I live to tell the tail tho

Ive done exactlty the same thing Sally I had cancer of the womb uterus and ovaries so had to have them all removed and I died on the table and woke up looking like I have a fight with Lennox Lewis I bust all 60 stitches and had to be restitched, had tonsils out died again and when my gall bladder reptured died again apparently I scare myself to death, great . So the possibility of another op doesnt fill me with confidence I have to say.

Body parts I have already "donated" to Dolly the sheep are
Tonsils, Womb, uterus, ovaries, 2 x lumps from my breast and the not 2 you see Rich ,
Knee cap, all my wisdom teeth so now im a definate blonde, Chunk from my back, broke my neck in two places, fractured cheek bone with pin in it now, right arm has nerve and tissue damage, and now my shoulder even my equine vet offered to put me down - shes' a lovey lady I would donate my body to science but at this rate theres gonna be bugger all left

... And you continue to go back to the same hospital ????

At this rate you'll end up a Cyborg in 10 years!

My mother-in-law had problems during surgery many years ago, she died several times during a simple surgery - and was brought back to life

Anyways, it turned out she had a reaction to the common anesthetic they used and it was duly noted in her journal. On later occations they used a different anesthetic (more expensive and you feel like shit waking up) without problems.

We were told that this reaction is hereditary and reasonable rare, so when our daughter had her nose fixed (no airflow through one nostril) this was taken into consideration and everything went smooth allthough she was in recovery twice as long as the other "nose jobs" that day...
