Surgery

[Quashie]

I just had a microvascular decompression (MVD) done this April. I had a disease called trigeminal neuralgia. It's an inflammation of the trigeminal nerve causing severe pain in the face. In my case, the pain was limited to my right cheek and right nostril. I had to stay home from school for three months. No one knew what was wrong. It's a very rare disease, especially in my age group.
I'm all better now, though~

Here's a photo of the incision right after surgery two days after surgery.

Spoiler for Hiden:

I don't know if this counts, but I also had an endoscopy done last January.

I think Quashie wins for most dramatic-sounding surgery thus far for a member here

I've got my least favourite part coming up with me soon: Changing dressings. I'm so paranoid about it, and its all stuck down well to hairs and ouchy it'll hurt

Well, today, I was at the local skating rink, and I was skating really fast, and I fell flat on my... chin. There was a flash of light, and my chin and head began throbbing. I skated off, and I went to rest, and realized I was pouring blood from my chin.
I was saying, "OH MY GOD." and was panicking. My friend Madison followed me, and we went to go get ice and bandages. My mom had to come and get me, and we went to this urgent care place nearby.
And they had to give me shots of anesthetics twice. My face wasn't numb enough. Then I got four stitches. With a needle. I told them, "You are NOT going to use a needle unless I'm unconscious." And I was, surprisingly, very calm. And I had to wear these itchy bandages. Ugh, horrible.

And that's how I survived my first surgical experience. More or less.

I'm one of those lucky people who really has never had any major physical injuries/disorders/diseases. Well, I may have physical disorders, but screw your fancy machinery, I'll just diagnose it myself o~o It hasn't killed me, it's obviously not that bad.

That being said, I have had some not-so-fun injuries- like when I was around 3, I was playing in the backyard, like any normal child. Well, they had been doing work on the roof, a fact which I was blissfully unaware of. The metal detector they used to find the roofing nails had missed one, and the little bastard decided to hide right where I tripped. The little thing went into my knee. I don't remember it, since I was so young, but it sounds pretty nasty.

Luckily, nothing I've ever done has required stitches. I'm afraid of them. I've also never broken a bone, and my wisdom teeth seem quite happy not showing themselves/hiding in my jaw/not needing to be operated on.

Well I dont really have much to say in this topic because I've never had surgury (weirdly enough i've never actually been to a hospital)
I've never needed too
My sisters and parents live at the hospital/clinic or whatever and im just there like .. meehhh
Im just lucky I guess :]

I've had foot surgery to prevent fallen arches when I was little. What I really hated when the casts came off, however, is that I had a ton of trouble walking.

Recently, I have had dental surgery. To prevent crevices for bacteria to fester in, I have had my gums re-contoured. This is code for "lets numb you up a tad and laser the nasty tissue away!" Oh goodness, I could still feel the cool burning.

As my wisdom teeth will come in horizontally, I will have to have those out as well. >.<

Ooooh, Secad, what were your casts like? I had a blue one and a pink one. But then the pink one needed repairing so I made them do it with green bits xD

I'm nearly fully recovered now I think ^^ Haven't driven anywhere yet though, so I figure that's the final hurdle.

[Secad]

I got a blue right leg and a green left leg. I loved clonking around like a little Godzilla until I got yelled at. Apparently that could damage my feet! XD In addition, I have to go to a podiatrist every other year now to get checked up on. Apparently, those little screws can get damaged. (Little Secad: "So that's why mom freaked out every time someone stepped on my feet!")

Hmm.. the only time I can remeber was when I got stuck with my ear in a branch and almost made a hole right trough my ear  I was only like 4/5 years old so I cried alot 

I'm a twin so when i was born, me, my brohter and my mother almost died. Don't really know why

I have my own little lot of fun times to add to this thread, of course!

-When I was young (3-5) I broke both my leg and arm (not at the same time, but I've broken both) and had to get those fixed and wrapped in a cast.  I think both casts were pink.
-Slightly later, probably around the age of 6-8, I had to have 4 of my upper (baby) teeth removed because they wouldn't fall out on their own.  They wouldn't even loosen!  It was the most weird feeling being under anesthetics and having your teeth literally twisted out of their socket in your gums.
-Around the same age as before, 6-8, maybe actually a little younger, my Golden Retriever, Leo, poked a hole through my ear (the cartilage just above the lobe) and I had to get that stitched up, of course.
-I had ear tubes when I was a child and had to actually have one of them surgically removed because it wouldn't fall out.
-I stepped on a chunk of broken glass (again, me being a catastrophic youngin') on the way home from my friends house (bare feet in the summer ftw!) and had to get both my big toe and the one next to it stitched up.
-I had my lower wisdom teeth taken out quite recently and, lo and behold, they found an extra tooth still growing inside of my gums when they took the x-ray.  If they hadn't removed it during the surgery it would have continued growing and severed the nerves in my entire mouth.  That would have been fun!

I think that's about all the fun times I've had as far as surgery goes.  If I remember anything else I'll be sure to add it!
