Quad bypass about 8 years ago, had gall bladder removed a couple of years ago. Oh, I had my tonsils taken out waaay back in the day
Tonsils out when I was young. Ankle surgery from a solo motorcycle accident (2 screws/plate) in 1988. Hip replacement in 2005. Right shoulder rotator cuff surgery in 2007. Left shoulder rotator cuff surgery in 2015. That's it.
Cervical disc replacement (C4/C5) circa 1996. Got in an FDA pilot program for a new procedure. Had a top-notch orthopedist and neurosurgeon. Was quite the success. Had a bladder stone removed a month or so ago...they called it "surgery," but they created no new entry point.
Eye operation, age 2, due to German measles Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy age 6 Partial meniscectomy right knee age 60 In addition to four colonoscopies age 60s and 70s
Oops, forgot to mention cataract surgery age 74. All surgeries successful, thankfully. And if I had a support structure, I'd have both shoulders and the right elbow replaced as has been recommended.
Out of curiosity I looked up the technical definition of surgery and found they even consider setting broken bones, without any cutting, as surgery. The most significant and painful "surgery" was when they set the bones in a broken wrist. They only gave me a bullet to bite on.
I have had no surgeries of any kind (except for setting a fractured wrist bone) in my 84 years. Oh yeah...I also had a Vasectomy! Yup Yup Yup.
