surgery

[ButterflyBomb]

I've had surgury to straighten the tubes that connect my kidneys to my bladder so that I would stop getting infections. One of the two scariest days of my life until they gave me "happy" medicine. I don't even remember going into the oporating room all thanks to that pink stuff (at least I think it was pink).

Recovering from that wasn't any fun either.

I don't think I've ever gone under the knife; the thought kind of terrifies me because if I'm anything like my mom, some kinds of anesthesia might make me puke. O_o I hate throwing up, period.

My aunt has had her tonsils taken out; poor lady, she was... fifteen? I think and when she came out being under she was in so much pain she thought she'd died. O.o They had to use about five shots of morphine to even dull the pain; now she no longer goes to that specific hospital.

I have actually recently had surgery done on my left hand. Reason being is that I had whats called a ganglion.Which is a swelling that often appears on or around joints and tendons in the hand or foot. If mine was small which it wasn't it would of either been left or the fluid from the cyst would of been
drained out. Mine was too large so they had to remove it by surgery.So i have a wee scar on me hand.

.... poor people... my dad has had surgury maybe 3+ times? o_o he has some kind of cancer....

My doctors say I need surgery when I'm 18 due to a birth mark mole that is on my chest, my (deceased) father and my little brother both have it the doctors keep saying "oh it got bigger! You need it removed! Its cancer!"
ANYTHING is cancer these days.
Its not getting bigger, its the same size it was 3 years ago.
-_-
(sorry started ranting)
but my brother did have eye surgery twice(peed on the doctor once)
xD

Techno, he PEED on the doctor? I hope he was a baby, then. xD That'd be weird if he wasn't.

With plastic surgery, I stand at only using it for corrective purposes. Anything more, and you may end up looking like a clown after a while.

I gotta agree with Techno on the birthmark thing, I've got two very tiny moles on my right arm that I've had from birth and they haven't budged; well, the tinier one has faded quite a bit into my skintone but the other hasn't changed. If you don't want plastic surgery, then don't get it; you know your own body and as long as you keep an eye on it you'll be fine.

There was an article in Seventeen magazine (my sis subsribes to it, and I sometimes pick it up outta boredom) on this; it gave pictures of moles and stuff that showed the signs of getting cancer.

Discoloration is one of them. If it gets shaped funny, like an ink blot with faded edges, that's another one.

I'll have to look up the rest.

I may need to have surgery on my mouth e_e My friend had surgery on a ganglion as well o3o It was HUGE! I was like 'wow' when I saw it. The thought of going under the knife makes me feel quite queasy D:

I've never had surgery... Now that I think about it, I've never been to the hospital since I was born. O_O
But, I do get sinus infections ever time I get a cold. It's so annoying. -__-;
My sister had to get a cist removed from her uterus when she was pregnant. O_O That, was kinda scary... heheh.
