  • I hate my knee!! :(
Lemme see....
 2 knee portals used 6 times - that's 12
 incision in my palm for trigger finger release
 carpal tunnel incisions in both wrists
 c-section incision
 3 large portals in my tummy from having my gallbladder out
 I don't wanna think of how long of incisions from having the "girls" adjusted for size
 2 portal incisions in my groin from heart catheterization
 no visible evidence of having had Lasik so my vision isn't 20/800 anymore

Plus a couple other things they've done that didn't leave visible marks - like sinus surgery where they went up my nose -- which sucked!

I think it's safe to say I've been through the wringer on a few things... some left more marks than others. and I'm only 40!
multiple arthroscopies 2/00,3/01,6/01,1/03, 12/07,10/10. chondromalacia, severe medial joint space narrowing following 3 partial menisectomies, chronic pain problems, kneecap problems, OCD lesion, failed mfx.
