JACKIE "BIONIC" ROBINSON REBOUNDING

(07/27/2004)

Jackie Robinson says she is now a bionic woman. A few weeks ago she actually had her knuckles replaced. "It's great to have new knuckles," she said, the old ones taken by arthritis. "The physical therapy has been hard, but I'm sure it will have been worth it." She said the contraption on her hand was carefully crafted to assist the surgery. It will likely be removed Thursday, she said.
