Foxy - I agree!! One of the specialist that I saw for my knee this time told me that the injury that I have (torn ligaments, meniscus) is more common in women than in men. Also, more likely to happen when you're having your period. Weird!

It happened March 4th and the party was the 6th. UGH!!!
We still joke about the party, my friends were doing wheelies with my wheelchair. All in all I just wanted everyone to have fun and stop worrying about me. I think they did, we ran out of bottled beer and only had a little left in the keg =) shots.gif

Surgeries...I am an old pro....And not even 29 years old...

I have had at least 20 Colonoscopies...(what fun)

#1 Surgery Total Colectomy ( complete removal of colon)

#2 Surgery (On Valentine's Day) Emergency Surgery to stop bleeding from #1

#3 J-Pouch Construction Surgery

#4 Temp J-Pouch undo b/c of abcess less than 3 days after coming home from #3

#5 Cyst Removal

#6 Wisdom Teeth Removal

#7 - indefinite Yearly J-pouch inspection (not quite surgery but I do get the good drugs and the pretty gown)

 

So....ummm I think I have had my fair share...

Surgeries... hmmm...

 

Wisdom teeth x 4 = That was when we discovered the servere allergy to codiene - lovely

 

Sinus Surgery - Turbinatectomy x 2

Sinus Surgery - scar band removal from infection during healing from first surgery

Sinus Surgery - Call it a cleaning

 

Lip biopsy - Testing for Sjogrens (local)

Lip Salavery gland abcess removal (the skin healed over one of the dissolvable stitches and abcessed) (local)

Sinus Surgery - Should be final one... new doctor... 10 years later... major removal of scarring and turbinate bone malformation, polyp removal.

 

I am hoping to stop there. :)

I've had three but one was a biggie.

 

On my 6th birthday I had spinal cord surgery (great birthday present huh? I was in the hospital for almost 2 months!). It took me over a year to recover so I think that was even worse than the surgery itself! I do have a pretty cool scar though (according to my guy friends at least), about 6 inches long...they tell everyone that I was really in a knife fight and I won, lol.

 

My second was eye surgery at 8 and third was wisdom teeth out at ~22.

No worries. I was actually born with spina bifida and I had tumours growing on my spine so if they didn't remove them I would have become paralyzed. I'm really lucky to have had great doctors since my back is completely fine now! I know that a lot of people with spina bifida aren't so lucky.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
