the match is still a little off). While this greatly improved David's life and made him a little less freakish in the foot department, there were some side effects that didn't show up for some years. Among these is the tendency to ingest small rocks to aid in digestion, the strange characteristic of only being able to yell at rugby referees in a high-pitched squeal, and the unpredictable urge to stand on one foot with the other resting against his leg.
