More people who have it worse than you and me.
Doctors in India have begun operating on a two-year old girl who was born with four arms and four legs.
Lakshmi Tatma is joined to what is known as a "parasitic twin" which stopped developing in the mother's womb.
The operation to correct the rare condition - known as isciopagus - is expected to take up to 40 hours.
Now I don't feel so bad about not being able to spend Thanksgiving with family. At least none of them are ever likely to need operations that last 2 days.
