    minor surgery on the lady parts to stop some not so minor pain 19

    endoscopy to find out why my stomach was screwed up, turned out I was pregnant and it wasn't showing up in tests.....27
    c-section after three days of labor (to quote Larry the cable guy it was like running a marathon just to learn I could have taken the bus the whole way) 27

    Wisdom teeth extraction 18
    Tonsils and adenoids 19 (the day after Christmas)
    c-section 22
    ganglion cyst on left wrist 24
    c-section 26

    I think that is it for now.
    My baby girl having a chest tube put in when she was 18 months old for severe pneumonia that caused an abcess in her lung was WAY worse than any of my surgeries. I was a wreck. I spend a week in the hospital with her. I only left her side ONCE. Hubby made me go home to wash my clothes and watch a movie with our son. Then I went back and kicked his butt out.

    1. Bunion surgery on my foot in 5th grade.
    2. Reconstructive Hip Surgery at age 14
    3. Wisdom teeth removed (can't remember when....)
    4. Tonsils removed at age 22
    5. C-section at age 28
    6. C-section at age 30

    Huh, it was kind've interesting to go back and think about them! The worst thing about surgeries of ANY kind is the anesthetic. It makes me feel SOOO sick after I come to. I dread it every time. :(
