Good day,
Just turned 35 April 9th. I was a wildland firefighter for 15 years and my body got pretty busted up so I feel OLD! I've currently been retired due to an injury as I can't pass a physical anymore with the spinal fusion rods and screws in my back. So to date here's my surgery tally,
2 left knee repairs
2 right knee repairs
1 hernia repair
1 Rhizotomy (removing the nerves from my broken vertebrae to help relieve pain)
1 spinal fusion to bolt my back together again
And I just turned 35! UGH! I'm still recovering from the fusion surgery but it's getting better. That was an awesome job, but hell on the body.
