three hernia operations in the same spot (groin) over the last 17 years.

Almost forgot the two knee surgeries after a client broke one leg and messed the other knee up.

Can you say, OUCH!

Holy crap !!

Yes. It sucked.

How old dragon is daughter.....


So far so good on both my girls 16 and 10 never anything but being born...

dang elwood......that's rad...

dang that is a lot too.

I would rather give birth to triplets, three times, WITHOUT drugs than have a tonsilectomy at 36!

Hey Carmen, a girl at work is scheduling her c-section on 07-08-09...

tonsilectomy when I was 7,
gave birth to 1st child when I was 19,
gave birth to 2nd child when I was 22,
gave birth to 3rd & 4th child when I was 30.

I've had an emergency eye surgery and a knee surgery.
Good luck to your hubby Feral.....hope he get a great physical therapist to push him along the way!

Love it........and nothing other then that....that's pretty good...

I have a 19 and 16 year old. The 16 year old had these done when she was 12.

That would be hard.....Dragon....I am grateful I have not had to seem my babies have surgery.....

We did with my 16 year old learn that she was legally blind in one eye.....I felt horrible she thought was cool to get out of sports at school..I guess they felt safer to protect one good eye.....Weird thing legally blind in one eye but with both 30/20 vision which is weird...She compensated herself for it...and faked and memorized eye charts..

Glad to hear your hubby is doing well ((((((((FERAL))))))

Up until last year only in the hospital to give birth twice. Once at 28 and once at 30.

Last year lets see all one visit I had a tracheotomy, chest tube, and feeding tube. I think that was it, not exactly sure. Everything now is going great. Walking, talking and even riding an adult tricycle which is harder than a bicycle I found out.

My miracle friend....and the scariest year of my life.....


God Bless you sweet woman....your an awesome testimony

ahhhhh Deb if it wasn't for all the people praying for me I would not have pulled through. I am taking each day as it comes and enjoying life. I don't know how far you are from Washington but I will be out there in September maybe sooner too visit Marie. Would love to see you also.

I am in Calif...pretty far....but let me know and I will see if can work it....I am having a meet here in San Diego in May 2010 so may if can't make Washington you can make to Calif....How are you health wise...

That was one amazing thread the prayer chain for you......Never again will one be that long I am sure of it.....God was working powerful with those people praying and you.....It was so so so great to be part of. And the first time I got to talk to you....crying I remember like it was yesterday.

The doctor says that I am as good as I can get. I can slow down the COPD but can't stop it. Since I no longer smoke, and have no desire to smoke that helps. I also am doing water aerobics, walking, and riding an adult tricycle. Boy is that thing hard to steer, I ended up going in circles, and falling off. It was either fall off or hit a speeding van......

I will see what I can do about coming out for the meet next May. My brother says that I am doing more than he has since moving here. San Diego would be interesting to see.
