"We can make him better..."

[AUFred]

Strike up the theme to "The Six Million Dollar Man". I am amazed how many people my age and younger are having a variety of surgeries on shoulders & knees & hips. So far I have only had things removed like tonsills & appendix. Have you had any surgeries to correct joint issues or circulatory issues?

I probably would try to avoid it. One surgery generally leads to more.

So far I have been fortunate. My wife may have to have surgery on her neck & shoulder at some point. She needs foot surgey too but is putting it off.

Had surgery to mend a broken jaw, other than that, the only other operation I've had was to remove my appendix.

A lot of the motivation for my weight loss is to try my best to avoid these things in later life. My dad was a football player, and later a routinely drunk weight lifter (drugs + dumbells = pain) as well as a meat cutter and he is completely obliterated. Knees, feet, hands, shoulders, elbow...they could all use surgery, he just can't afford it so he limps along.

I hope to be able to strengthen my joints a bit and give myself a head start. Can't imagine how painful all of that is.

Had surgery on my shoulder and ankle. Wouldn't change it for the world.

Only had my tonsils out and surgeries having to do with my shunt.

I've had my gallbladder removed. I really should go in to have my knees and back looked at, but I'm a "man"...LOL!

Edit: I'm a puss!
