It seems WODIN has the most "surgically repaired, mended, casted body parts than anyone else here". This got me to thinking.... how many surgeries has everyone had? Also, what were they for? just curious.... ------------------     | ||

Ok I'll start this up. I have only had two surgeries one for my nose, deviated septum, and the other for my eyes. The one for my eyes is probably the most unique surgery out of anybody on the board...probably. Here is what happened, when I was born the muscles that make my eyelids go up and down were underdeveloped. So my eyes were half shut all the time. I was three years old when I had the surgery. What the doctor did was he took part of the muscle from my quad and transplanted it into my eyes. I have a pretty big scar on my left quad about 7 inches, and I have scars above my eyes they are not very visible, you cant see them unless I point them out. But what I hate is on my leg the muscle is herniated slightly and pokes throught the fascia. it does not hurt though. kinda weird huh Later ------------------ | ||

Sharps - how cool that the doctor could to that......that's a very special story. Good thing you can see as I'm sure it was probably more difficult prior to your surgery. That's really neat! ------------------ | ||

Fitness- Yeah I always had to tilt my head back to see. In the pictures I look really goofy like a drunk little kid. The surgery was done at Micheal Reese hospital in Chicago by DR. Putterman. He also did a girl that did not have any tear ducts in her eyes he made them from the skin in her mouth. ------------------ | ||

I went surgery free for the first 31 years of life. In the past 2 years I've gone under the knife 2x. First one was a knee reconstruction (acl). The other was 3 weeks ago on the same knee. I tore up the cartiledge like surface that covers the femur where it glides on the meniscus in the knee. Had some holes drilled in the femur to hopefully regenerate some cartiledge like substance where they took destroyed part out. Been on crutches for the last 3 weeks. Yee-Haw | ||

Have a metal plate in my back at c5+c6 someday I'll go back and have c7 added. Just a matter of time. Never had my collar bone or ribs fixed, kinda screwed up now. Oh well - no knife involded, so they don't count. | ||

I have had two, split my arm in half and had to have it set. Had the cartiledge from my knee removed. My knee locked up in the bent position. I forced it straight and POP! |
