I broke my thumb playing basketball and waited two weeks before going to the doctor, who sent me to an orthopedic guy, who had to re-break it. That was officially my second surgery if we’re counting wisdom teeth.
After that
2 surgeries, left ankle
One surgery, right hip
28 surgeries, right ankle/tibia
I’m overdue for more now that I qualify for an artificial ankle joint or two, but I don’t think I’ll live long enough to benefit for it, so skipping it. I could’ve tried it years ago, but the artificial joint wasn’t perfected yet and wouldn’t have worked.
