How many surgeries have you had?

[Glock 'em down]

I've had ingrown toenails removed from both feet and I had an Microphlebectomy procedure, which is the removel of dead or damaged varicose veins in your legs.

They removed around 75 veins from my left leg and over 100 from my right. The entire procedure consisted of four sessions, on each leg, over a span of 12 weeks with a few ultrasounds thrown in to make sure there were no blood clotting issues.

It was a very bloody, graphic process and it took me about 16 weeks to recover.

My gallbladder, they said, "2 incisions, 1/2" each, go home tomorrow. "

I woke up 4 days later, field dressed.
It was a little worse than Dr expected.
