I haven't had a lot of medical procedures. The most significant would be my cesarean sections - recovery from those has been pretty cake for me. The only procedure I've found to be particularly loathsome is the insertion of an IV needle. It's kind of funny that I have had major abdominal surgery (even watched them in a mirror), but I can't watch a nurse insert that IV needle in my arm.
