I haven't been in a hospital in a while. I miss the feeling you get when you're in there and return home...

Never had surgery.
The only thing close to surgery for me was electro-cautery |

@Beast
It wasn't that bad actually. The pain medication really helps you relax and when they insert the anesthia (the stuff that make you fall asleep) if acts very quickly.
I remember them asking me what grade I was in, responding, and then waking up in the recovery room. |

@Matt
Well everyone has this thing called an appendix, it basically does nothing in your body. It is attached to your large intestine and if it gets plugged, it can swell and then rupture. Mine got plugged and swelled up like a balloon, so I have severe pain in my abdomen and had to have surgery to get it removed before it ruptured. |
