@MissStress that must of been hard at that age, I had a similar operation at 13, wasn't pleasant, but totally worth it ❤️

I have had a hernia operation when i was younger. I was advice 3 years ago by my doctor to have my prostate remove and i decided to take my chances with my maker and i decline and it is actually working again but it does give me some trouble occasionally. I went back to the gym and i feel so much better now and i have lost considerable weight. I take insulin and a daily low dose aspirin daily and i am doing great even my blood pressure is normal at 63 years old

I had appendectomy under general anesthesia when I was 14. At 16 and 17 I had two gynecologic surgeries under spinal anesthesia because of a malformation of my hymen (I had a hymen cribiformis).

My last surgery I had was at 18 my wisdome teeth removal under local anesthesia

In addition to all the surgeries I listed in Post #28 some time ago, Please add another surgery to my list which was to remove a SECOND pilonidal cyst in my hiney crack exactly 60 years to the month after my first surgery for this back in December, 1964, when I was 16.

I was anesthetized with Propofol, which is a great way to be knocked out. I was talking to the surgeon while watching the anesthesiologist connecting the Propofol to the IV line. He said….”Are You Ready?” I said, “Sure, let’s go”. He started pushing in the Propofol and I swear I was “OUT” in 2 seconds and was waking up in the recovery area. That stuff is great. No drowsiness afterwards. YMMV!

I have posted pictures of my hiney showing this surgery in my Zity Album titled “MY PERSONAL PICTURES “. Feel free to check it out.

@GillyJ it wasn't that bad. As I have nothing else to compare it to I am limited with how "bad" it could be. Without the surgery I might not have the use of that arm. The break in the ulna gives me more "aches". I feel the bone moved just a wee bit after the ER set it and the repair of my radius 3 weeks later. It healed a bit out of line. Pushing my wrist bones a bit out of place. I rub the lump of the bone repair on the outside when the ache gets too much. But I'll live with it.

@MissStress sounds painful, hope it doesn't cause you too much discomfort ❤️
