I have had 30 surgeries. I have had some major and minor surgeries. The longest I was ever hospitalized after a surgery was for a Periacetabular Osteotomy or PAO, which was 5 days. That surgery was brutal and called for reconstruction of my hip socket because of hip dysplasia. I had my hip replaced at 40. I have had 10 knee surgeries. I have had 2 hip scopes. In 2017, I had brain surgery to implant a Ventriculoperitoneal or VP shunt. I have Hydrocephalus so the shunt drains off the access brain fluid into my abdominal cavity. I just found out that I have a rare major motility disease that causes my lower esophageal sphincter to not open. This means food cannot get to my stomach the normal way so I will need surgery to soon. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Conversely, games like Twister, Mouse Trap or Cluedo felt more dynamic an dimensional.
Thankfully no.
No matter how bad my injuries are, God always keeps them from getting infected and heals them up where you would never even know they were there in the first place.
