Ever have surgery?

I have never had surgery before and I'm soo afraid to ever have to get it

I will probably need my wisdom teeth out soon, though.. and maybe my gall bladder after some tests go through.

 

Nah, just a whole lot of stitches. I'm healthy as a clam.

 

i had a partial meniscectomy -

i had torn part of my lateral meniscus on my right knee. so they had to remove part of it. the meniscus is cartilage in the knee

 

At first I though that said "penisectomy"....

ROFL

 

i could go for one of those. it is pretty small

 

But it has big dreams. :biggrin:

 

I had two births by cesarean ... They were both very different. My freezing didnt take in one of them and that really FUCKING SUCKED

 

I've had surgery before, 15 times.

On my eyes, on my feet, on my stomach, aaand on my crotch (twas a hernia) and I won't even try to remember where else.

 

Oh my gosh, you are a true fighter!!!!

 

two c-sections.

 

Dental, outpatient vasectomy, psychedelics.

 

wisdom teeth removal and pinched nerve repair in the left foot

 

lower back surgery--after months on painkillers--they under dosed me for the operation--i woke up not quite during the operation but seconds after they finished--in level 10 pain and they wouldnt give me anything cas they said i was still under anestiseia--i will never get another surgery unless its life threatening--or i have a stash of my own painkillers

 

Medicine has a sinister attitude toward pain, fearing we might be influenced by such secondary benefit such as relief.

 

Broke a disc in my spine while on a roof in Hawaii-'74. Double hernia repair -2004. One side of hernia repair failed-fixed in 2006. Pulminary embolism-2oo7-fed rat poison at the hospital to break it up. Installed a stent for AAA-2008. (this was the big one= removed aorta from below my heart down to the stent and replaced with plastic.DR. said he could see my backbone right thru the aorta and said later--we were lucky to pull this one off! How I'm still roofing---I don't know,but I is. If I didn't have a sense of humor ,I'd be a grumpy modecker.

 

Been stitched up a bunch of times...chin, ear, mouth (impacted wisdom teeth), and vajay-jay twice.

I look just like Frankenstein.

 

yes I had 2 surgerys when I was little, I had to have rods put in my back

 

Me too, far too many... had a few repair jobs tying things back together and removing debris which shouldn't be there.

Yet the worst scars are the ones you didn't go and get stitched up when everyone said you should!

 

3 surgeries for me.

1 on my knee when i torn my ACL a few years back

then 2 more from a motorcycle wreck which almost killed me. crushed my clavicle on one side and broke my wrist and part of my thumb. the clavicle didn't heal the first go around so i had to have a 2nd surgery with a grapht(sp?) from my hip bone.

Well, i was going to add some pics but i don't have them hosted anywhere and can't find the attachment button
