Lemme see,
I had a birth defect: My feet were attached to each other at the back of my achilles tendons to the base of my calves, so that had to be seperated and reattached. I was also born with one club foot, so that had to be corrected. I basically spent the first year of my life with my legs in casts.
I had a follow-up op on my club foot to correct it when I was six.
The foot problems came back to haunt me when I played soccer in college. I had to have 3 seperate surgeries over the course of 5 years to fix ingrown toenails. My doctor finally told me to stop running and kicking, and swin/cycle instead.
I injured the membrane that hold the lubricant in my right wrist last year (don't ask me how). The weakness in the membrane caused it to swell and cause carpal tunnel syndrome AND restricting my range of movement. So I had it fixed, and now my right hand has probably 60% of the strength it had before, and 80% movement range. :/
I also had all my wisdom teeth extracted a couple of years ago. Now I do a lot of dumb shit, like injuring my wrist.
All of the above were done under general anesthetic, so I consider it surgery.
