    Tonsils at age ten or so.

    I thought being in the hospital was so exciting and cool! They told me I would get to have my tonsils in a jar. They lied. :angry:

    LIARS!

    I was allowed to bring home the little stones that infected my gall bladder. My son took them to school for show & tell. The teacher was not amused.

    Not me, but my daughter had her forehead removed, re-shaped put back in with dissolvable plates and screws at 10 months old. Then at almost 5 years old, they put in titanium plates over some soft spots on her skull and put in an implant over her left eye to help contour her forehead.

    She's my little metal head :heart:

    I had a c-section with her.

    I had all four wisdom teeth removed in my teens. They were all growing in at a 90 degree angle so they had to shatter them and take them out piece by piece. Fun stuff.

    Hysterectomy at 23.
    Follow-up surgery a week later to put a mesh screen in place because my intestines were "gluing" themselves to the scar tissue. OUCH.

    oooh well here goes - squint correction aged 6 - didnt work i still go cross eyed :O)
    fistula construction for dialysis X 3 - each one failed so they tried again. - making a place my arm where they could put the dialysis needles
    CAPD tube fitted - so i could do dialysis at home. - tube in the tummy that you attach bags of dialysis fluid to and then swap the fluid 4 x a day every day.
    Neck line fitted- when dialysis wasnt working they fitted a tube in to my heart so i could go on to a machine - this is an emergency fistula basically
    2 weeks later

    Had a big gaping smile about 10 cm long on my right calf stitched up after I ripped it open on a screw that was sticking out of something when I was 12,

    I had my left kneecap repaired after it fractured in 2 places when I was 14. Other than minor craps and accidental injuries (renown for those) that's been it... So far...

    Hernia - was 2-3 years old
    Wisdom Teeth - 22

    Around age 35 I had a root canal on a tooth but it did not work. So had to have the Doc go in from the side, opened up the gum to the bone of my jaw. He drilled through the bone to remove the root of the tooth. Sorry I don't know what it was actually called.

    Thats it I think.

    Two root canals 15/19
    C-sections 16/18
    I'll probably endure two more c-sections unless my hips grow wider or my babies stop having big *kitten* heads. :/ Both seem unlikely. Last baby was 9lbs 14oz.... So I expect the next two to be 10lbs+ and I am a little lady so that doesn't work out very well.
